Hydrapak, creators of innovative and advanced fluid delivery is honored with one of Health Magazine Fitness Awards in the gear category. The new GEL-BOT line provides Hydrapak the opportunity to address athletes’ total nutritional and hydration needs.

“We are truly excited about our new product line.” remarks Matt Lyon, president of Hydrapak. “It’s great that the Gel-Bot has been nationally recognized for its innovation.”

Health describes the Gel-Bot as,“[a] cleverly designed bottle that holds water and sports gel in one container.” Gel-Bot is a water bottle with an integrated gel flask. Using patented Energy-Core technology, Gel-Bot allows consumption of energy gel or water from one bottle. Gel-Bot is easy to use no matter the activity from cycling to the gym. Just squeeze the bottle with the valve pushed in to get gel or pull the valve out and squeeze to get water, just like a regular water bottle.


Launched in 2001, Hydrapak was introduced to satisfy the growing demand from athletes for personal hydration systems. Hydrapak creates the best hydration systems available for any activity where hands-free fluid delivery is needed. Reversible reservoirs and detachable drink tubes make Hydrapak the most unique hydration system on the market today.
