For those who are unfamiliar with the company RaidLight, they have been serving the trail running community since 1999 with products that enhance a runner’s ability to connect with each other, nature, and the trail running experience. Born in the French Alps in the garage of trail & ultra runner Benoit Laval, RaidLight was founded to support trail runners and adventurers and has been creating gear to push the limits.
And sometimes something as simple as a water bottle redesign can make the trail running experience a lot more enjoyable. Meet the Raidlight R-Go Bottle.

The Raidlight R-Go Bottle is the next generation of the front pocket hydration vest squeezable bottle. The R-Go has an ergonomic shape that was designed to rest perfectly against the body. This allows hydration vests to be tightened up a bit more snug to eliminate any unwanted bounce. Due to the contoured shape of the bottle, it sits comfortably in place even on the most demanding terrain.
Designed to rest against the body.
The R-GO Straw allows you to drink as you move without having to stop mid run and fumble with bottles trying to get them in and out of the pockets. With the 90 degree bend in the straw, it is as simply as bite and drink. The bite valve also securely self seals ensuring it doesn’t dribble or drip while you’re jostling around on the trail.
Additionally, the R-Go is entirely free of BPA, so you can drink to your heart’s content without worrying about ingesting potentially harmful chemicals.

The Verdict on the R-Go Bottle
Raidlight built the R-Go to keep your beverages close at hand mouth and it does just that.
