Very practical flask
The semi-rigid flask was designed for leisure mountain bike rides up to 1.5 hours, and takes inspiration from a water bottle.
It has a screw cap and is marked so you can easily fill it to the desired level, up to 1L of water.
Unlike standard water bladders (thermobonded), the walls are separated and help any remaining water drain (from top to bottom) out at the end.
This means no water remaining in the flask, so no odours.
GETTING GOOD FLOW
Before leaving, squeeze the air out after filling so as to increase the flow rate of your drink.
Just turn the flask upside down, direct the air bubbles towards the tube opening and suck them out.
The mouthpiece is lockable (rotates 180°) to prevent leaks when not in use. It won't drip, even when in the open position. To drink, gently bite the mouthpiece and suck in!
CARRY ALL YOUR THINGS
Access the main compartment from the top. The semi-rigid flask hangs upside down on a hook so it doesn't drop to the bottom of the bag.
You can store your small objects (papers, keys, phone, snack bar,s and tissues) in the secure front pocket.
The reflective strip on the front of the bag shows where the pocket is.An outside loop allows you to attach your glasses when on an outing if need be.
CARE TIPS
To improve the robustness of your bag, we recommend waterproofing it. Even though the fabric is already water-repellent, extra waterproofing will stop mud getting caked onto it.
Wash your flask in clean water 3 times before you first use it. If your flask has a taste of plastic, you should: 1- wash it with vinegar and bicarbonate of soda
2- place it empty in the freezer
3- dry it fully before putting it away
To help you clean the hose, a brush is available
