Lightweight solution for carrying large volumes of water to camp, or taking more water on the trail than you would usually need.
Hydrapak says
Built for long days on the trail, the lightweight Pioneer is the ideal medium to large capacity water storage and delivery system for backcountry group adventures. Innovative two piece construction features a removable water storage reservoir and an abrasion resistant outer sleeve. The reservoir’s wide opening is quick to fill and closes tight with a slide-seal top. Nylon drawstring cords make it easy to hang or carry and the new dispensing tap is ideal for filling bottles and washing cookware at camp. Lightweight and packable, it folds down small into its outer shell, an integrated storage pocket stores the included 28 mm filter adapter when not in use.
Our Verdict
Perfect for a group of people transporting water from the source back to camp to filter. The pioneer is a reservoir, which has a wide slidable fastening roll-top mouth, which makes it incredibly easy to fill from a stream, and an abrasion-resistant outer sleeve, which can be used to hang up the reservoir for use with a gravity filter.
I'm a big fan of wide mouth openings like this as it makes them very easy not just to clean, but also to dry out.
