In what way do you secure water to your pack? 💧

Thank you, I was just hesitating between both products ! My choice is made :)

This is really helpful – thanks! Just bought the Gossamer Gear (there doesn't seem to be any other options here in the UK) and how to attach it to the bag is very unclear 😂

It is easier if you loosen the blue straps before putting the bottle back in the GG bottle rocket. another thing I like about the GG bottle rocket is that I can hang my ball cap from it, when not in use Pass the shock cord thru the back loop of the ball cap and then put the shock cord over the bottle cap as normal.

We have the chicken tramper water bottle holders. We love them! Of course, we also have chicken tramper packs and other accessories as well 😊 we have never had any issues with getting our bottles back in with the CTUG sleeves. Great video btw 🙂

Great review! Covers the two things you need ti know: how they attach and what's it like to get the bottle in and out. Thanks!

Chicken Tramper has, I think 3 different sizes tailored to the bottle you are using. I have the 1L Smart Water size. It's great, effortless one handed operation. The easier it is to get to your water, the better you stay hydrated.

This is so true with Gossamer.. I had the same problem

[NorwayHikesTrails]

Nice comparison of the two bottles. Thank you for sharing and wishing you a wonderful week. atb

Great review. My problem with the Zpacks model is that the 1 L bottle I carry sticks up so high it hits me in the face when I turn my head. I am returning the water sleeve for a refund.

I’ve been using the Zpacks one for almost 2 years now. I’m a big fan.

[stephanhaeke]

i had the same problem and frustration with the bottle rocket. very very frustrated. now I use it to cary things like energy bars and stuff. another question I have is, why did they put the velcro straps vertical instead of horizontal? I have 4 backpacks and no one has loops to mount the holder vertical. any suggestion?

[trailheadjunkie]

I have the zpack and their clip. Both are awesome!

I’m in the market so this was a handy tip to see

I just received my Gossamer Gear Bottle Rocket today and installed it on my Osprey Rook 65L pack. I found that the large Smartwater bottle is too wide to fit into the holder without major frustration. I found that the 20oz fits just fine though. I will just have to refill from the larger bottles whenever I stop for a break. This should work for my needs. At least now I have a better option and I can eliminate the need to carry my water bladder.

I have this and the Justin’s UL holder-Justin’s is much better IMO. Easier to get bottle in and out, lighter, cheaper.

[glenloewen]

You’re using a Hyperlite pack. Did you have an interest in their bottle pocket?

[christopherhassanagcaoili]

Hi sir. Can you please show me a more detailed pic or vid on how you attach the water bottle pouch into the shoulder strap using the loop toggle? Thank you

[semo]

Tnx for the video. I also have both and GG holder isn't user friendly. The problem with GG as a company is that ALL their products are 5 star reviewed as they don't allow anything below that. I have first hand experience with them ignoring less than stellar reviews That's pretty sneaky and I'm done with them. Zpacks and their bottle holder is all good imo

[Oldsparkey]

I have the Zpacks water bottle holder and the Chicken Tramper Ultralight Gear ( CTUG ) which I like a lot better.
