Merge[edit]

I moved all of the info from CamelBak that isn't specific to the company, but I think that the company article should stay where it is. --Smack (talk) 02:16, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, it should be separate. Products should not be labled by one company name. Also if anyone is interested, the admins are attempting to delete Dromedary Bags, similar, but different, from hydration packs. If you'd like to add any info to that site it would be much appreciated. Jbabin 07:52, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think that it should stay as put. Maybe add some history?

I agree. Camelbak is a distinctive brand not a product type. Recently the company actually entered into the water bottle and high end - high tech glove line. I'm a big fan of Camelbak's innovation. Hopefully we can get some direct input from Camelbak to help out. I'll contact them.

They are nice.

New Merge - "Camelback hydration system" --> "Hydration pack"[edit]

NB: This is NOT the "CamelBak" brand merge again; it is a different article.

I have proposed the merger as the entire camelback hydration system article could fit as a section of the "Hydration pack" article; there is no need for a separate article. It does not seem to be written with a brand in mind (despite the similarities in name), and only has one source; it is essentially a synonymous article with less information. Alternatively, the "camelback hydration system" article can be merged into "CamelBak", but again, the article in question has no information specific to the brand. This is my last suggestion before my wikivacation - please discuss. Benjitheijneb (talk) 21:19, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The merge has been carried out manually, and the old article has now become a redirect. Benjitheijneb (talk) 15:28, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fact checking[edit]

The volumes mentioned in the article are highly suspicious. Cycling hydration packs 6-10 liters? during a brief search I couldn't find one above 3 liters. Military packs above 65 liters? If the soldier did not carry anything else it would still be an enormous load. Since I have exactly 0 experience in the topic I wouldn't edit the page myself, just point to a possible error.

I suspect that the volumes listed here are actually the volume of storage space, not the volume of of the bladder for water. I have a 65 liter backpacking backpack which takes a 3 liter bladder. So 65 liters of equipment and 3 liters of water. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.118.1.103 (talk) 16:42, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
