Whether you're planning epic backpacking journeys along mulitple countries, tackling challenging terrain in remote wilderness areas, or setting up camp in dense forests, every piece of gear in your pack needs to earn its place. With Smartbottle's ultralight design and premium quality, you'll discover why adventurers worldwide are making the switch from single use plastic water bottle.
Why Every Gram Matters: The Ultralight Revolution
When it comes to backpacking and camping adventures, having the right gear can make all the difference. Every extra gram becomes a burden over extra miles, and that's where Smartbottle shines as the perfect addition to your pack.
As renowned backpacking expert Jaeger Shaw noted in his comprehensive 2025 review "Best Backpacking Water Storage & Filtration System": "Meet Smartbottle, the current best reusable hard-sided ultralight water bottle. Smartbottle is made with reusable, medical-grade polypropylene instead of PET1 like Smartwater. The 1L version is only 0.8 ounces heavier than a similarly-sized Smartwater (no relation), a third the weight of a standard Nalgene, and about half the weight of Nalgene Ultralite. " This endorsement from a respected authority in the outdoor gear community validates Smartbottle's leading position in the competitive ultralight equipment market.

Designed with serious outdoor enthusiasts in mind, Smartbottle delivers exceptional portability without compromising functionality. When every ounce counts on long wilderness treks, the numbers speak for themselves:
-
1L Smartbottle: Only 61g

-
Compare to YETI Yonder 1L: 300g (5x heavier)

Weight difference vs. Smart Water: Just 0.8 ounces
