GEIGERRIG Review and Product Giveaway

posted by gumptiongear September 10, 2012 0 comments

There’s been a paradigm shift in the world of personal hydration systems.  After a 15 year drought in design and technical advancements, GEIGERRIG has emerged from the wilderness with a pressurized hydration reservoir featuring a unique integrated in-line water filter system. With a relatively simple change, GEIGERRIG has entered the market with what is nothing less than a game-changing hydration system.

The GEIGERRIG Difference…
Today, hydration packs seem to be as ubiquitous as the fluids they carry.  While design and aesthetics vary slightly from brand to brand, the function of the system’s heart and soul – the reservoir – is virtually identical across all the playing field.  Fill the bladder with liquid, place it in your pack, suck on a tube to get a drink.

As any athlete or outdoor enthusiast knows, this can make the hydration process difficult in strenuous or extreme situations.  At the very least, being forced to suck from a tube and hydrate when you’re body is pushing the limits and your cardio system is taxed, can be a massive inconvenience.

In essence, the traditional hydration pack restricts the water access to one person, and for only use – drinking.  In reality, water has many, many more uses than the simple (albeit important) process of hydration.  Add in the fact that the vast majority of outdoor activity is enjoyed with family, friends and packs, and you quickly understand that there’s a need for a more dynamic hydration product.

Here’s what sets GEIGERRIG apart.  GEIGERRIG hydration packs offer an innovative, “suck-free” approach to accessing the contents of your reservoir.  A patented pressurized system enables the water to be sprayed out for easy drinking during aerobic activity or for easy cooling, cleaning and sharing.   No longer is the water carried restricted to one person and one purpose.  After all, your outdoor adventures aren’t one dimensional… why should you be stuck with a one dimensional hydration pack?

Our Q&A with Bob Geiger offers an array of insight into the vision and passion behind this brand and the GEIGERRIG products.  But rather than walk you through the details of this unique hydration system, we’ll let Bob Geiger do it on our behalf.  During the 2012 Summer Outdoor Retailer Show, we caught up with Bob who kindly walked us through the hydration engine and its unique benefits:

Simply put, Geigerrig is working so you never suck again… literally.  And with a Hydration Engine (aka bladder) that comes with a lifetime warranty, rest assured your hydration pack will never suck again either.
