Hydration Packs, Bottles & Bladders

Choosing Hydration Gear

Runners and hikers dehydrate faster than they realize in the cold, because you don't feel as thirsty even as you keep sweating, which makes carrying water a matter of performance and safety, not just comfort. The main choice is how you'd rather carry it: a hands-free hydration vest or bladder for running and long efforts, or a bottle and waist pack for shorter outings. In winter, insulation matters too, since an insulated bladder or bottle keeps water from freezing on cold days.

Vests and bladders for the long haul

Nathan's Pinnacle and Vapor hydration vests and 1.5 to 2 liter bladders carry water hands-free for running and long hikes, distributing weight comfortably. They're the choice when you'll be out for hours.

Bottles and belts for short trips

The waist packs, belts, and Snow Peak insulated bottles suit shorter runs and day hikes where a full vest is more than you need. Insulated options also keep drinks from freezing in winter.

Layer for cold-weather efforts

Cold-weather activity pairs hydration with warmth. Keep your hands warm on winter runs with our heated gloves, and layer with our heated base layers.
