Leave it unwashed for too long and that innocent sip can come with a bouquet of stale sports drink, mystery flavours and a whiff of swamp.

A quick rinse after every hike and a proper clean every few trips will keep your water tasting fresh and your hiking mates from recoiling when you take a drink. Your taste buds will thank you.
