Hunter Tart, Ultra Runner/Trail Runner
Honestly a flask is a flask, but these fit well in the ADV 12 vest so it’s what I use. No problems with them. Nice wide mouth so you can easily get some ice in there or pour your electrolytes in without making a mess.

On longer or hotter runs, I carry 2 extra flasks in the back so I can quickly swap them out on the fly.
