Strapped to kayak or SUP, this specialist hydration pack puts a paddler’s best interests on deck. Built around the much-lauded Antidote reservoir, the insulated tube cover helps keep drinking water cold. A stay-put bite valve cover means lake, river or ocean water is kept at bay even when paddling in chop. Testers valued the streamlined profile of Cortez that still accommodated stowage of a light windshell under the top bungee. Dual grip strips kept Cortez from drifting but didn’t attract dirt, grime or sand. For kayak and SUP owners, this 3L package delivers critical hydration in a well-conceived, durable module that confirms the brand’s belief in the potable and portable – on land as well as sea.
