Staying hydrated when you’re exploring the great outdoors or the backcountry can be easier said than done depending where you are. Carrying more water is certainly an option, but that’s going to weigh you down and run out eventually. Fontus is a Vienna-based startup that has a solution that’s as elegant as it is ingenious. They created two water bottles that make water out of light and air using proprietary technology and solar energy. Ryde attaches to your bike frame to gather water on the go, and Airo is the hand held / backpack option with a solar panel wrapped around it. Both bottles capture condensation at a rate of up to 0.8L per hour in the right conditions.
