Walk About - January 2008
“Tired of searching in your fanny pack for your gel and then struggling to open the package, storing the empty wrapper, and finally washing it all down with water? Well all of those steps just got a lot easier with the Gel-Bot by Hydrapak. Gel-Bot is a water bottle with an integrated gel flask. Using patented Energy-Core technology, Gel-Bot allows consumption of an energy gel or water from one bottle. Gel-Bot is easy to use while out power walking, Nordic walking, or hiking on the trails. Just squeeze the bottle with the valve pushed in to get the energy gel or pull the valve out and squeeze to get plain water; it looks and stores just like a regular water bottle.
The SoftFlask is a gel flask designed for optimal performance and is made of medical-grade urethane. It is soft and flexible which allows you to squeeze out every drop of gel and unlike other gel flasks SoftFlasks work equally well filled with one serving of gel or six. It cleans up with soapy water and is ready for the next trek.”
