Water pouch - Hydration
Discover our selection of water pouches for optimal hydration
The water pouch, an exceptional accessory for your performance
Alpinstore offers you a wide choice of water pouches. But before you buy one, we think it's important to understand how it's used. What is the real purpose of a water pouch? We tell you more...
The purpose of a water pouch
A water pouch is a bag that can hold a certain volume of water, which can be drunk through a hose or pipette. It can easily be carried in a backpack, and often has a compartment specially designed for it. As mentioned above, its contents are accessible via a mouthpiece that you simply place in your mouth.
It's a proven fact that sportsmen and women with a CamelBak or Osprey drink more regularly than those who simply have a water bottle. In fact, this accessory lets you drink without stopping, with capacities ranging from 1L to 3L. Look no further: Alpinstore offers a full range of Hydrapak pouches on its website!
But how do you choose the right water bag?
It all depends on your riding style and the length of your outings. In fact, water capacity is the most important criterion, but it should be chosen according to your habits. If you do short outings, then a 1.5L tank will suffice. On the other hand, you'll need a larger tank for half-day or full-day hikes.
Water pouches come in different shapes. While most models have a vertical, elongated shape, like the Ultimate Direction backpack pockets, there are also some with a specific shape that lets you press it against your lumbar vertebrae.
And after use?
Initially, you should avoid using any liquid other than water, to avoid any traces or tastes the next time you use it.
Once you've completed your outing, it's time to clean your pouch. We know this isn't the most fun part, but it's a very important step for the product's lifespan.
Once emptied, simply clean and rinse several times, then leave to dry thoroughly. Finally, place your pouch in the fridge until you're ready to use it again, to avoid bacterial growth.
