Why We Like It
The ThruBottle 1000 is one of those simple pieces of gear that makes a lot of sense for an ultralight kit. At just 63 grams, it’s light enough to compete with disposable bottles while being substantially more durable and better suited to repeated use.
The 28 mm thread is another big advantage. It allows the bottle to work directly with popular backpacking water filters, making it easy to build a lightweight and uncomplicated water system.
The Tradeoff
A disposable bottle is still lighter, so hikers focused purely on minimizing weight can save a few grams by using one. The ThruBottle 1000 also isn’t insulated or designed to collapse completely, so you’re choosing durability and reusability over the absolute lowest weight and packability.
Rikkar Take
A great choice for hikers who want to move away from disposable water bottles without adding much weight to their pack. The ThruBottle 1000 is particularly well suited to thru-hikers and ultralight backpackers who use a 28 mm filter and want a simple, durable bottle that can stay in the kit for the long haul.
