CamelBak Ergo HydroLock

The HydroLock is designed to be a simple inline upgrade. You simply cut your existing drinking tube, insert the HydroLock valve into the cut ends, and secure it in place.

While it is engineered specifically for CamelBak hydration systems, it is compatible with most standard hydration tubes that use a similar diameter. However, for the most secure and leak-free fit, we recommend using it with genuine CamelBak reservoirs.
