"I do everything from short, hard workouts to multi-week bikepacking trips and from 90-minute XC MTB races to multi-day ultras - each activity has different hydration and nutrition needs so having a variety of options in a wide range of capacities is ideal. One of my favorite products is the Breakaway+ bottle - I love being able to just pause along the trail to scoop water from a creek, pop the lid back on the bottle, and keep the ride flowing. On longer backcountry rides or bikepacking adventures, the bottle is incredibly convenient for filtering water into a hydration bladder - no need to carry a separate water filter."
