Easy, simple moisture
Bottle holder
Extra-
Bottle holders have become a staple accessory for backpacks. There are a wide variety of bottle holders on the market today, but OGAWAND is particular about:
- Easy to put on and take off (move) on the field
-Easy to insert and remove bottles with one hand
Lightweight and not easily shaken
Simply put, I think it's important to have these three points firmly in mind. In addition, the number of colors to choose from has increased significantly since June 2024. You can match them to your backpack or use them as an accent color, which will make hiking even more fun.
To walk lightly
There have been many so-called "bottle holders" in various shapes and specifications on the market for some time. Just by looking at the people passing by on a hike, you can see that there are many different tastes and ways of attaching them, regardless of age or gender, and that the demand is quite high. With the popularity of trail running, the convenience of the bottle holder on the front of the shoulder harness has also been recognized, so it is only natural that people would want to use it for regular mountain climbing as well. And I strongly feel that the biggest factor of all is the existence and popularity of light and convenient "plastic bottles" that are "easy to obtain," "lightweight containers," "can be drunk as is, and can be corked (capped)," and that this is the reason why more and more hikers are desperate for "bottle holders."
But what about once you're actually on the field?
The benefits of having a bottle holder (drink bottle) in an easy-to-reach location (close to the body) are:
1. You can drink plenty of fluids
2. It is easy to check the remaining amount and replenish.
3. Placing heavy fluids close to the body improves balance of the center of gravity*1
These are some of the reasons why. The impression is that the "lightweight plastic bottle" really makes the mountain climbing itself lighter. However, even if it is convenient, if it is too big, it will get in the way of walking, so the size of the "Extra-Bottle Holder" is optimized for the currently most popular plastic bottle size of about 450 to 600 ml.*2
The holder itself weighs only about 40g, so it feels very light when you put it in when there is nothing inside.
Lightweight but retains its shape
The back of the holder is padded with 5mm of material, maintaining its basic shape. This allows for smooth bottle insertion and removal, and easy attachment to various components. The shock cord on the rim can be tensioned with one finger, or it can be easily loosened by pressing the cord locker and pulling the rim. Hooking the tightened shock cord around the neck of the bottle also prevents it from accidentally dropping.
To attach it to a harness, use the included "Annex Clip." Simply place the part into the slit (top, middle, or bottom) on the back of the holder, pass it through the desired attachment point on the backpack, and close the clip. The secure click holds the tape in place and prevents it from slipping. Depending on the installation position, one clip may be sufficient, but using two clips will more effectively reduce swaying.
The Extra-Bottle Holder can be attached to the "Standard Harness" and "Simple Light Harness"*3 that come standard with "OGAWAND" backpacks, and can also be attached to backpacks from other brands. For shoulder harnesses, the "Annex Clip" can be attached to the vertical tape (2cm to 2.5cm wide), and for horizontal tape (up to 4.5cm wide), the holder can be threaded through the slit on the back of the holder, so it can also be attached to a simple waist belt.*4 The unique feature and greatest feature of the Extra-Bottle Holder is its ease of use, allowing you to freely change its usage to suit the situation in the field. It can be used not only for drink bottles, but also for snacks, sunglasses, compact digital cameras, and other items you frequently need to access during hikes.
Choice of types and colors
There are two types: "same fabric type" and "mesh type." Choose from a variety of colors for each type: the firm X-Pac (VX21), the flexible Spectra (HDPE), or the tough Ultra200x.
