The Stow is a handy, lightweight soft flask with a spill-proof drinking valve. Great for backpacking, heading to the gym or simple everyday use.
Hydrapak says
Sized right for short trips — and their smaller packs and pockets — or as the base of a squeeze filter, the Stow™ holds its water, then, when empty, rolls up to stash in places other bottles won’t fit. It’s durable, flexible, has a flip-top cap cover to protect the high-flow and spill-proof nozzle, and an integrated bail handle that makes clipping and carrying easy. And, at a weight that’s 50% lighter than most hard bottles, carrying gets even easier.
Our Verdict
Hydrapak's Stow Bottle 1L internal baffle really works and keeps the shape of a flask when full. The flask shape is great for packing in your pack, but might be harder to stow on the outside of your pack or in a bottle pocket. The soft, yet durable materials used in the Hydrapak bottles are great for keeping the weight down but most importantly the packsize is tiny once the bottles are empty. The updated cap replaces the twist lock style and is easy to use with a flip top to protect against dirt and less messing around on the go.
A useful option is the ability to use it with water filters (with a 28mm thread) when you're heading to more remote areas. This saves space by having to take more bottles and makes the Stow that bit more versatile. This 1L version is definitely my favoured size for everyday use through to expeditions.
