Shop for the BrüMate Paragon Hydration Pack.

Made For Hydration On The Move - Say goodbye to plastic, leaking reservoirs filled with warm water and set out for your adventure with confidence knowing the feature-packed Paragon Hydration Pack from BrüMate has your back (literally).

What sets the Paragon apart from other hydration packs?
Made for hydration on the move, the Paragon Hydration Pack isn’t just any hydration pack; it’s your best companion for every adventure. From hiking trails to music festivals, the Paragon is engineered with a leakproof 40oz Alloy™ Insulated Reservoir to keep your water cold for over 24 hours, and the hose system is designed to ensure you’re never drinking lukewarm water or from a frozen hose. Sip, explore, repeat.


What beverages are compatible with the Paragon? 
Only water is recommended for use in the reservoir. Ice is recommended to keep water colder for longer.


Can the Paragon be used with warm beverages?
We do not recommend using the Paragon with warm beverages.


How much does it weigh?
The Paragon Hydration Pack weighs 5.9 lbs with a full reservoir. 

Empty Weight: 1.83 lbs.


How much can the Pack hold?
With the reservoir inside, Paragon can hold 7.5 liters, enough for a day hike with snacks, valuables, and a light jacket.


How much liquid does the Paragon’s Alloy™ Insulated Reservoir hold?
The Insulated Reservoir will hold 40oz of water/liquid.


How long will it keep ice?
The Alloy™ stainless steel 40oz reservoir keeps ice for 24+ hours.


How many pockets does the Pack have?
The Paragon Hydration Pack includes 4 pockets:
1 water-resistant zippered valuables pocket
2 full-length zippered pockets
1 slip front pocket


Is the Paragon Hydration Pack water resistant + durable?
The reservoir backpack is water resistant, and it is equipped with abrasion-resistant fabric so that you don't have to worry about durability on your next adventure. Plus, the Paragon has a water-resistant valuables pocket for extra security whether you're caught in the rain or biking through new terrain.


What is the maximum measurement of the straps on the Pack?
Chest Strap: 11.5"
Waist Strap: 38.5" (where the straps connect to the bag)


How do I use the ClickSip™ Valve?
How to use the ClickSip valve:

1. To Open: Push the tabs forward using your fingers or by biting the valve tip and pulling with your teeth.

2. Let It Breathe: When using ClickSip without the one-way valve attached, ensure that after sipping, you allow the valve to breathe for a moment. This allows water to fall back into the reservoir to prevent small amounts of water from releasing from the valve after closing.

3. To Close: Push the tabs back toward the closed position until the valve tip stops. 

The Paragon uses technology to let you choose if it keeps your water in the hydration reservoir or is available to sip in the straw, and you can sip from either side of it with the left- and right-side friendly magnetic hose clip. Plus, this reservoir backpack has a ColdKey™ straw to prevent plastic from sitting in your water all day.


When should I use the One-Way Valve?
The One-Way valve lets you choose whether the drink is readily available or if it will fall back into the hydration reservoir to ensure it remains protected from the elements.

1. Without Valve: Drink falls back into the reservoir and will not freeze or get warm.

2. With Valve: Drink will stay in the hose and remain susceptible to freezing and warm weather conditions.

To assemble the One-Way valve, simply remove the ClickSip valve from the hose and install the One-Way valve directly into the hose. After the One-Way valve is installed, you can then place the ClickSip valve onto the One-Way valve.


How do I clean the Paragon?
All components of the Paragon Hydration Pack are top-rack dishwasher safe except for the backpack. Here's an overview of how to clean each part of the reservoir + backpack:

1. Place reservoir, valves, hose, straw, lid assembly, and the insulated stainless steel body on the top rack of your dishwasher and wash as normal.

2. Alternatively, you can hand wash the above components with warm water and soap. Tip: try VooBrü Tablets a BrüBrush to get tough-to-reach areas and a thorough clean for the reservoir. 

3. To clean the backpack, spot clean using a rag, mild soap, and warm water. Do not place it in the washer.


How comfortable is it to wear?
With a breathable design and adjustable straps, Paragon fits to you so that you can wear it and sip comfortably. The reservoir backpack comes with 3/4"" foam padding between the reservoir and your back for cushioning. It also comes with:

1. Removable/adjustable waist strap and magnetic sternum strap.

2. Adjustable, magnetic hose clip to keep the hose where it sits best for you.

3. MOLLE notches to adjust the hose, sip valve, and waist + sternum straps to your height.


How do I use the Paragon as a hydration pack?

1. Route your hose into the reservoir pocket on the left or right hand side depending on your drinking preference.

2. Unzip the reservoir pocket. Push down, twist left and pull up on the hose connector to remove the hose. Push the hose to the side and remove the reservoir from the pack. Fill it up with your drink of choice (water), push the quick connect back down and twist right to lock it. 

3. Adjust the magnetic sternum strap, waist strap, and magnetic hose clip to your desired placements with four laser cut MOLLE notches to choose from.

4. That’s it! Just pull to sip, and push to close.



How is the Paragon sustainable?
With the Paragon Hydration Pack, you can ditch single-use plastics – no recycling bins needed. The ColdKey™ straw is made of stainless steel to reduce plastic, and all components of the reservoir including the straw are top-rack dishwasher safe so you can save water when you clean it. 



Is the Paragon covered under warranty?
Yes, we have a limited 5-year warranty against manufacturer defects.



Are there accessories for the Paragon?

Hydration System Only - What do I need to know about pairing this with an existing pack?
