CamelBak Quick Stow Flask
Best collapsible hydration solution for long distance trail runners.
This collapsible flask is the ultimate antidote to the annoying slosh and bulk of traditional water bottles during long runs. It shrinks as you drink, keeping your gear streamlined, though you’ll sacrifice the rigid structure that makes standard bottles easier to slide back into tight pockets.
