The Rhino Relay team does not need to tell you how important water is to the endurance
of an athlete. However, we would like to feature a brilliant new hydration system that will
give you a proof and advantage in your race. It is the Geigerrig Hydration Engine. Now
let us get in to assess this pack apart. The reason they called hydration engine is because
it is pressurize by pumping air into the hydration unit. The Geigerrig is cleverly constructed
with two membranes; one for water, the second for air. The easy to use hydropack slide top
holds all the pressure. Then all it takes is a pinch and the pressurized water can supply
into the tube. There are new more applications that a pressurized hydration pack has for
Rhino Relay participants. First of course is spraying to drink rather than having to
suck down to get hydrated. This allows you to continue biking or running without having
to catch your breath just to drink. You can spray cuts and scrapes that you might get
along the way so that you can keep them clean. The hydration engine can be easily use to
cool down as you are running around. You can now share the water with your race partner
without having to worry about champing down on someone else's frothy hydration bite valve.
Another special application is the ability it has to spray to clean with pressure and
minimal water use. Possibly the most descouraging aspect of hydration systems is getting them
clean once you get home. With the Geigerrig, you can easily turn it inside-out like you
wear to sock, grabbing the export valve. Five seconds later, you can throw them to dishwasher.
No problem. Now this is knit. With the Geigerrig, you can virtually drink any fresh water with
the panded in-line filtration system. They have reengineered the pumping filter to fit
on the drinking tube. And just like any other filter, it will remove 99% of contaminants
including Giardia and cryptosporidium. So if you are to run out of water in the race,
all you need to do when you find fresh body of water is undo the quick release clips in
the hydroside top. Dip the pack in the water and then filter it up. The filter will do
the rest of the work as the pressurize system pushes the water through. Now that is on-demand
hydration and that is power. In this industry, we compare this system with the ___ back 450
and affirms that they like the Geigerrig 700 more. It fits better, it hydrates better and
it better protects the gear. It goes with that saying that the Rhino Relay team highly
recommends the Geigerrig Hydration Engine for all up coming races. Thank you and we
look forward of seeing you at our next event.
