CamelBak founder Michael Eidson invented the concept of rear-mounted hydration packs (small backpacks containing a water reservoir or bladder, with an over-the-shoulder drinking hose, which prioritize hydration over everything else), and the US brand remains synonymous with these now popular products, to the extent that many people use CamelBak to generically refer to all such items. But since the concept was launched in the late 1980s, multiple brands have picked up the idea and run with it, and CamelBak face fierce competition from other players, including premier backpack brands like Osprey, who are hot on their heels.
