FROM SUMMIT TO CAMPSITE—EXPLORE GEARS SODA MAKER DELIVERS INSTANT SPARKLE ANYWHERE

Drinking an ice-cold effervescent beverage after climbing or cycling through dusty terrain creates an experience like no other. Until now, though, Carbonated drinks are rarely paired with outdoor adventures—after all, the empty containers only add unnecessary weight with nowhere to dispose of them. Meanwhile, traditional home soda makers are far too bulky to carry on the go. That’s why Explore Gears created the ultra-light, backcountry-proof Soda Maker, a precision-machined device that snaps onto your trusty Nalgene and turns plain water into thirst-quenching bubbles in just three seconds.

Why Carbonate in the Wild?

Hydration is non-negotiable, but plain water can start to feel like a chore when you’re cranking out miles day after day. A little fizz provides a psychological lift that keeps you drinking, staves off palate fatigue, and makes camp cuisine feel downright gourmet. With the Soda Maker in your hip-belt pocket, you can keep electrolytes or natural flavor drops bubbling on demand—no sugar bombs, no plastic waste, no extra weight.

Feather-Weight Design, Mountain-Grade Durability

At only 2.8 oz (79 g), the Soda Maker is lighter than an energy bar yet tough enough for expedition abuse. Both the cap and adapter are milled from aerospace-grade aluminum, then anodized for food safety and corrosion resistance. Sand, snow, and salt spray brush right off. Drop it in the scree? A quick rinse and you’re back to bottling bubbles—all without compromising the rugged ethos that defines Explore Gears hardware.

Nalgene-Adapted, Adventure-Ready

  • Seamless Wide-Mouth Fit – Threads match standard 32 oz Nalgene bottles, forming a leak-proof seal every time.
  • Universal CO₂ Compatibility – The CNC-machined adapter accepts common threaded 16 g cartridges, so you can resupply almost anywhere hikers fuel up.
  • Future-Proof – Variants for popular metal and soft bottles are in the works, ensuring your favorite vessel will soon sparkle too.

Three Steps to Trail-Side Fizz

  1. Twist the cap onto your filled Nalgene.
  2. Press the CO₂ cartridge into the adapter until you hear the tell-tale hiss (about three seconds for optimal bite).
  3. Elevate your hydration—swirl gently, crack the lid, and enjoy an instant soda that rivals anything from the tap.

No pumps, no batteries, no learning curve. If you can screw on a lid, you can run the Soda Maker.

Ultralight Ethos, Max Flavor

Gram-counters and luxury-campers rarely agree on gear, but the Soda Maker bridges the gap. Minimalists appreciate its negligible weight; comfort seekers treasure café-quality carbonation miles from the road.

Because it leverages the bottle already in your pack, every ounce works double duty—carry water by day, create bubbles by sunset.

Tips for Optimal Bubbles

  • Chill first. Cold water absorbs CO₂ better, so dunk your Nalgene in a snowbank or mountain stream for peak fizz.
  • Angle matters. Holding the bottle at a 45-degree tilt increases contact with the water and prevents gas from racing straight to the headspace.
  • Short presses. Two half-second bursts often produce tighter bubbles than a single long blast, conserving cartridges.
  • Keep cartridges warm. Gas expands better when the metal canister isn’t freezing cold; stash it in a jacket pocket before carbonating.
