Salomon Soft Flask XA Filter 490ml Water Bottle

Soft Flask XA Filter 490ml Bottle lets us refill on the fly during backcountry runs

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"This flask is a game changer for long trail runs or fastpacking missions. I can refill from streams without a second thought, and it compresses as I drink so it never sloshes around. It’s lightweight, efficient, and one less thing to worry about when I’m out there."

When our routes take us far from the trailhead and deep into the alpine, the Salomon Soft Flask XA Filter 490ml Water Bottle keeps us light, fast, and self-reliant. Built with an integrated filter, it allows us to safely refill from natural sources along the way—no need to carry excess weight or plan stops around clean water access.

The soft-sided design collapses as we drink to minimize bounce and bulk, while the wide opening and secure bite valve make filling and sipping a breeze. Whether we’re racing ultramarathons or fastpacking remote ridgelines, this flask helps us move efficiently and confidently through wild terrain.
