The Crayola x CamelBak collection combines the outdoor brand’s reusable drinkware with the recognizable look of Crayola crayons. Designed to resemble oversized coloring tools, the limited-edition bottles feature bold color blocking, black wave graphics, Crayola branding, and caps shaped like pointed crayon tips. The lineup is offered in familiar shades including blue, green, orange, red, and pink, creating the appearance of a giant box of crayons while bringing a playful aesthetic to everyday hydration products.
The collection includes insulated 16-ounce stainless steel bottles alongside lightweight 14-ounce and 25-ounce models. CamelBak retained its core performance features across the range, with the lightweight versions made from Tritan Renew material and the insulated bottles designed to help maintain drink temperatures throughout the day.
