The Hydro Carrier

I loved my Arca gear pack and used it all the time on hikes and traveling. It was as great to keep my essentials handy along with my water bottle. Somehow, I managed to lose it on my trip to Alaska and had to get a replacement as soon as I got home. It really helps me keep my hand free and is a comfortable way to carry a drink, phone and other essentials.

I bought this so I would take a thermos to work and on trips more often. I have a variety of Hydro Flasks— including the 32 oz and 2 types of 40 oz thermoses. I got the largest size and it fits the standard 40 oz perfectly, coming up to the neck and cinching securely. It holds the 40 oz trail (blazer?) HydroFlask as well, but this bottle is taller and narrower, so it doesn’t cinch as securely and stands a few inches taller than the carrier. There is no risk of it falling out while carrying it. I will definitely use it with either of these. I have yet to try it on the 32 oz thermos. I’m definitely a fan of the way the carrier is designed with multiple options on where to store my phone and other things I want to pack. It is not bulky or cumbersome. It’s attractive. I’m looking forward to using it tomorrow on my first work trip since receiving it!! One design feature I would appreciate is RFID.

I dropped my 40oz Swig, a birthday present that I had only had five days, and broke the lid so when I saw the Facebook advertisement for this product I asked my daughter to invest in one for me. I have all my cards, ID, lipstick and inhaler in it. I am 82 years of age and use a cane or rollator to walk, so this frees up my hands!! Thanks to whomever designed it!!
