Stay Hydrated on the Trail: Why the CNOC Triple Crown


VectoX is a Backcountry Game Changer, When it comes to ultralight backpacking, your water filtration setup can make or break your day on the trail. Traditional plastic bottles are rigid, while standard bladders can be incredibly frustrating to fill from shallow streams. Enter the CNOC Outdoors Triple Crown 28mm VectoX Water Container—a rugged, collapsible, and beautifully engineered solution designed specifically for hikers who demand reliability without the weight.

The VectoX Edge: Extra Durability Meets Clean Design

If you are familiar with the original CNOC Vecto, the VectoX takes toughness to the next level. Made from a robust, flexible TPU material, it is built to withstand higher pressure—meaning you can squeeze it harder during filtration without fearing a blowout.

This specific Triple Crown edition features a stunning topographic design celebrating the Appalachian Trail Conservancy, making it as visually striking as it is functional.

Why Backpackers Love It: • • •

  • The Dual-Opening System: It features a wide, slider-sealed opening at the top for effortless filling from any water source, and a standard screw cap at the bottom.
  • Universal 28mm Thread: The 28mm neck makes it perfectly compatible with industry-standard water f ilters like the Sawyer Mini, Sawyer Squeeze, and HydroBlu VersaFlow.
  • Highly Packable: When empty, it rolls up into a tiny package that fits into any pocket or corner of your pack.

 

Easily fill, hang, and gravity-filter your water using the dual-opening system.

Streamline Your Gravity Filtration One of the best ways to use the VectoX is as a gravity filtration reservoir. Simply scoop your dirty water through the wide slide-top, attach your 28mm filter to the bottom cap, hang it from a branch, and let gravity do the heavy lifting. No more tiresome hand-pumping after a long day of hiking.
