About the Product
The CamelBak Cloud Walker Backpack is a hydration-first daypack that can pull double duty as an everyday carry—especially if your “everyday” includes commuting by bike, short hikes, or staying hands-free with water on tap. At 18 liters, it’s on the smaller side for the Everyday Backpacks category, but it prioritizes carry comfort with a breathable air-mesh back panel and padded shoulder straps. It also skips a dedicated laptop sleeve, so it’s less ideal as a tech-forward work bag than many school/commuter backpacks.
For longevity-minded shoppers, the headline is CamelBak’s “Got Your Bak” lifetime warranty, which covers defects in materials and workmanship (with common carve-outs like normal wear, misuse, and cosmetic damage). In practice, this is a meaningful backstop for manufacturing issues, though you should expect exclusions and potentially variable claim experience by region. Repairability is mixed: hydration components and some straps are replaceable, but shoulder straps are sewn-in, and CamelBak doesn’t advertise an official zipper repair program—so a damaged zipper may mean a third-party repair shop or a warranty decision.
About Camelbak
CamelBak has built its name around reusable hydration since 1989, introducing the first hands-free water reservoir and helping shift outdoor gear toward long-lasting, refillable solutions. The brand’s mission centers on cutting single-use plastic waste through durable, repairable bottles and packs—a goal reinforced by its Got Your Bak Lifetime Guarantee and the wide range of replacement parts it sells, from bite valves to lids and straws.
Known for reliability among hikers, cyclists, and everyday users, CamelBak has earned a reputation as a trusted leader in hydration gear. Independent reviewers consistently praise its toughness and innovation, though users note that some products require careful cleaning to prevent buildup in valves. A 2019 cap recall was handled responsibly, offering replacements and maintaining consumer trust.
Now part of Revelyst, CamelBak continues to operate with strong backing and global distribution. While its sustainability messaging focuses more on aspiration than measurable targets, its long history, proven repair support, and consistent quality make it one of the more enduring names in reusable hydration.
