Gear Check Activation - Supporting Runners, Building Partnerships & Brand Loyalty

Designed to enhance runner experiences and showcase HydraPak’s leadership in hydration, Gear Check is held at premier trail running and endurance events, hosted by HydraPak or in collaboration with partners like Satisfy Running, Salomon, and The North Face.

As the trusted hydration partner for over 90% of flasks, reservoirs, and bottles in running vests and packs, HydraPak uses this program to:

-Provide free cleaning, repair, and replacement services for hydration gear.
-Educate customers on universal product compatibility and lifetime warranty.
-Build brand awareness through hands-on interactions and co-branded activations with notable brand partners.
-Opportunity for co-branded product sales with brand partners and in-line retail product sales at events.
