Beyond the Sip: Hydrations Next Wave of Sustainable Adventure

At Mazama Designs, we’ve always been about more than just hydration. We're here to empower outdoor adventure with gear that’s smart, reliable, and built to keep you moving — not just through your hike, ride, or climb, but into a more conscious future.

Lately, we’ve seen a growing movement that we’re totally on board with: sustainable adventure culture. It’s not just about getting outside anymore — it’s about how we get outside. People are asking better questions: What’s in my gear? Where was it made? What happens to it when I’m done?

The Evolution of Hydration Gear

Hydration products used to be an afterthought. Today, they’re at the heart of high-performance, low-impact outdoor living. With single-use plastics on the way out and minimalist, multi-use gear on the rise, your hydration system has to do more with less.

That’s why at Mazama Designs, we’ve doubled down on durability, function, and smart design — building reservoirs, bottles, and packs that go the distance season after season, trail after trail.

Modular Hydration is the New Normal

One trend we’re seeing is modular hydration. Interchangeable hoses, filter-ready designs, and universal fit systems are making hydration gear more adaptable than ever. Whether you’re trail running, bikepacking, or navigating your first thru-hike, your hydration system should evolve with your needs — not hold you back.

The Rise of Ethical Design

We’re not just talking about recycled materials. We’re talking ethical design from the start — thinking critically about labor, lifecycle, and logistics. As global conditions shift and tariffs impact outdoor gear across the board, we’re staying nimble and focused — always doing our best to protect cost, quality, and consistency for our customers.

Hydration as a Daily Ritual

One of the biggest changes post-pandemic? People are taking hydration seriously — not just on the trail, but every single day. Our M!GO bottle wasn’t built just for mountaintops. It was built for your work desk, your gym bag, your morning commute. Wellness doesn’t stop when the adventure ends — and your bottle shouldn’t either.

What’s Next for Mazama?

We’re continuing to design for flexibility, for values, and for real life. Whether you’re chasing summits or just trying to stay sustainably hydrated in a fast-moving world, we’ve got you covered.
