Best Hydration Bladders of 2023
Stay hydrated on the go with our round-up of the best hydration reservoirs of the year
Whether we’re hiking, biking, running, or climbing, on-the-go hydration is an essential part of our kit. There’s simply no better way to encourage drinking consistently during activity, which is vital to performance and enjoyment (after bonking one too many times, we’ve certainly learned this the hard way). You can use a water bottle stuffed into a backpack pocket or mounted on a bike frame, and many runners like to drink from soft flasks, but in our opinion, nothing matches the convenience of a hydration reservoir. Below we break down the best hydration bladders of 2023, ranging from ultralight and packable models to fully featured reservoirs and insulated designs. For more, see our comparison table and buying advice below the picks.
