Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best hydration system for trail running in NZ?
A running vest with integrated soft flasks (HydraPak or Camelbak) is the standard choice for NZ trail running — the soft flask format compresses as you drink, reducing slosh and weight. For longer runs, a bladder with tube setup in a running vest provides more capacity hands-free.
Do I need to filter water on NZ tracks?
Water from clear-running alpine streams on maintained NZ tracks is generally safe to drink, but Giardia and other pathogens exist in NZ waterways. DOC recommends treating water from any source on NZ tracks. A GRAYL filter bottle or Sawyer Squeeze is the most practical way to treat water on the go — no waiting time, no chemical taste.
