Vecto Water Container 28mm
A collapsible water bag designed for backpacking. The wide opening facilitates easy scooping from streams and allows for effective drying between trips.
$24.99
This 2-liter collapsible water container features two openings: a wide slider and a 28mm threaded cap. The wide opening allows for easy scooping from shallow water without awkward angles, and it enables hand access for rinsing.
The 28mm cap is compatible with common backpacking filters such as Sawyer Squeeze, LifeStraw Flex, and Platypus QuickDraw. If you own one of these filters, this container can serve as the "dirty water" side of your filtration setup.
When empty, it rolls up compactly. The TPU material may have a slight odor initially; rinsing and airing it out before the first use is recommended. It is not suitable for hot liquids or freezing conditions.
Why it works
- Wide opening simplifies scooping from streams.
- Rolls up compactly when empty, conserving pack space.
- Compatible with commonly used filters for backpacking.
Who it's for
- Backpackers who own a 28mm-thread water filter.
- Hikers seeking an alternative to narrow-mouth bottles for creek access.
What to know
- Rinse and air out before first use due to initial TPU odor.
- Not designed for hot liquids or freezing temperatures (20°F to 120°F range).
