This morning CamelBak announced some exciting new products and innovations. One that I found would be great for long mountain bike rides (and races like Cape Epic and BC Bike Race!) is their new Flow Meter which will tell you how much you’ve consumed, your rate of intake, elapsed time, and of course, how much is left so you never have to experience one of those “oh sh*t I’m out of water!” moments. It can also tell you when you need to drink more! It’s a simple attachment that utilizes a spinning flow-peller (for lack of better term) that spins as you suck (liquid) and then magnetically sends a signal to the LED device. And it’s compatible with any of their bladders and others. You just need to input the bladder volume into the device and you’re set. It will be available for purchase with all their bladders as well as sold separately. It will be available in the US this October and will retail for $30.
