Water Bottles, Flasks & Filters
Our collection offers a solution for every activity. For day-long hikes and general use, a durable hiking water bottle—whether a classic BPA-free design or a modern insulated water bottle—is a reliable choice. For those moving fast and light, a hydration bladder (or reservoir) allows for consistent, on-the-go sipping without breaking your rhythm. This method is proven to help maintain consistent energy levels.
For runners and ultralight enthusiasts, a soft flask for trail running offers a collapsible, slosh-free option, often integrated into a dedicated hydration pack for running. These vests provide a body-hugging fit that combines fluid delivery with storage for essentials. Whatever your pursuit, the right camping hydration system is here to support it.
- Drink proactively: Start with 0.5L of water before hiking and sip regularly—don’t wait for thirst.
- Use a hydration backpack: Enables hands-free sipping (e.g., Osprey Hydraulics Reservoir).
- Plan around heat: Hike during cooler hours (early morning/evening) and rest in shade midday.
- Snack on electrolytes: Replenish with salty snacks or sports drinks during long hikes.
Yes, electrolytes are essential for hikes exceeding 1 hour. They prevent fatigue, muscle cramps, and imbalances caused by sweating. Use electrolyte tablets or snacks like nuts and dried fruit.
- Material: Opt for stainless steel (e.g., Hydro Flask) for durability and temperature retention.
- Insulation: Choose double-walled, vacuum-sealed designs to keep liquids hot/cold for hours.
- Leak-proof: Ensure a secure lid, especially for backpacking.
- Stainless steel: Vacuum-insulated models (e.g., Yeti Rambler) retain heat best and are nearly indestructible.
- Plastic: Lightweight and budget-friendly, but opt for BPA-free polypropylene to avoid chemical leaching.
- Avoid ceramic: Prone to breaking and less practical for rugged use.
Stainless steel is ideal for travel mugs due to its durability and insulation. Double-walled, vacuum-sealed designs outperform single-wall options and prevent flavour transfer.
- Filters: Use a gravity-fed filter or squeeze filter to remove bacteria/protozoa.
- Boiling: Boil water for 1–3 minutes (longer at high altitudes) to kill pathogens.
- Chemical tablets: Chlorine dioxide tablets are lightweight backups but may leave a taste.
- UV purifiers: Devices like SteriPen destroy microbes but require pre-filtering for sediment.
