Hydration systems

Hydration bladders, hydration packs, and hydration systems for outdoor, hiking, trail running, and mountain tours

In this category you'll find hydration systems for every outdoor activity – from lightweight hydration vests for trail running to robust hydration bladders for multi-day hikes to insulated systems for year-round use. Brands such as CamelBak, Source, Deuter, Osprey, and Salomon offer a wide selection of hydration solutions so you stay reliably supplied with fluids even on long tours – with fast delivery throughout Switzerland and the Principality of Liechtenstein.

Buy hydration systems online – for hiking, trail running & outdoor

Whether you're looking for a hydration system for your next hike, a hydration vest for a trail running competition, or a replacement bladder for your trusted backpack: the range includes hydration bladders in various sizes, complete hydration packs, drinking tubes, bite valves, and cleaning sets. This way, as a hiker, runner, or outdoor enthusiast, you'll quickly find the right hydration gear – conveniently from home.

Hydration bladders by volume & intended use

For short excursions and easy runs, compact hydration bladders with 1.5 liters are ideal. For day tours and extended hikes, 2 to 3 liters is the most common volume. Multi-day tours and hot conditions often require 3-liter systems or combining multiple bladders. Models with wide openings can be filled faster and cleaned more easily, while insulated tubes maintain the water temperature better in heat and cold.

Hydration packs & hydration vests

Hydration packs combine storage space with an integrated hydration system and are ideal for day hikes and bikepacking. Hydration vests are particularly lightweight, close-fitting, and optimal for trail running and fast mountain tours where every gram counts. Brands such as Salomon and Osprey offer specialized models with well-designed carrying systems and minimal volume with maximum functionality.

Who are hydration systems suitable for?

Hydration systems are ideal for hikers, trail runners, mountaineers, mountain bikers, and all outdoor athletes who want to drink efficiently and without interruption on the go. Hydration bladders also offer a practical alternative to traditional bottles for travel, festivals, and everyday use. Beginners benefit from complete sets, while experienced users appreciate specialized individual components and spare parts.

Quality, material & care

When buying a hydration system, it's worth paying attention to BPA-free materials, taste-neutral inner coatings, and easy-care constructions. Wide openings make cleaning easier, while antimicrobial treatments prevent germ growth. After every tour, the system should be thoroughly dried to prevent mold – this keeps the hydration system hygienic and ready for use for years.

Frequently asked questions
What is a hydration system and what is it used for?▾
A hydration system consists of a hydration bladder, a drinking tube, and a bite valve. It is primarily used for hiking, trail running, mountaineering, or biking so you can drink on the go without having to stop or take a bottle out of your backpack.
What are the advantages of a hydration system compared to traditional water bottles?▾
Hydration systems allow hands-free drinking while moving, distribute weight evenly in the backpack, and usually hold more water than individual bottles. This significantly facilitates consistent fluid intake on long tours.
How do I properly clean a hydration system?▾
After every tour, the hydration bladder should be rinsed with warm water and mild soap. Use a special brush to clean the tube and bite valve from the inside. To dry, hang the bladder open and upside down to prevent mold. Many models are dishwasher-safe.
Which hydration system is suitable for hiking?▾
For hikes and trekking tours, robust hydration bladders with a volume of 2 to 3 liters from brands like CamelBak, Source, or Deuter are ideal. Important features include a wide opening for easy filling, a kink-resistant tube, and a tight bite valve.
Which hydration system is suitable for trail running or fast mountain tours?▾
For trail running and fast, light mountain tours, compact hydration vests or running backpacks with an integrated hydration system are ideal. Brands such as Salomon and Osprey offer lightweight models with 1.5 to 2 liters of volume that fit close to the body and cause minimal chafing.
What is the difference between hydration bladders with and without an insulated tube?▾
An insulated drinking tube prevents the water in the tube from getting too warm in the heat or too cold in winter. Models without insulation are lighter but are more suitable for mild conditions. For high-altitude tours and winter use, an insulated tube is the better choice.
What volume should a hydration system have for day tours?▾
For day tours, 2 to 3 liters is the most common volume. For shorter excursions on flat terrain, 1.5 liters is often sufficient, while strenuous tours with few refill options make a 3-liter system worthwhile. The actual requirement depends on weather, exertion, and personal drinking habits.
How do I prevent the tube from freezing in winter?▾
In winter conditions, an insulated tube cover or a thermal tube helps. After each drink, blow the water from the tube back into the bladder so the tube stays empty. Carry the hydration bladder as close to the body as possible and fill it with lukewarm water.
