CNOC Outdoors HydriamX 500ml Collapsible Flask – 28mm

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

The HydriamX 500ml is a commendable choice for those seeking a lightweight, packable, and resilient water bottle.

CNOC Outdoors says: 

The HydriamX is a soft, collapsible, reusable drinking flask made in our eXtra durable, thicker TPU.

Like the VectoX, the HydriamX is capable of holding hot liquids, making it the perfect vessel for your warm beverage of choice. Whether it holds your favorite Après-ski cocktail, gets tucked into your sleeping bag as a hot water bottle, or just gives you extra durability, the HydriamX is the extra tough, ultralight flask you’ve been looking for.

The HydriamX comes in three different volume sizes, allowing you to fully customize your set up to your needs. All three sizes feature a tapered design that allows them to easily slide into the pocket of a running vest. The back includes markings for measuring out liquids while cooking or mixing your favorite camp cocktail.

Using the same universal 28mm thread as the Vecto, the Hydriam is compatible with filters like the Sawyer or the Platypus QuickDraw, allowing for filtering on the go during long runs or fastpacking trips.

Our Verdict

The CNOC Outdoors HydriamX 500ml Collapsible Flask is a versatile and durable solution for trail runners who wish to run with as little weight as possible. Crafted from robust TPU, it withstands hot and cold liquids, making it suitable for various drinks. However, the flask’s 500ml capacity may be too small for anything other than a quick drink. Its collapsible design allows it to roll up compactly when empty, saving valuable pack space.

The flask’s tapered shape comfortably fits into running vest pockets. Its 28mm threaded opening is compatible with popular water filters like the Sawyer Squeeze, facilitating on-the-go filtration. At just 29 grams, it adds minimal weight to your kit.
