Hardside Hydration Wide Mouth Nalgene Swig Rig

easy to set up
easy to drink from
works well, would buy again
hoping to get the water filter bit that goes with it saves me buying a life straw

Fits the nagalene bottle, easy to install and use. Can easily see how much water you have drunk. Much better than a bladder

I find hydration bladders cumbersome to use out in the field. You never know how much is left, refilling can be a pain and getting them back into a fully packed bag can be annoying. After a trip cleaning and drying just seems more effort then needed.

I like bottles but felt I didn't drink as much. But the Swig Rig changed this! Pricey but so worth it. Excellent construction and turns my Nalgene bottles into easy to use, clean and fill hydration system.

Only 'complaints' is the valve flow is on the slower side but not bad. Just have to remember to turn on as its a twist on/off and its easy to twist to off when putting it back into the valve protector.

When trimming the straw, make sure it touches the bottom of the bottle. I had a gap of around 3mm and it means the last bit of water doesn't get sucked up. My fault, I measured with my eye when I should have actually got the tape!

Hydration for day hikes has always been a challenge for us. Hardside Hydration products proved perfect and your speedy delivery enabled us to add a day hike to Mount Boronia (Grampian National Park) to our two day Grampians Peaks Trail (GPT) hike.

Great product! Super useful instead of using a bladder but with the convince of staying hydrated on the go.

Only small thing is you need to be careful about the attachment to the lid - it did leak a little when the bottle wasn't upright - but otherwise worked perfectly.
