HydraPak will sunset its Polar Bottle product line and relaunch newly designed Breakaway filtered squeeze bottles under the HydraPak brand.
The first squeeze bottle in its cycling collection, the Breakaway+, includes HydraPak’s lightweight, integrated filter technology. This creates a safe, efficient hydration solution for cross-country cyclists and adventurers. The cage-compatible bottle quickly removes waterborne bacteria and microplastics with a hollow fiber filter. outdoor enthusiasts can create potable water anywhere and reduce the amount of water they carry.
“The launch of our Breakaway+ filtered squeeze bottle rounds out our filtration offerings, and gives cyclists and hikers the ability to extend their adventures with easy access to drinking water,” said HydraPak President & CEO Matt Lyon. “We have been focused on redesigning our product offering, (while) improving and innovating on Polar Bottle’s patented technology. The goal is to deliver new, high-quality hydration solutions synonymous with the HydraPak brand.”
How Does it Work?
Packaged in a lightweight, single-wall design, the Breakaway+ filters fresh water at a rate of >1L per minute. Potable water is delivered quickly with a simple squeeze, forcing water through the filter. The lightweight filter removes common waterborne bacteria, such as E.coli (99.9999%), parasitic cysts (99.999%), and microplastics (99.999%) greater than or equal to 3.0 microns in size.
A polypropylene build gives the Breakaway+ has a soft hand feel with increased squeezability and a glossy, transparent finish.
The Breakaway+ features a unique twist cap design that allows easy drinking via the soft, high-flow nozzle. The cap twists closed for a leak-proof seal. The bottle also comes with a Muckguard cover that protects the nozzle from dust, mud or debris. The Breakaway bottle series fits securely in a variety of bottle cages. The new Breakaway Filter Cap will thread easily onto all sizes of HydraPak Breakaway and Polar Bottles produced after 2007.
The Breakaway+ will be sold in two sizes: 30oz/880ml ($48 MSRP) and 20oz/600ml ($46 MSRP). The Breakaway+ is available on Hydrapak.com. HydraPak will reveal additional bottles at Unbound Gravel, one of the premier gravel races in the world, on May 31, 2024.
