CamelBak® Hydrates Team Garmin-Slipstream During Grueling Tour de France Cycling Race

LIMOGES, France--(Business Wire)--
With temperatures exceeding 85 degrees Fahrenheit, two of the biggest challenges
facing riders during the Tour de France is staying properly hydrated and keeping
their core body temperature cool.

Team Garmin-Slipstream is relying on CamelBak`s® Podium® and insulated Podium®
ChillJacket water bottles to stay hydrated and cool during this year`s premiere
cycling event. For optimal performance under tough conditions, the nine
Garmin-Slipstream riders will use more than 2,100 Podium bottles during the
Tour`s 21 stages.

"Gamin-Slipstream is the first team to be supplied with an insulated bike bottle
to help them stay cool during the Tour de France," said Dave Carr, Global
Product Manager for CamelBak. "We were excited to provide the team with our
Podium ChillJackets that keep their water cool twice as long as standard
bottles, which helps riders stay as hydrated as possible during the hot stages
of the race."

The Podium ChillJacket keeps liquids cool twice as long as standard water
bottles with its airtight, foam-lined insulation and double-wall construction.
The bottle features CamelBak`s exclusive high-flow Jet Valve, which is
self-sealing so athletes can grab, drink from and stash the bottle without
worrying about opening and closing the valve. An additional lockout toggle
prevents leaks during transport.

"We`re always looking for new ways to make hydration gear for athletes that
won`t slow them down or get in their way," said Sally McCoy, President and CEO
of CamelBak. "CamelBak is honored that a team of Garmin-Slipstream`s caliber
chose our products as part of its technical gear for all of their races,
especially the Tour de France."

The Podium (MSRP: $8) and Podium ChillJacket bottles (MSRP: $12) are available
at specialty retailers nationwide.
