What\u2019s the benefit of 3D welding? The upshot is, it cuts down on what HydraPak called the \u201cballoon factor.\u201d The construction technique helps fuse the bottom of each reservoir in a flat shape, rather than letting it sag like a plastic grocery bag full of water.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3DWeldVsPinchWeld-1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"532\" src=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3DWeldVsPinchWeld-1-800x532.jpg\" alt=\"hydrapak pinch welding versus 3d welding\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-318996\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3DWeldVsPinchWeld-1-800x532.jpg 800w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3DWeldVsPinchWeld-1-297x198.jpg 297w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3DWeldVsPinchWeld-1-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3DWeldVsPinchWeld-1-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3DWeldVsPinchWeld-1-720x480.jpg 720w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3DWeldVsPinchWeld-1.jpg 1503w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"532\" src=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3DWeldVsPinchWeld-1-800x532.jpg\" alt=\"hydrapak pinch welding versus 3d welding\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-318996\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3DWeldVsPinchWeld-1-800x532.jpg 800w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3DWeldVsPinchWeld-1-297x198.jpg 297w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3DWeldVsPinchWeld-1-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3DWeldVsPinchWeld-1-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3DWeldVsPinchWeld-1-720x480.jpg 720w, https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3DWeldVsPinchWeld-1.jpg 1503w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/noscript><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo c. HydraPak<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>HydraPak said the 3D welding helps the Contour carry more comfortably, makes it reversible (a unique feature in the category), and allows for the two baffles on the bottom \u2014 which it said dampen sloshing. Finally, the side exit port aims to ease loading and unloading.<\/p>\n<p>HydraPak also updated the \u201cSlide-Seal\u201d top to give it a more compatible hanger, designed to work with clips, hooks, and loops in a wide variety of packs. HydraPak targeted Osprey, CamelBak, Gregory, Dakine, and EVOC packs for use with its new product line. <\/p>\n<p>On the \u201cComet Bite\u201d valve, you\u2019ll find all the industry-standard features. It self-seals after each sip, you can operate the lock with one hand, and a magnetic clip on the hose helps you stash it out of the way on a shoulder strap.<\/p>\n<p>The Contour joins the existing Velocity and Force lines in the HydraPak lineup. The 3L fetches $45 MSRP. It\u2019s $43 for the 2L, and $41 for the 1.5L. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hydrapak.com\/collections\/activities-biking\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>hydrapak.com\/bike<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bikerumor.com\/hydrapak-contour-hydration-reservoir\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Support us!
