Cnoc Outdoors VECTO 2L Water Container, 28mm Thread, Orange

Product Information

I quite like having only one entry point in my water bags and I want that point to be decently sized. The 42mm openings of the Hydrapak Seeker bags fit the bill. It’s just much easier for me to hold the bag up by the mouth, pour dirty water in with my scoop. Set the scoop down once it’s full, and with that hand just immediately attach the water filter onto it. If you use a Sawyer water filter, the Vecto is a MUCH better replacement for the squeeze pouches it came with. Please note: TPU is a porous material and so is not completely smell free after production, please clean and air prior to use The Ultra Flexi 500ml Flask is a compact, lightweight and BPA free water bottle with a soft bite valve, Ideal for trail running.

Also, the alternate idea of keeping a Sawyer Squeeze permanently attached to the bottom of a CNOC bag as you full it up with dirty water from the zip side seems like a perfect scenario for dripping dirty water onto the outlet mouthpiece of the Squeeze. That’s a recipe made in heaven for contamination. The plastic adapter piece weighs only 0.55 oz and perfectly mates a Sawyer Squeeze with a Hydrapak Seeker bag. I haven’t tested this out in the field yet, but my kitchen tests indicate that the seal is quite watertight and easily holds up to the pressure of filtering just like it would with the BeFree. I am cautiously optimistic that this might serve as my new setup, marrying the best of both worlds for me.If you want to use the Vecto as part of a gravity filter setup (and trust me, you do) the sliding plastic clamp makes it easy to attach a loop of cord for hanging. Instead of sitting there squeezing water from a pouch, you can simply hang the Vecto from a tree branch (or doorknob, bike handlebars, hiking pole tripod, etc) and let gravity do the work. TORQ are experts in hydration, use these drink sachets and cool bottle to rehydrate in the most effective way.

Cnoc Outdoors VECTO 2L Water Container, 28mm Thread, Orange

If you’re looking for an ultralight gravity filter setup, and especially a better squeeze bag for your Sawyer water filter, I highly recommend the CNOC Vecto and VectoX. The designers put a ton of careful thought into the design, which means I don’t have to put much thought into filtering my drinking water at the end of a long day on the trail. Some leakage from the cap. In my experience and that of other users who shared this in various forums, unless you tie the cap very tightly, you might see some leakage from that part. Obviously, the tighter you twist on the cap or the filter, the bigger the chances to damage the thread. The Life Venture Tritan is a robust, lightweight and impact-resistant drinking bottle which makes retaining liquids on the move easy and enjoyable. A cord attachment. It allows you to tie it up in a rolled position and keep it tight in your storage.In all honesty, I do think there might be a lot more options that may be even better than the three I’ve listed. I just haven’t tried them all yet. If you want to experiment yourself, just look for any bags or bottles that fit on a 28 mm cap thread, which is a standard thread size for a regular soda or water bottle you can get in any shop. NB. The new hydrapak flux is, in my use thus far, a better squeeze bottle for filtration than a seeker – the more rounded profile seems less prone to microleaks than the seekers’ sharper angles. It’s also far easier to fill at small streams as it keeps its shape better.

Embracing The Call Of The Wild Grill: Tips And Techniques On How To Barbecue In Nature’s PlaygroundThe CNOC Vecto is a “dirty bag” that turns Sawyer Squeeze / Mini / Micro, Katadyn BeFree, and other squeeze-style hollow fiber water filters into hands-free gravity filters. The Vesica is a collapsible, reusable and light water bottle that behaves like a hard bottle for easy drinking on the move. Simply carry 1L of water and stow away when empty. So I was left with a strong preference for the Sawyer Squeeze and the Hydrapak Seeker bags… two things that are inherently incompatible due to different opening sizes. The Sawyer Squeeze accepts a 28mm bottle/bag while the Hydrapak Seeker’s opening is 42mm, as mentioned above. I searched far and wide on the internet and counldn’t find any 42mm to 28mm adapters. [Sigh]

I don’t use it this way, but you can also use a second Vecto as a clean water bag. This setup would imitate a Platypus GravityWorks filter, great for sharing a water filter among a group or filtering lots of water for use around camp. CNOC also offers an interesting collapsible bottle called the Vesica that’s worth a look for this purpose. Design for Filtering Water The Gear Tie Loopable Twist Tie allows you to loop, cinch, twist, and store cords, cables, and other smaller items for convenient storage and access

Sure! I know hydration reservoirs aren’t fashionable for ultralight but I just don’t drink enough unless I have ease of access. I go through a lot of water, and I’ve had giardia before so don’t skimp on treatment (I sometimes use chlorox tabs then filter and even in our roof-fed huts, I at the least filter the water). In the pics… The classic large opening on the wide mouth bottles easily accommodates ice cubes, fits most water purifiers and filters and makes hand-washing a breeze. This sustain version uses 50% recycled materials for a more sustainable approach. Using the same universal 28mm thread as the Vecto, the Vesica can be used as a dirty water bottle for filters like Sawyer or HydroBlu. If you like to filter into a container for easy drinking, use the Vesica with the Vecto to create a fast, light and easy to use filtering system. Please note: TPU is a porous material and so is not completely smell free after production, please clean and air prior to use. Colour Great compatibility with Sawyer Squeeze.Tested with a lot of pressure and not a single drop seemed to get through any other part than the filter itself. This means it’s safer as you know no dirty water mixed in with your filtered water.
