Look no further- great water bottle holder.
I use the Essentia 1L water bottles. They have a just-right, snug fit.
I really like this water bottle holder. I have tried afew others, this is my favorite.
My only minor observation is that the retention shock cord and adjuster are a bit of overkill. I replaced mine with a lighter-weight shock cord and adjuster.
Great for smart water bottles, the Essentia bottle is just a tad wider than the smart water bottles, yet still works great! The front mesh pocket is a really nice touch.

This is a great product
This is a great product. Inexpensive, well made, and durable. I used this for food on our recent hikes in Acadia NP and Franconia Notch State Park. The other folks on the trip all asked about it.

Extra special and quality bear bag. Great product!
I am pleased with the custom bear bag that I ordered a few months back. It is well made and a nice size that can accommodate my food, snacks and other scented items. The best part is the picture collage of my pups, especially in honor of my beloved white Pyrenees lab mix Fraankie.

Perfect for minimal and ultralight without spending a fortune.
Bought one for me and one for my son. Simple, inexpensive, lightweight, packable. I do love that the pocket on the front is a kangaroo pocket also. I've got the 3xl at 8.8 oz and the L at 7.4 oz. Hilltop always makes durable, excellent quality items. I would trust anything from this company. I'm sure they'd stand behind their products if there was an issue. I wouldn't know, because I've never had an issue with any of their products!

Light and sturdy food bag
Light and sturdy! Great size for all our food for 3 days. Light material that’s translucent so you can see what’s inside. Hangs great from a bear line. Love the extra pocket for my camp spoon! I’ve never had a good spot for it until now.

Made In Pennsylvania
Built by Us, Not a Big Factory
We actually make this stuff.
Every bag, pouch, and pack that leaves our shop was cut, sewn, and inspected by a real person on our team in Waynesburg, PA. No overseas factories. No middlemen. Just a small crew who gives a damn about the gear they put their name on.
When something goes wrong, and in the outdoors, sometimes it does, we fix it. Free. For five years. Even if you messed it up yourself. Even if you already tried to fix it. We'll sort it out.

Do you even hike bro?
Ultralight Gear, Built By Hikers
Designed on the trail. Not in a boardroom.
Ben & Tim are our in-house gear testers. We've been soaked, overpacked, and on mile 18 wishing we'd made better gear decisions. That experience shapes every product we build.
We use the same premium ultralight fabrics as the big names, Ecopak, D50T Dyneema, X-Pac, Ultra, and more, because weight matters and so does durability. The difference is we'll actually answer when you have a question about it.

This is where it gets fun
Custom Printing
Now make it yours.
Your dog. Your trail name. Your kid's drawing. A photo from the summit. We can print it on almost anything we make — and it still weighs practically nothing.
We're the only ultralight gear company doing custom printing at this level. It started as a cool idea in Ben's basement in 2019. It's still what makes us different.
[Explore custom printing →](/content/collections/all-custom-printed-products "Explore custom printing →"/index.html)
We Know Where We Came From
Started in a basement. Still made the same way.
In 2019, Ben McMillen posted a photo of a custom food bag he'd sewn himself. The internet responded. Ben talked his daughters into joining the effort and Hilltop Packs was born.
We've grown a lot since then, new space, bigger team, gear shipping worldwide, but the way we work hasn't changed. Same family vibe. Same care. Same Waynesburg, PA zip code.
