I Discovered a Water Bottle with a Hose! HardSide Hydration Sig Wig Nalg...


A Water Bottle with a Hose?

If you spend enough time in the outdoors around other backpackers and campers, you will come across someone who is using a Nalgene Water Bottle. 

Nalgene makes a number of different products with the most popular being the Wide Mouth Bottle like the one that you will see in this video.

What makes these so popular?

Firsts off, the quality is excellent, they are extremely durable, lightweight, low cost, come in a ton of different colors and so on.

Now that we have focused on what a Nalgene is, lets discuss what the Sig Wig is;

The Swig Wig is a Nalgene bottle based kit but it adds a hose kit so that one can use a Nalgene bottle virtually the same way as a hydration bladder.

HardSide Hydration Sig Wig Nalgene Water Bottle with Hose System

What it is : If you spend enough time in the outdoors around other backpackers and campers, you will eventually come across someone who is using a Nalgene Water Bottle. 

The company makes a number of different products with the most popular being the Wide Mouth Bottle like the one that you see here.

Review Pros :
  • Great quality Nalgene bottle.
  • Large capacity Nalgene.
  • You have the capability of a bottle with the ease of access of a bladder - in other words, you have the hose and the ability to get water quickly without having to get the bottle out of your pack.
  • Easy to clean
  • Easy to refill
  • Easy to add water treatment drops
  • You can easily add flavor to your bottle and can as I mentioned already, easily clean it.  
  • Having the ability to drink water without getting out the bottle is a huge plus - this translate to the user consuming more water while out on the trail which is a good thing in most situations. 
  • Cost : $30 isn’t bad for this system; Honestly a higher price wouldn’t surprise me at all. In general, a 48oz Nalgene runs around $13, a hydration hose runs around $15…
  • This system can be used with filtration devices very easily.
  • If you need to get water out of your bottle, you can do so easily and quickly which isn’t the case with a bladder.
  • You can easily change out the hose and bit valve if you like. 
  • Straw can be shortened so that this system can be used with smaller Nalgene bottles.
  • Lifetime guarantee 

Review Cons : 

  • No instructions were included with the system; while not difficult to figure out if you have ever used a hydration bladder but if you haven’t done so, you may have to go looking for some instruction on how to put the components together. 
  • Sucking water through a hose kind of sucks - it is what it is.  I rather drink from a bottle and get the quantity that I want quickly.
  • Bite valve isn’t my favorite.
