GEIGERRIG Rig 1600 Review & Giveaway

We accept a variety of samples and/or compensation for links, posts, and other campaigns. Refer to the bottom of the post and our site-wide disclosure policy for full details.

GEIGERRIG offers a high quality and innovative line of Hydration Packs that are loaded with features that far surpass others in the market. Their packs included patented technology of pressurizing the hydration bladder which allows you to spray to drink, cool, clean, or share your water. Plus, their hydration packs feature an inline filter system so you can even pick up un-filter water along the trail and safely drink up to 50 gallons of water from the use of the one in-line filter!

Features of the GEIGERRIG Rig 1600 Hydration Pack:

  • 100 oz Bladder with quick-release valves
  • 100% Heavy Duty Ballistic Nylon Fabric
  • Weights just 2.8 lbs
  • iPod Ready compartment with Waterproof Zipper
  • Padded, Stowable Hip Belt
  • Ergonomic Fit
  • “Plug & Play” Reservoir Tube Connector

I received a GEIGERRIG Rig 1600 review pack to get to try out! My husband loves to hike, camp, and ride his motorcycle so he was beyond thrilled to try out this hydration pack! His favorite feature is that you pump air into the bladder so you don’t have to just suck and suck before you ever get a stream of water. In fact, once you’ve pumped air into the bladder it is pressurized and then is extremely easy to drink water from the tube or you can also spray directly from the tube to share your hydration pack or cool off on a hot ride! Another really cool feature of the GEIGERRIG line of hydration packs is that the bladder can be unhooked from the quick-release valves and taken out from your pack without having to unthread the tubes. This makes it simple to fill, refill, clean, and dry out the bladder and then just clip it back on at the valve and you’re ready to go again! Plus, the bladder can even be turned inside out and washed in the dishwasher for a through clean. My husband loves his GEIGERRIG Rig 1600 Hydration pack and has been incredible happy with it every time he’s taken it out. You will not be disappointed with the GEIGERRIG line of hydration packs, no matter which size bladder is right for you.

You can find the GEIGERRIG Rig 1600 Hydration Pack, and their other size hydration packs, through their website and on Amazon. They are also occasionally available at local Costco. The Rig 1600 retails for $145.

    I like the fact that it’s made with 100% heavy duty 1680 ballistic nylon. That would make it very durable. My son rides bikes on long trips. He purchased one of these years ago, but it’s not as nice as this one. His needs replacing.
