Backstory (TL;DR: We made a bottle)
A few months back, we spotted someone on Instagram frustrated about not being able to find a skinny bottle that was both durable and lightweight. They wanted something like a mix between a Nalgene and a disposable Smart Water bottle. That post racked up thousands of likes and dozens of comments, and we thought, ‘hey, maybe we could make that happen.’
It’s that kind of thinking that got us into this wild adventure in the first place—filling up our basements with gear, late-night packaging sessions, and marathon chats with manufacturers 🤪.
We reached out to a bunch of manufacturers and finally found one that could almost make exactly what we envisioned. We would’ve loved to use UL HDPE plastic, but selling the MOQ of 20,000 bottles felt a little out of reach. So, we pivoted. And now, here we are, dipping our toes into hydration with something we’re really excited about.

Grate bottle took one 300 + miles of the PCT this summer and no problems 😊
When I’m not wearing my Squak Grid Fleece, I’m wearing this merino woolie! I immediately ordered another for my guy. Totally love this piece. The Squak team really goes beyond on customer service too. All around happy.
That's wonderful to hear Heidi!
Excited that you're Loving these new Merino Woolies and that it's your go-to when you're not wearing your Grid Fleece! It's awesome you immediately ordered another one as a gift. And thanks for the kind words about our customer service—we're happy to hear you're all around happy!
The Squak resusable water bottle is lightweight and solid. It has a wide mouth for easy filling, drinking, & measurements along the side. Not adding "plastic" taste ensures the water is always refreshing. It's a winner.
That's awesome Joe!
Thrilled to hear you've found a good lightweight water bottle! That's great the wide mouth makes filling and drinking easy, the measurements are handy, and that it doesn't add any 'plastic' taste to your water. Sounds like a winner indeed!
I travel a lot for work and inevitably always end up buying a disposable/recyclable smart water bottle. Constantly buying these is 1 - making me feel like a horrible human for contributing to the plastic pile we deal with 2- terrible on the wallet. Found this squak bottle thanks to a desperate AI search and voila I bought two. Fits in every bag, cleans easily, and seems as indestructible as one would need for travel life. (Only added request is an 'easy sipper accessory optional insert' similar to another brand that starts with an N.)
Literally have it with me on a flight right now!
Could not recommend it more!
Hey Sab! That's awesome it's an indestructible and lightweight solution that fits your travel life perfectly. We appreciate the request for an 'easy sipper accessory'—that's great feedback for us!
These are a great lightweight alternative to the classic Nalgene. Fit my water bottle pockets better, and the wide mouth makes filtering on the go easier than a bladder. Personal choice at the end of the day but these have become my go to container for water.
Hey Pete! Stoked to hear our bottle has become your go-to and is a great lightweight alternative to the classic! We're glad they're fitting your water bottle pockets perfectly and making filtering on the go easier for you.
