UOG Top Pick - The collapsible wide-mouth water-carrying bladder is a more robust and durable version of the market-leading Vecto.
CNOC Outdoors says:
The VectoX is our true and tested Vecto, but eXtra: more durable, thicker and tougher, for adventurers who demand more from their gear.
The VectoX is light, extra durable and easy to handle. It is easy to fill with just a couple of scoops, carry to a dry camp or filter on the spot with a 42mm compatible filter. Leave more time to really enjoy your hike or just time at camp with a quick and simple filtering system.
Our Verdict
The VectoX is the enhanced and durable version of the acclaimed Vecto water-carrying kit. It boasts a large open mouth, making water collection a breeze compared to traditional bottles or bladders. Its sturdy fastening clip ensures a secure seal, eliminating concerns about leaks.
The 42mm neck is ideal for use with the Katadyn BeFree Water Filter, offering a seamless filtration experience. When not in use, the VectoX packs down incredibly small for easy storage. Additionally, the large mouth simplifies cleaning, setting it apart from other hydration bags.
