As summer approaches, camping sites will begin springing up to life across the country. And while nothing beats enjoying the great outdoors, it can often be a hassle to find clean, running water, especially if you’re somewhere rural.
That’s where HydraPak’s new Flux+ bottle comes in. Where the original Flux series debuted a lightweight water bottle that collapses down to fit in a pocket when on the go, the new version comes with a filter top to clean water from natural sources.
Now, the portable water carrier, which can fit over 50 ounces of beverage, can be a source of fresh, clean water even when trekkers are far from a water cooler—a feature that could be potentially life-saving for those who love an adventure.
The firm has expanded its filtration line to include larger containers and tops that can work with a variety of its existing bottles. Users can operate the system by squeezing the bottle to drink directly or pouring it into a separate container.
According to HydraPak, its filter is so effective it can get rid of 99.9999% of waterborne bacteria and 99.999% of parasitic cysts and microplastics that may find their way into the water.
Flux™+ 1.5L bottle retails for US$55 online, and it can be completely rolled up when empty to save space.
