Hydrapak
started with the belief that there is a better way to hydrate. Hydrapak
first started with their Reversible
Reservoir. It was, and continues to
be) the only fully reversible reservoir on the market, which makes cleaning and
drying it a breeze. Since then, Hydrapak has been working to create better
hydration solutions for performance-driven people and brands. For nearly two decades, they have been
pushing the boundaries of hydration to create rugged, safe, and reliable
products. Hydrapak's
products and technology are used in products from Nathan Sports, The North
Face, Ultimate Direction and more. 
One of the innovative products that Hydrapak has come up with is the SoftFlask. It is a fully collapsible sports bottle that
can be used for running, bicycle riding, skiing, or any other activity where
you might need to hydrate. It can be
easily stashed in a bike jersey pocket, ski jacket, running vest, or you can
just hold it while you are out on a run.
The SoftFlask comes in many sizes
from 150 ml to 750 ml. The prices range
from $12.99 for the 150 ml version
to $20.99 for the 750
ml version. They come in several
different colors, depending on the size you want. I tested the SoftFlask 500ml
in orange, but it also comes in white or smoke (grey) as well.
The SoftFlask 500ml
comes with a comfortable finger loop to hold on to or clip to your pack once
there’s no more water left. It collapses
as you drink, which reduces sloshing and the overall weight you are
carrying. It collapse down so small that
you can fit it in the palm of your hand.
The 42mm sport cap with a silicone bite
valve and dust cover is great. You can
twist the cap to lock it and avoid accidental spills. You can even squeeze the SoftFlask and no water will
come out unless you bite on the valve.
This thing is so durable that you can stand on it without it bursting
(check out the video at about 35 seconds).
The dust cap will keep the bite valve clean, especially on dusty trail
runs.
You can freeze your SoftFlask or fill it with warm
water. It is 100% BPA and PVC free and
comes with a No-Leak Guarantee. Hydrapak’s products are built to last, even in
the harshest environments. They stand
behind everything that they make. Check
this out though. If doesn’t matter where
you get your product (if you got some SoftFlasks with an Ultimate
Direction Vest, like the TO Race Vest 3.0)
they guarantee it. If for any reason,
you are not satisfied with your Hydrapak
product, just email or call them and they will make it right. *
Pros:
Decent price, starting at $12.99
Very light weight
Leak-proof
Collapses as you drink for storage and
to reduce sloshing
Extremely durable

Hydrapak
continues to be an innovative leader in the hydration industry. Many of their products and design are used in
not only their own products, but in some of the largest names in the hydration
industry. I was extremely impressed with
the SoftFlask
500ml that was sent to me by Hydrapak as
well as the ones that came with the Ultimate Direction TO
Race Vest that I tested. The price
is great and I am utterly amazed by the fact that someone can stand on it
without it breaking (as shown in the video).
This is a great product and I definitely recommend it. You can pick yours up at the Hydrapak website,
online, or at a store near you (click
here for locations). Get yours today
and be prepared to be amazed.
