Prometheus Design Werx releases their newest FT series water bottles, featuring a custom fluted body design which increases material strength and improves tactile grip when wet. These hold 950ml/32oz of liquidwhich is just about 1L, less a sip. Durable, food grade, copper lined 18/8 stainless-steel and vacuum sealed to keep drinks cold or hot, longer. As lifelong backpackers and dispersed campers, PDW prefers and chooses to design their bottles with a “lab-standard wide mouth” opening, which is easy to fill with ice, compatible with many popular backcountry water filters, as well as many aftermarket caps. The unique design of the FT water bottle series was inspired by vintage bicycle parts, deflective armor, industrial-tool handles, precision barrels, and vintage bicycle racing bottles from the 40s-50s.
The FT Insulated Water Bottles comes in a powered coated Wilderness Green, Mission Gray, and a brushed Stainless-Steel finish.
PDW’s Founder and Chief Designer Design states:
“When designing these water bottles, I simply looked around my workshop for the many industrial and tool inspirations surrounding me. From the vintage Campagnolo gruppo on one my bikes, tool-machine levers and handles, to precision barrels. Fluting on the water bottle bodies not only increase the tactile nature for gripping when wet but also increases the stiffness and resistance to deformation. We use only the best manufacturing processes, which includes adding the copper lining inside the vacuum walls for the best thermal efficiency, a food-grade 18-8 stainless steel body, and now includes a plastic-free stainless-steel cap as well as a nylon sport cap with flip-top.”
The FT Insulated Water Bottles will be available Wednesday, February 19th, 2025 at 12:00pm Pacific via their website, prometheusdesignwerx.com.

KOMENDA, SLOVENIA (12.02.2025)
UF PRO is unveiling a new campaign, Pro’s Guide to Tracking with Rangers and K9s, showcasing the critical role of tactical tracking in wildlife conservation and the efforts of those on the frontlines protecting endangered species.
The four-part series premieres on February 12, 2025, with new episodes airing weekly. It follows Boris Vos, former Royal Netherlands Marine and founder of LEAD Conservation, and his team as they track threats across south Africa’s challenging terrain. The goal? To demonstrate how tactical tracking, paired with K9 units, community collaboration, and cutting-edge technology like helicopters, plays a crucial role in safeguarding wildlife.
“It’s not just about the chase, it’s about making a real impact. This is about saving species from extinction,” says Vos. “We’re using our skills to track, catch, and top poachers—and we’re showing the world how tactical expertise can make the difference.”
Each episode will provide an inside look at the tools, techniques, and relentless drive of the team. From extreme heat to unforgiving terrain, this campaign is a tribute to the men and women using tactical tracking to protect wildlife, day in and day out.
To further the cause, UF PRO is launching the exclusive Ranger’s Band, with 100% of proceeds directly supporting LEAD Conservation, an organization dedicated to empowering wildlife rangers in Africa. These wristbands serve as a symbol of commitment to wildlife protection and to those risking everything to ensure endangered species survive.
“Wearing the wristband means you’re standing with us. You’re standing with the rangers, the trackers, the teams who are out there every day making sure that poaching doesn’t win,” Vos adds.
The campaign will run across social media channels and on the UF PRO website, providing updates and insights into how tactical tracking is helping shape the future of wildlife conservation.
For more information, visit the campaign’s website. To support the cause and make a difference, get a Ranger’s Band here.
