Probably be more for backpacking/camping/hiking, but does anyone have any preferences of one over the other?

Or are they created equally?  Thanks.

I can't be positive, but I think Camelbak is the original and Hydrastorm is the knockoff.  If you looked at earlier Blackhawk ads, they used to be "Camelbak compatible."

Hydrastorm is a knockoff.  I like the baffels and slightly thicker bladder in the HS, but the bite valve, well, it bites.  I like the new camelbak's personally.  I've crawled in the mud, swam, and dove my original for years.  Never a leak or problem.

Blackhawk no longer sells Camelbak, they sell Hydrastorm. I'm not even sure Camelbak is still made. Could very well be that Hydrastorm is a new line that replaced Camelbak.

I believe Camelback is the CHOICE of motocross and enduro motorcycle riders.

Since those guys live and die by their water supply, that's gotta tell ya something.

I have the Camelbak Storm, which happens to be a part of the MOLLE system.

Have used it for about 2 years, in various 3 gun matches and outdoors, good to go gear!

from the topic name, I thought this would be a thread about some wacky new fangled hollowpoints. But after reading the thread, I have no clue what you are talking about.

I offer what I know and I get shit for it. I wasn't trying to sell ANYTHING. But a hearty "FUCK YOU" to you too sir.

BTW your endorsement of Eagle products is reason enough for me to avoid them.
