With extra rigging points and pockets, hydration essentials stowed easy: between a Hydrapak Shape-Shift 3L bladder ($38; hydrapak.com) lashed atop the load, and the Klean Kanteen Insulated TKWide 16oz ($29; kleankanteen.com), which went from coffee mug to leakproof water bottle, without any lasting campfire flavors.
