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 edges are made of taut "X-Pac" and the back is padded with 5mm thickness, so the basic shape of the holder is maintained. This allows for smooth bottle insertion and removal, and makes it easy to attach to each part.
The shock cord on the rim can be tensioned with just one finger, or you can easily loosen it by pulling the rim while pressing the cord locker. By hooking the tightened shock cord around the neck of the bottle, it can also prevent the bottle from accidentally dropping.
The main method of attaching to harnesses and the like is to use the "Annex Clip". Simply place the parts in the slits (upper, middle, or lower) on the back of the holder, pass them through the desired location on the backpack, and close the clip. Closing it securely with a click will hold the tape in place and prevent it from slipping. Depending on the installation location, one clip may be enough to secure it, but using two clips will reduce shaking more effectively.
The Extra-Bottle holder can be attached to the Standard Harness and Simple Light Harness that come standard with OGAWAND backpacks, and can also be attached to backpacks from other brands. If you have a shoulder harness, you can attach it to the vertical tape (2-2.5cm wide) using the Annex Clip, and if you have a horizontal tape (up to 4.5cm wide), you can pass it through the slit on the back of the holder, so if you have a simple waist belt, you can attach it to your waist. *4 The best feature and appeal of the Extra-Bottle holder is that it can be easily changed to suit the situation at hand in the field. It can be used not only for drink bottles, but also for snacks, sunglasses, compact digital cameras, and other items that you want to take out and put back in frequently during hikes.
Choice of types and colors
There are two types: "same fabric type" and "mesh type." You can choose the color of each type, the firm X-Pac (VX21) or the flexible Spectra (HDPE), so please choose the one you like.
