- Thicker, tougher, more durable than Vecto
- Handles boiling water

- Simple to clean, quick to dry
- Tethered cap and slide can’t be lost
VectoX is a collapsible water bladder with a unique dual opening for quick, easy filling. One end has a wide opening with a slider seal, while the other end, a standard 28 mm narrow mouth screw-on cap, like a water/soda bottle. The wide opening makes it easy to scoop water, even from a shallow, low-flow stream. No need for a separate scoop to fill this bladder. The cap and slide are tethered to the bladder so they can’t be lost.
VectoX is made of eXtra tough TPU for adventurers who demand more from their gear. The bladder is soft yet stands up to 450 lb (200 kg) of force. It’s thicker and more durable than the classic Vecto yet easier to squeeze than most standard bladders. VectoX even handles boiling water. TPU is FDA approved and BPA free.

VectoX 28 mm Narrow Mouth is compatible with popular water filters including: Sawyer Squeeze, Micro Squeeze, and Mini, LifeStraw Flex, and HydroBlu Versa Flow. Just scoop water, seal with the slider, screw on the filter, squeeze the bladder, and voila – clean water. Easy. Or set up a gravity filter using two VectoXs, one for dirty water and one for clean. Use two different color VectoXs to help identify the dirty bladder. Hang from the hole in the slider or tie a cord through the hole for a larger loop.
The wide opening makes VectoX very easy to clean. No special brushes or tablets needed. Get your whole hand in there with a soapy sponge and hot water to thoroughly clean the inside. Standard bladders can take a week to dry. VectoX dries quickly with the large opening.
