Scoop and drink for safe, clean hydration

That gurgling mountain stream can look cool and refreshing, especially when you’ve worked up a thirst on the trail. But drinking dirty or contaminated water is a surefire way to ruin an adventure – and it’s not always easy to tell which water sources are safe. For peace of mind, screw the DayCap on to your favourite water bottle. It turns almost any wide-mouth bottle (Nalgene, Hydro Flask or YETI) into an effortless scoop-and-drink water filter. Hollow-fibre technology delivers fast-flowing 0.2-micron filtration, eliminating bugs and other nasties. Fast, safe and incredibly easy to use, its the easiest way to ensure safe, fuss-free hydration in the great outdoors.

When it comes to doing anything active in the great outdoors, from trail running to backpacking, thirst is one of the biggest enemies. Without adequate hydration to fuel your body, you can’t perform at your best. And not only that – if you’re thirsty, you’re dehydrated. In the worst-case scenarios, that can become a life-threatening problem.

That’s why US brand Platypus made it their mission to offer the finest, adventure-ready hydration and water filtration products on the planet. They’ve now been at it for over 20 years, fine-tuning their designs to develop highly effective, durable and taste-free bottles, bladders and filters. They even have their own certified, world-class water laboratory, which enables them to research, develop and test innovative technologies for a variety of end uses, from town to trail.

It seems that when water geeks, lab technicians, researchers, designers, directors and worker bees come together, with a shared love for outdoor adventure, the result is H2awesome.
