Hydrapak Pioneer 10L
Ten liters of water for three hundred and sixty grams of container. The ratio is clear: the 10L Pioneer weighs less than 4% of what it carries.
What ten liters allows
This is for base camp rather than hiking: you fill it up once at the source, and the group drinks, cooks, and washes without having to go back. To carry water on your person, the 6L model in our catalog is more reasonable.
The ripstop shell
Abrasion-resistant ripstop nylon, which protects the flexible film from friction against the ground and prevents tears from spreading. This is the part that determines the lifespan of a camp reservoir.
Filling
Redesigned and widened Slide-Seal opening, for quick filling and hand cleaning.
The cap, and what it accepts
Compatible with 28 mm water filters - the narrow thread, the kind used for screw-on filters. Not to be confused with the 63 mm on the 8L Expedition.
The format
When empty, it flattens and rolls up, whereas a ten-liter jerrycan remains bulky until you get home.
Capacity 10,000 ml. Materials: elastic thermoplastic polyurethane, polypropylene, and nylon.
