Important Hydration Information:
1. Drink early and often - the best defense against dehydration is a good offense - drink often - at least 1 liter per hour for moderate activity in moderate conditions. It's also better to drink continuously 6.8 oz. every 15-20 minutes is recommended by the American College of Sports Medicine. Remember that thirst is a delayed response, and by the time you 're thirsty, your body is already dehydrated. So pre-hydrating is vital before taking part in any summer exercise. The ACSM also recommends drinking between 14-20 oz. of fluids two hours before exercising.
2. Freeze some water in your reservoir - the night before your planned activity, fill your reservoir about halfway with water and lay it flat in the freezer (make sure to lay it flat so the water freezes evenly and not in a big lump at the bottom of the reservoir). The next day, before starting out, fill the rest of the reservoir with water. The huge chunk of ice will melt much slower than if strictly ice cubes were used. You'll have cold water for a much longer period of time throughout the day. This tip isn't just for he refreshing factor, although that's nice. It's been proven that your body absorbs cooler water more rapidly than warm water.
3. Keep the water out of your drinking tube - if you hate that first warm sip of water from your hydration pack, this tip can help you. This is something we've always recommended for our winter hydration packs, but it works well in summer too. When finished drinking, blow the water back through the tube in the reservoir. This will prevent the water from warming up in the drinking tube.
4. Replace your electrolytes - you don't have to be in a marathon or on a century ride for your body to thirst for electrolytes. In the summer heat, think of how often you bring a sports drink to a ball game, BBQ, or to the lake. Camelbak's Elixir is sugar-free, highly portable and can easily be split in half and added to a small bottle of water or used with the Camelbak Better Bottle. It contains a healthy amount of sodium, which allows your body to absorb water and re hydrate faster, and can help prevent the onset of hyponatrmia (when sodium levels in the body reach a dangerously low level).
5. Water sports are still sports - don't forget the swimming, wake boarding, and rafting are all water sports that dehydrate you just as much as exercise on land. Plus, you're probably going to be in the sun's glare for the duration of the activity. The Camelbak Better Bottle is a great rafting companion - just use a carabineer to clip it to your life jacket. Or clip it inside your raft and let it sit in some cool river water to stay cold. Make sure you keep plenty of water in the boat during a wake boarding session.
6. Recognize the symptoms of heat illness and get out of the sun - dehydration can set in sooner than you think. You can easily lose 2 liters per hour on a hard ride or a run on a hot day, but even recreational outdoors enthusiasts can lose up to 1 to 1.5 liters per hour. In a recent position statement of the National Athletic Trainers Association, as little as 1 to 2 percent loss of fluids could negatively affect function and performance. A 1 to 2 percent loss of fluids can occur after a little more than one hour of moderate activity in cool weather without water. At 3 percent, the risk of potential heat illness increases exponentially.
7. Bring water with you to all day events - concerts, amusement parks, baseball games - these are all places where water is usually extremely expensive and often neglected. Most places will allow you to bring a recyclable plastic bottle of water or even a hydration pack to the venue.
