UOG TOP PICK: Light, squeezable and filter-friendly, the CNOC Outdoors ThruBottle 700 is a more compact version of the popular Thrubottle 1000. It is a practical reusable bottle for trail hydration and water treatment. A top pick for ultralight backpacking.
CNOC Outdoors says:
Meet the ThruBottle - an ultralight bottle with a 28mm neck that is designed to be reused.
The ThruBottle is the result of multiple years of design, testing, and refinement. The final product is a patent-pending, one liter bottle that’s lightweight, slim, and safe to use over the course of a long hike. Made of safe-to-reuse HDPE, the ThruBottle is a squeezable hard sided bottle that can be used to filter dirty water in the backcountry. Designed with ultralight backpackers in mind, it's constructed from safe, durable materials intended for long-term use - even through long periods of sun exposure and rough conditions.
The ThruBottle utilizes the same universal thread as the Vecto, ensuring its 28mm neck will be compatible with a wide range of 28mm filters. It comes in a 1L and 700ml size, allowing folks to use the size that works best for them.
Our Verdict
The updated ThruBottle improves on an already strong design in a few meaningful ways. At just 56g and 700ml capacity, it is a more compact version of the 1 litre, while retaining the same slim profile that fits neatly into pack side pockets. The softer body is the standout upgrade, making it much easier to use with filters such as the Sawyer Squeeze and Platypus QuickDraw, while still feeling durable enough for long-term use.
The embossed measurement markings are another welcome improvement. They're easier to read, won't wear away over time, and make it simple to judge remaining water or measure the correct amount for dehydrated meals. I also continue to appreciate the neutral taste and universal 28mm compatibility.
The bottle remains quite tall, so refilling under low taps can still be awkward. Aside from that, this update improves almost every aspect of the original without changing what made it so useful in the first place.
