Water bottle Aquaclip®

This item appears on page 57 of the January 2010 issue.

My wife, Jo, and I took a trip to Borneo in February ’09 with smarTours, and there was a couple in our group with their water bottles on Aquaclips®.

The Aquaclip® (Box 3656, Huntington Beach, CA 92605-3656; 877/420-4665 or phone/fax 714/848-7130) connects to the neck of the bottle and then slips over your belt or waistband. I was so impressed with it that I asked the couple to send me one (at my expense, of course) when they returned home.

After using it on a trip, I went online and ordered more from the company. Each costs $3, shipping included.

I have used it on trips to the Caucasus (Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan) and to Bhutan. It is so much more convenient than the shoulder slings that I have used on previous trips. I am 100% satisfied with it!
