Hunter Pack

Hunting can be thirsty work, and Timber Hawk has stepped up with the Spike Pack, a storage and Hydrapak Bladder for those heating out in the woods during hunting season. It is slim and form-fitting, allowing wearers to crawl through bramble and brush without getting snagged, and it also features an easy to clean bladder with insulated hose to keep it from freezing in cold weather.

The Spike Pack also offers plenty of storage, including a compartment for medium-sized gear, and a zippered mesh pocket, while the main compartment will allow for wearers to store an extra layer of clothing. So that hunters aren’t without their optics, the Timber Hawk Spike Pack even includes a Hawkeye Bino System so there is need for an additional shoulder harness.

H2bike System Water Bottle Meets Bladder System

There are those that love hydration packs but others dislike the idea of wearing a backpack filled with water. The Israeli company BlueDesert seems to have a solution – it basically turns a water bottle into a hydration pack that allows for sipping of water while on the go but without the need to war a bladder pack on the back.

The solution is fairly simple. The SmarTube (as it is called) is basically a coiled hose that connects to the bottle and acts as a straw for the rider. It also features what the company calls the SpiralTube, which mounts to the handlebars and automatically spoils the hose when it is released.

Go With the JetFlow

Hydration packs are a great way to bring along some water. You can wear these on your back so as to be less encumbered. The downside is that the bladders can get nasty over time. You can’t really “clean” them as easily as a water bottle.

So what if you could use water bottles in a hydration system? Well, that’s the idea behind the JetFlow, which basically is a nifty piece of plastic or aluminum hardware that transforms water bottles into bladders. It can work with traditional reusable bicycle or hiking water bottles or even with store bought water bottles. Just screw the bottle into the manifold and it works just like a traditional bladder-based hydration system. Continue reading Go With the JetFlow

Hydromax – The End of the Water Boy?

We may soon mark the end of the end of the era in football. Over the years there have been many changes to the game, the introduction of helmets and pads, the change of the grid field and even rules in scoring. But soon, the once proud water boy maybe out of a job thanks to a new wearable water supply system.

In truth, this could actually solve an increasingly worrisome problem. Dehydration remains an issue for many players, especially in southern states and on those sunny and warm fall days. The Hydromax system could just be the key to keeping athletes hydrated for those times when water remains on the sidelines – so close and yet so very far away.
