Hydration is an important factor to consider — no matter where you are. At home, it’s easy to reach for your water bottle or glass as needed. But when you’re traveling, commuting, or working out, maintaining adequate hydration takes a bit more work.
Water Bottles for Peak Hydration
Staying hydrated anywhere is much easier when you have a dedicated water bottle on hand. Choosing a long-lasting, refillable water bottle also makes it easier to avoid regularly using single-use plastic that’s harmful to our planet.
Vacuum Sealed Bottles
Vacuum-sealed insulated bottles keep your beverage at a consistent temperature for between 12 and 24 hours. Whether you prefer ice water, cool water, or a hot beverage, your vacuum-sealed bottle’s exterior will remain cool to the touch and condensation free.
Wide Mouth, Standard Mouth, or Straw
Wide-mouth bottles are easier to clean without the assistance of a bottle brush. However, if you’re hydrating on the go, you won’t spill as much when using a standard-mouth bottle. Bottles with integrated straws are convenient for exercising, walking, or driving.
Water Packs to Stay Hydrated Everywhere You Go
If you like to have access to drinking water while keeping your hands free, a water pack is an unobtrusive solution. Water packs, also known as hydration packs, include a flexible water bladder and a long straw with a drinking valve.
Most drinking valves come with an on/off switch so you can securely cut off the water supply. When the valve is set to the on position, just bite down on the mouthpiece for instant water flow.
Select from backpacks designed with an insulated and protected hydration pack pocket, or add a puncture-resistant hydration pack to your traditional backpack.
Portable Water Purification Systems
Safe, clean drinking water isn’t always a foregone conclusion. If you regularly travel to far-flung locations or want the ability to drink from streams and rivers when you’re in the backcountry, we recommend adding a water purification system to your kit. The most common methods for purifying your water supply are UV light, dissolving purification tablets, or filtration systems.
