About the Product

Need to carry your hydration in stealth mode? The Bootlegger™ keeps 1.5 liters of water (or maybe something more fortifying) tucked away under your jacket with the ultimate low-profile design. It’s a cold-weather version of a hydration vest, with extra-light, breathable materials and two sternum straps for a secure, bounce-free fit, plus an insulated drink tube to keep your water from freezing in cold temperatures. Plus, the new Crux reservoir delivers 20% more water with every sip, and features an ergonomic design that’s easy to grip — even with gloves on.

The Zoid™ does one thing, and it does it well: it maximizes your time on the mountain without bulking up your ride. The Zoid stows 2 liters of water in a minimal pack that’s slim enough to wear over or under your jacket. The Therminator™ harness features an insulated drink tube that zips away into the shoulder strap, where it’s out of your way and protected from cold weather, and the Snowshed™ back panel keeps powder from collecting on your pack. Two small pockets store the very basics: snacks, phone and keys.

What customers say about "Key Specs"

CamelBak Bootlegger Ski Hydration Pack, 50oz

Perfect size for day skiing, not too big but lasts all day of heavy skiing.
Overall, I like the small size, but do wish it included a few zipped areas to stash stuff besides just the main (water) pocket.
It has perfect size. It did not freeze. And it is easy to clean and reassemble.
I bought this thinking there would be room in it to hold a snack and my keys but it only holds water. If you want it to hold anything else then get a different backpack.

CamelBak Zoid Ski Hydration Pack, 70oz

The fit was perfect it never bothered me on my back while snow skiing! Perfect amount of room for all my nicknacks while spending a full day on the slopes.
Works very well! Very large reservoir, and slim enough to easy fit on the chair lift.
The new shut off valve is nice and streamlined. I have always been otherwise happy with Camelback systems and think they are the best bite valves out there.
Only complaint is the difficulty of getting a full bladder into the bag because of how slim form factor the bag is.

What customers say about "Features"

CamelBak Bootlegger Ski Hydration Pack, 50oz

Minimal features, but what I was looking for. Under ski jacket fit to ease my worries about catching on the chair lift. Perfect for me.
Works great in cold weather. I use it while skiing. If you don't fill the bladder completely you can fit a sandwich in pouch.
I get dehydrated easily at elevation. This is nearly a perfect solution! The 1.5L gives you enough water for at least a half-day in challenging conditions and a full day on groomers.
The 1500 ml capacity is adequate and will last most of the day, with refills quick and easy. It’s designed very well and very functional.
My one and only complaint is if it's cold, and I mean cold like below 30F the water will freeze in the tube even with the neoprene sleeve.

CamelBak Zoid Ski Hydration Pack, 70oz

This hydration pack is comfy and is a necessity if you plan on riding the whole day! The insulation prevents freezing and the bladder is large enough to last the day.
Most importantly, it kept my water from freezing. The zippered enclosure for the insulated tube is a great design.
Low profile is perfect for ski lifts and insulation keeps hose from freezing in extreme cold.
The bladder itself is easy to close which is great. Less chance of leaks when you lean back against this on the lift.
It is very cumbersome to remove the bladder from and place into the backpack.
