Nalgene holder

[TheCougar]

Does anyone know of a lightweight water bottle holder that is compatible with a Kifaru Belt? The Kifaru one weights 4 ounces, which is ridiculous. It’s death by a thousand cuts with weight, so I’d like to keep it as lightweight as possible.

You should try an get ahold of Pods8 on rokslide. He built me a custom one and it works great.

Yep member pod8 aka rugged stitching. Got one for my new exo k3. Not sure on the weight but nice stuff.

Thanks gents

+1 for pods8. Solid dude. Great gear.

If you are looking for lightweight, it is hard to beat mesh. Seek outside has one. Not sure what it weighs but a doubt it is much more than an ounce. I like mine but they snag more than a solid nylon pouch.

Yep Pods8 for sure! I like that he uses a bungee instead of a buckle to hold the bottle secure.

I like the one from Pods8, but it's not significantly lighter then the Kifaru.

Mesh or I've seen ones made from webbing, are going to be lighter. I dont know of any off the top.of my head, but I've seen them.

Or even better, the Kuiu pack I'm currently testing has a water bottle pocket at the bottom that I can actually reach while hiking. Never had that before. Zero weight gain!

I like this one when I’m not running a bladder in my pack.

I don’t think this will work on a Kifaru belt.

100% agree about the bungee. I have both and much prefer the bungee over the kifaru snap.

I have looked at his stuff on here and it looks very nice! Once i hit that threshold, I am sending him a PM!

I have one of these and they are fairly versatile.

I’ve been watching this thread with little expectation of seeing something I’d prefer over the Kifaru, but that ITS thing looks pretty good. I’ll need to try that out.
