Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I replaced my old Classic with the new 70 oz. Classic style. My old Camelbak had great quality and lasted over 10 years. It is actually still in good shape, but I got tired of the time it took to put ice in the small bladder opening.
The new model looks to have the same excellent quality and adds a small pouch (which is good to have) for keys, money, etc. I really enjoy having the large mouth on the opening and the tab at the base of the opening adds a nice handle to make screwing on/off the lid easy. The fit of the new Classic V's out more over the shoulders. This makes it feel wider. The shoulder straps are full nylon vs. mesh on the old style. I believe this is for comfort, but I had no issues with comfort on my old model and can't say it is an advantage for me. The wide shoulder opening makes it easier to get on/off, but it is not as stable without hooking the chest strap. The old model did not have a chest strap.
Finally, I like the fact that the water draw tube is shorter. The older one dangled too low and got in the way sometimes. The angle of the nipple on the tube seems to be off and I have to twist the tube when grabbing it for a drink. This is something I should be able to adjust. I fully expect to enjoy the new Classic for a long time.
