There are those that love hydration packs but others dislike the idea of wearing a backpack filled with water. The Israeli company BlueDesert seems to have a solution – it basically turns a water bottle into a hydration pack that allows for sipping of water while on the go but without the need to war a bladder pack on the back.
The solution is fairly simple. The SmarTube (as it is called) is basically a coiled hose that connects to the bottle and acts as a straw for the rider. It also features what the company calls the SpiralTube, which mounts to the handlebars and automatically spoils the hose when it is released.
While this could be good for those doing serious off-road riding or time trials, we just hope that lazy commuters don’t try to suck down the morning joe with it!
