Original Ultralight Smartwater Water Bottle Carrier Backpacking Shoulder Strap

Handmade
Ships from California! Shorter shipping distances are kinder to the planet

Welcome to Ultralight Backpacking gear. You're supporting a small family by purchasing my hand made gear, and I'm thankful every day for this. 

These UL water bottle carriers are truly ultralight weighing in at less than a half oz. They come in three sizes. 1 liter (13g), 700ml (11.3g), and 500ml (10.3g). They're designed specifically around the Smartwater bottles which have become a trail favorite. These are individually priced, so 1 carrier per order, not a pair.

They attach to the front of your backpack's shoulder straps, which takes the weight off your back and shifts it up front allowing them to work as a counterbalance. At 2.2lbs per liter of water, it is a noticeable shift of weight.

They are also adjustable up and down to find the perfect ride height for your pack. Check photos for instructions.

If you're using a pack with daisy chain or vertical webbing attachment points like Zpacks, Granite Gear, HMG or a few other cottage companies, let me know so I can include some loops of cordage to create the necessary horizontal attachment point for connecting. For HMG packs or packs with 3/4”-1” vertical webbing, I will include slik clips upon request.

This video demonstrates the attachment process although the bottom loop of elastic has now been removed and replaced by a 3rd top support.
