An innovative water vest is this year’s Diamond Award winner in the 2017 Dupont Awards for Packaging Innovation. The Fritz^TM Water Vest from Solutions Inc., utilizes current packaging technologies, creating a product that is potentially life changing to millions around the world.

The vest allows users to carry up to 20lb of water safely and hygienically with the weight evenly distributed across the chest and back.

The multi layer nylon structure provides a robust material suitable for rough terrain and multiple uses in dry and rugged environments. The proprietary lamination uses several layers for functional protection and allows for quick heat sealing during manufacturing. An additive included in the material inhibits the growth of mold, mildew and odours.  Together these properties provide a robust, hygienic and reusable water carrying pouch.
