Full details

The Montane SoftFlask™ Short Straw is designed for trail runners and fastpackers who use Montane UltraFlask™ or SoftFlask™ in their vest pack's upper harness pockets. It provides quicker hydration by bringing the bite valve closer to your mouth, eliminating the need to remove the flask. While offering convenience, its specialized nature means it's only compatible with specific Montane flask models.

FAQs

What makes this straw 'short'?

The 'short straw' refers to its length, designed to extend from a flask placed in an upper harness pocket directly to the user's mouth, minimizing the distance the valve needs to travel.

Can I use this with my Salomon soft flask?

No, this accessory is designed exclusively for Montane UltraFlask™ and Montane SoftFlask™ models due to specific threading and design.

Is the material safe for drinking?

Yes, it is made from 20g TPU and is BPA free, PVC free, and meets or exceeds FDA and EU regulations for safe drinking.

How do I attach it to my flask?

You simply screw the wide end of the straw onto the opening of your compatible Montane flask. Ensure it is tightly secured.

Can I use it for hot liquids?

This product is designed for water and is not recommended for hot liquids.

What is the benefit of the short straw design?

The primary benefit is faster and easier hydration, as it brings the bite valve closer to your mouth, allowing you to drink without removing the flask from your vest pocket.

How should I clean the bite valve?

The entire straw assembly is top-rack dishwasher safe. For manual cleaning, use warm water and mild soap. If the bite valve can be detached, clean it separately to ensure all parts are reached.

Troubleshooting

Straw not fitting securely

Ensure you are using a compatible Montane SoftFlask™ or UltraFlask™. Check that the threads on both the flask opening and the straw attachment are clean and undamaged before screwing them together.

Low water flow from bite valve

Make sure the bite valve is fully open (usually by biting down or squeezing slightly, depending on the valve type). Check the straw and flask for any internal blockages. Ensure the connection between the straw and flask is airtight.

Difficult to clean

Utilize the dishwasher's top rack for easy cleaning. If handwashing, use a small bottle brush to reach all internal areas. Disassemble the bite valve if possible for thorough cleaning.
