I get through about 4 large bottles, a CB would be great for real needs, but they arenčt being met.
A large Camelbak carries 100 oz of water. That is slightly more than four 24 oz bottles. If you weigh around 200 lbs, that's your entire nonexercise daily requirement. If you need more water for exercise, you do exactly what you'd do with a bottle...add more water.

You can check the level of water in the Camelbak easily by reaching around with either hand and giving the bag a squeeze. Tells you instantly about how much water you have in it. If you leave a little air in the bag (not all that hard to do), you'll have an auditory method of telling how much water is in it.
