Della Flask Holder Pack Accessory

Used in a trail run race on my running pack. Stayed on very well throughout the race. However, it was extremely difficult to put the bottle back in the holder without messing with the velcro while I was running. The price on this is also crazy.

It turned my Alpha FL 30 into a fastpack/trail running pack, haha. I used it on that pack over a 65-mile hike, and it performed great. It connected securely and was easy enough to put in and take out. Runs well too. When it came time to climb, the system packed away small, which was nice.

I was already looking for an accessory bottle holder for my current backpacks when I saw this come out on the website. I got two! The front mesh of the holder is nice and light, the back mesh is reinforced with a stronger webbing that helps with friction against the shoulder straps. The bottles themselves are made by HydraFlask which also make the Salomon soft flask bottles. I have owned two Hydraflasks for several years already for trail running and never had any issues with them breaking or leaking. Always great quality when it comes to the flasks themselves. The Arc’teryx logo on the flasks is a nice touch. The straps to secure the holder are nice and grippy, no issues with slipping. There’s a little elastic band which holds the bottle inside the case. I did read a one star review that stated the top cover did not stay in place. I’m not sure what they are referring to as there Is no top cover on this product… they also mentioned leakage. The soft nozzle of the flask is made to be squeezed with your teeth to drink, it doesn’t leak when not squeezed but if you put it inside your pack it will leak, as it is not made to be used that way. My only negative comment on this product would be about the front Arc’teryx branded pull-tab. Don’t pull on it too hard! One of them ripped at the top seam for me. No functional repercussions and it’s still in place but I won’t be pulling on it anymore! worth mentioning. Overall very pleased ! I’ve added some photos as the website does not provide many.

Bottle not functional, water spilled all over bag. Top cover doesn’t stay in place.
