Cnoc Outdoors VECTO 2L Water Container, 28mm Thread, Orange

Product Information

Sure! I know hydration reservoirs aren’t fashionable for ultralight but I just don’t drink enough unless I have ease of access. I go through a lot of water, and I’ve had giardia before so don’t skimp on treatment (I sometimes use chlorox tabs then filter and even in our roof-fed huts, I at the least filter the water). In the pics… The Hydrapak Seeker water bags are just so much better than any other dirty bags I’ve every tried. The rubberized material is super durable while still being light, and these bags in general are just way easier/more comfortable to use as squeeze bags for dirty water. Additionally, the 42mm openings are a great size: big enough to easily pour water into with a water scoop, but compact enough to not be ungainly to deal with.

With all that said, I agree that the CNOC bags are probably the more reasonable solution for most people. No mention of the taste of the H2O from this bag. I do not want to be out in the wilderness with pristine creeks and have plastic taste from my water. I have found many hydration bladders have this problem. I suggest a test of filling the bag and leaving the water in it for a few hours then see if the taste is affected.

Hard to fill.Pretty similar to Sawyer Squeeze, the bottle does not expand when underwater, so there’s not a lot of water going in when you push the bag underwater. Unless you can always find some source of water pouring downwards, you’ll freeze your hands like I did many times using it. True enough in some cases, but not here. You’re probably thinking this is a sponsored post (sad that this is the state of the internet these days) but actually it’s just me writing about my personal experience because I was excited to share it. If that doesn’t make it credible, I don’t know what would! Reply I quite like having only one entry point in my water bags and I want that point to be decently sized. The 42mm openings of the Hydrapak Seeker bags fit the bill. It’s just much easier for me to hold the bag up by the mouth, pour dirty water in with my scoop. Set the scoop down once it’s full, and with that hand just immediately attach the water filter onto it.Attaches to filters with a 28 mm thread, such as the Sawyer Micro, Squeeze or Mini, the LifeStraw Flex, and the HydroBlu Versa Flow

In all honesty, I do think there might be a lot more options that may be even better than the three I’ve listed. I just haven’t tried them all yet. If you want to experiment yourself, just look for any bags or bottles that fit on a 28 mm cap thread, which is a standard thread size for a regular soda or water bottle you can get in any shop.The Vesica is a collapsible, reusable and light water bottle that behaves like a hard bottle for easy drinking on the move. Simply carry 1L of water and stow away when empty. As for the filter end of the Vecto, the plastic threads attach easily to 28mm threaded filters like the Sawyer Squeeze, Mini, and Micro. The 42mm thread version is for the Katadyn BeFree, though this is a bit less noteworthy since Katadyn, unlike Sawyer, already offers a decent gravity setup.

I think CNOC may be trying to fix this, but I heard it was an issue. The Recon is a versatile and practical drinks bottle that works well for outdoor adventures, gym sessions and everyday use. The innovative twist cap is the headline feature with this bottle.

A cord attachment. It allows you to tie it up in a rolled position and keep it tight in your storage.

Great compatibility with Sawyer Squeeze.Tested with a lot of pressure and not a single drop seemed to get through any other part than the filter itself. This means it’s safer as you know no dirty water mixed in with your filtered water.
