Product Description
You grab your vest, load up your flasks, and two miles in one is bouncing, sloshing, or — worst case — leaking down your chest. Bad gear kills your rhythm. Here's what most athletes don't realize: the flask itself is the problem, not just how you packed it.
This is the exact soft flask trusted by trail runners and ultra-racers who need their gear to disappear into their kit — not fight against it.
Pinch-Welded Base That Actually Fits The tapered, pinch-welded bottom slides cleanly into virtually any vest, belt, or pack pocket. No wrestling, no awkward bulk — it locks in place and stays there.
SpeedFill Cap for Zero-Fuss Refills One thumb pops it open at the aid station. One click snaps it shut. You're back running before the volunteer has time to ask your number. It handles water, electrolyte drinks, and liquid fuels without skipping a beat.
Compressible Design That Eliminates Slosh As you drink, the flask collapses down around the remaining liquid. That means no annoying water movement bouncing against your chest — and a flask that folds flat and stuffs into a pocket when it's empty.
The flask is built from soft, flexible TPU — a durable material that bends and conforms to the shape of your pocket rather than fighting it. The self-sealing silicone bite valve delivers a high flow of liquid and then auto-closes so you never deal with drips mid-stride. At just 46 grams (1.6 oz), you'll genuinely forget it's there.
Fill it: Pop the SpeedFill cap with one hand, fill with water or your preferred fuel mix, and snap it shut. Done in seconds. Drink it: Bite the valve and squeeze. High flow means you're not sucking hard to get hydration when you need it. Pro tip: Load your calories in one flask and plain water in the other — the compressible design means both will collapse cleanly as you consume them, keeping weight balanced on your vest.
Trail runners and ultra-distance athletes rely on this flask specifically because it fits the widest range of vests on the market — from Salomon to Nathan to Ultimate Direction — without modification. Runners report zero slosh and seamless single-handed refills at aid stations, even mid-race.
This isn't just another soft flask. This is the hydration setup that gets out of your way and lets you run.
