A Better Bladder Savvy design makes filling, packing, refilling, and drying as easy as sipping. MAZAMA DESIGNS INTAKE HYDRATION RESERVOIR This spring, Mazama is introducing the Intake line-its most advanced reservoirs, which promise to offer taste-free water and easy maintenance features in a universal-fit shape. The self-expansion design helps with filling and drying the reservoir, along with a userfriendly midline quick-connect drink-tube connection. The large-bore drink tube and one-of-a kind bite valve with free-flow mode offer a satisfyingly high flow rate, which allows for chugging or sipping. It's available in four models: 2-liter and 3-liter with full-length handle, the 2L LT for the minimalist, and an insulated 2-liter version for colder ventures. | $28-$38 | mazamadesigns.com Available: Now | Contact: matt@mazamadesigns.com Words by Cameron Martindell Photograph by Andrew Kornylak April 2021 / OUTDOOR RETAILER 27http://www.mazamadesigns.com
