I was wondering if anybody knew of a hydration pack like a camelback that was made in Canada or at least by canadian owned companies

Arctryx used to be a Canadian company now owned by a finish company (amer sports) that makes nice gear.

Deuter is a German brand but makes really nice packs and gear as well.

A long time ago. In 2001 they sold to Solomon then in 2005 Solomon sold to Amer.

I just discovered MEC has a search filter on their site for made in Canada. Unfortunately none of their hydration packs are.

MEC itself is no longer owned domestically, I seem to recall. Didn't an American VC buy it when it got sold out from under the members?
