CamelBak makes insulated and standard water bottles in a range of sizes and lid configurations. At Dwights, we stock CamelBak's core bottle range — the Chute Mag and Eddy+ series — in both insulated and non-insulated versions.
CamelBak bottles are a practical choice for tramping, trail running, and everyday use. The Chute Mag's magnetic lid stays out of the way when drinking; the Eddy+ uses a bite valve for hands-free sipping. Both are made from BPA-free materials and are dishwasher safe.
Choosing the Right CamelBak Bottle
- Chute Mag Insulated 1L: Wide-mouth, insulated, magnetic lid. Best for tramping and outdoor use where you want temperature retention for cold water or hot drinks. The 1L capacity suits a full day out.
- Chute Mag 1L (non-insulated): Same design, lighter. Best for use cases where insulation isn't needed.
- Eddy+: Bite valve lid for hands-free sipping. Popular for cycling, trail running, and situations where you want to drink without stopping or unscrewing a lid.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are CamelBak bottles good for tramping?
Yes — particularly the insulated Chute Mag 1L, which keeps cold water cold for extended periods on hot NZ summer days. The wide-mouth design is easy to fill at streams and hut taps. For tramping in colder conditions where you want warm drinks, the insulated version handles hot liquids too. The Chute Mag's magnetic lid is genuinely convenient — it stays attached and out of the way rather than dangling or getting lost.
What's the difference between the Chute Mag and Eddy+?
The Chute Mag has a wide-mouth opening with a magnetic lid — you unscrew and drink. The Eddy+ uses a bite valve and tube — squeeze and sip without fully opening the bottle. The Chute Mag is better for tramping where you're filling from streams and hut taps (wide mouth is easier to fill). The Eddy+ is better for cycling and trail running where you want to drink while moving without stopping to open a lid.
How do I clean a CamelBak bottle?
Both the Chute Mag and Eddy+ are dishwasher safe (top rack). For hand washing, use a bottle brush for the main body and a straw brush for the bite valve and tube on Eddy+ models. The magnetic lid on Chute Mag should be rinsed and dried separately. For insulated models, avoid abrasive cleaners which can damage the exterior coating. CamelBak sells cleaning kits with appropriately sized brushes for all their bottle components.
