Water Bottles
When hiking, camping or enjoying any other outdoor pursuit, it is important to stay hydrated. The easiest way to ensure you have access to water is by carrying a water bottle. There are many different types of water bottle available, all suited to outdoor activities and are ideal for camping and hiking.
Types of Water Bottles
Considered a leading hydration system, Camelbak offers a range of water bottles such as an insulated bottle that uses a vacuum insulation to keep your drink chilled and refreshing for use during a long hike or activity. If you add ice, you can ensure your drink stays chilled for up to 24 hours. Camelbak also offers purification bottles that can filter natural source water with UV filtration so that you can have safe drinking water.
Nalgene is another popular brand of water bottle. Nalgene creates water bottles that are BPA free for the peace of mind of the consumer. Typically, Nalgene offers a wide mouth bottle which not only makes it easier to add ice cubes and water filters, but it can also make them easier to clean too. The durable material used in construction is designed to be practical and be built to last, regardless of the knocks it may receive when out camping or on a hike.
For a water bottle that is more portable, Trekmates offer foldable water bottles, so you have less weight and space used once you have finished your drink. The water bottle can be folded, rolled up or flattened to make it easier to transport until you next fill it up again. For ease of transportation, the water bottles also come with a carabiner attached so you can clip it onto your hiking clothes, a belt or a backpack.
Bottles can be made out of a number of different materials, each suiting different activities. Plastic is popular for more casual use, but many hikers prefer metal canteen type bottles for their durability.
