Clean water on the go - HydraPak Breakaway+ Filtered Cycling Water Bottle Review - feat Locking Cap

As a cyclist you sometimes have to settle for tap water or public water sources that can be a bit questionable to refill your water bottle. HydraPak’s new Breakaway+ bottle offers a built-in filter system that can clean water as you drink it to provide additional peace of mind. The retail price ranges from $46-$48 for the 20oz and 30oz bottle versions respectively. HydraPak has integrated a filter into the cap of the bottle that claims to remove 99.99% of E Coli and Parasitic cysts while still offering a high water flow. The bottles are also BPA and PVC free with a nice squeezable design and large nozzle. Unlike the Polar Breakaway bottles, the Breakway+ has a low profile twist-to-lock cap design. Visually, the HydraPak Breakaway+ bottle mimics the same shape as the Polar Breakaway with a uniform cylindrical shape and pronounced grip ring. The bottle has a standard 74mm diameter which makes it compatible with any bike water bottle cage and stays securely in place. HydraPak currently offers the Breakaway+ bottle in two sizes: a 20oz / 600ml version and a larger 30oz / 880 ml. Despite the differences in capacity, the price difference between the bottle is only $2 which is negligible. As this is still a new bottle, there are no color variations or insulated options available aside from these non-insulated clear bottles with grid patterns. However, the cap and filter of the Breakaway+ is interchangeable with nearly any modern Polar bottle which means you can use any of Polar’s various color or insulation options. As far as size, the addition of the filter only adds about 0.5” to the height of the bottle compared to a standard Breakaway non-insulated bottle. One of the key features of these bottles is the new filtering system that is integrated into the cap. The cap and filter are a single piece and are not designed to be separated which means they have to be replaced together. HydraPak rates the filter’s capacity as 1500L or about a year of use before the entire cap would need to be replaced. We would have liked to see a more serviceable design as it seems wasteful to throw away the entire cap for just a filter replacement. As of the time of this review, there is also no replacement cap listed on HydraPak’s website which means you’d have to purchase the entire bottle again. The filter itself is fairly small and looks identical to HydraPak’s 42mm filter cap that is used on their other products... ...
