Custom by CamelBak: Water bottles in your own design

Customised design for Podium and Thrive

Whether it’s club kit, team bottles or individual orders: the new range brings together CamelBak’s range of personalised water bottles. According to the manufacturer, customers can use the entire surface of the bottle for custom designs. The Podium and Thrive model ranges serve as the basis for this. However, the announcement does not specify which models and bottle sizes are available in each case.

For road cycling clubs and training groups, this offer provides the opportunity to have water bottles customised to match their own branding. Event organisers and brand partners are also part of the target audience. CamelBak has not announced any technical changes to the bottles in connection with this programme. The focus is on the design.

Individual orders and dispatch within five days

CamelBak is promoting the scheme with no minimum order quantity and dispatch within five days. This would, in principle, also allow for individual personalised bottles. The timeframe mentioned refers to dispatch, not to delivery to the customer.

It remains unclear what terms and conditions apply to the various ordering methods. This is because CamelBak also refers to a new business customer catalogue for autumn 2026, which lists not only the product range and prices but also minimum order quantities and delivery times. The press release does not specify any specific prices. Nor does it explain any potential differences between individual orders and larger orders.

Online configurator announced for private customers

The programme expands the existing ordering channel for business partners. For retail customers, an online configurator is also planned on the CamelBak website. There, athletes and fans will be able to design their bottles using the same personalisation options.

CamelBak has announced that the ordering process, which is specifically tailored to end consumers, is set to launch in autumn 2026, in time for the Christmas shopping season. The company does not specify a precise launch date in its press release dated 22 October 2026. It is not clear from the release whether the configurator is already available. Teams, clubs and retailers can direct their enquiries to CamelBak via the business customer contact.

Partnerships and limited editions planned

Among its first partners, CamelBak lists the bottle range from Visma | Lease a Bike, the Los Angeles-based cycling collective Something DFRNT, Global Cycling Network and Sea Otter Europe.

In addition, limited-edition ranges are planned, with athletes and artists set to design them. CamelBak intends to sell these bottles directly via its website. There are also plans for special designs for selected events in cycling, trail running and other endurance sports. It has not yet been announced which designs will be featured or when the editions will be available.
