Evernew 水袋

Took this on a week-long trek and the tapered body actually stands up on its own when full, which made filling from streams way less annoying. The built-in shock cord keeps it rolled tight in my pack, and no plastic taste after three days of use.

The antibacterial treatment was the detail that sold me, and after a few warm days of use there’s no lingering smell at all. I also love how the shock cord keeps it rolled up tight in my pack—takes up barely any room until I need it.

Took these on a weekend hike and the shock cord cinching them down to nothing is genuinely clever—they barely took up space in my pack. The textured cap is a nice touch too, easy to grip even with wet hands. Only wish the tapered shape were a bit sturdier when half-full; it leans a little, but that'
