For Spring 2019, HydraPak is launching activity-specific hydration systems with added high-performance features, improved design, and a first-to-market insulated reservoir – IsoBound Technology – which provides 15% more insulation from outside temperatures. Built for performance, the re-designed reservoir system is engineered to be more reliable, simpler to use, and provide 20% more flow without added weight, additional parts or compromising the simplicity of the slide closure, the wide fill top design, or the reversibility of the reservoir.
Updated performance features include:
- Updated patented Slider Top has a smoother profile to prevent chaffing and new grip feature for leverage when sliding open/closed
- New Dual FlexGrip technology increases the flexibility of opening and makes it easier to fill, carry, and access in a pack
- Plug-N-Play Connector re-engineered for a more minimal profile – 1/3 slimmer – flush edge button features a fully shrouded clip to prevent accidental activation
- Blaster Bite Valve redesigned with a taller, more ergonomic, twist on/off bar for a smooth rotation, and a reduced profile Dust Cover offers less bulk
- Hose barb technology re-engineered to allow for 20% faster flow rate
The activity-specific design updates to the Velocity 1.5L ($32), Shape-Shift 2L/3L ($36/$38), and Force 2L/3L ($40/$43) reservoirs provide a more intuitive user experience for quick access, rapid refills, and a lightweight fit. In addition, HydraPak launches its new Iso-Bound insulation technology in the Velocity 1.5L IT ($38) reservoir designed for trail running and fast & light activities.
HydraPak IsoBound is the first insulated reservoir on the market and prevents latent heat (or more specifically, condensational warming) keeping water at an ideal temperature longer. The double-wall construction and open cell foam technology create a barrier around the reservoir providing 15% more insulation from outside temperatures, a better grip, and more comfortable carrying experience. HydraPak Iso-Bound slows the heat transfer from the user to the hydration, making it an ideal solution for a wide range of outdoor activities.
The IsoBound technology not enough to keep something ultracold, but maybe it will help hold the chill a tad longer on a warm day.
