SilverAnt X 5Athlon Nomads Trails

SilverAnt X 5Athlon Nomads Trails Titanium Gear

Hi, we are Peyman and Sailor from Finland. I am a professional wilderness guide from Finland who has cycled 55,000 km around the globe and has completed many different adventures.

Sailor is also from Finland, has worked as a personal trainer, and graduated from the Finnish Defence University. She was working in the Navy and now she has been working in the Finnish Coast Guard for the last 9 years.  When she is off from work she is eager to complete her next adventure project. 

For years we have struggled to find good water bottles. I had to throw away 6 different plastic (food-safe) water bottles while cycling in Africa because the plastic started to smell horrible after prolonged use in the elements. This ended when we came across these 1.5-liter water bottles from SilverAnt.

We have daily used these titanium water bottles for the last 3 years. They are well made, work in all environments regardless of the conditions, and their quality is top-notch.  

But you must be asking why these titanium bottles?

Here are our core reasons:
1. Titanium bottles will literally last forever. They do not get rusty and you need to smash with a hammer to break them.
2. Titanium is lighter compared to stainless steel.
3. These are easy to clean. Because of the high melting temperature of titanium, you can throw these into the fire and the heat will clean them, or simply boil water inside. You can't do this with plastic and you can't throw the steel bottle on fire the same as titanium.
4. You don't drink any microplastics with these bottles.
5. Works as a pot! Basically, you can use it for boiling water, tea, and coffee. You save weight and space by carrying one pot.
6. I don't know anywhere else you can get this capacity titanium bottle. I have asked SilverAnt for a 2-liter version and fingers crossed 2025 is the year!

As someone whose outdoor life is not their hobby but their lifestyle, we need to have equipment that can handle daily use for years and harsh conditions. So because of all these reasons we are using these titanium bottles and titanium gear on our current 5 Athlon expedition from NordKapp in Norway to South Africa.
 
The Nomads Trails 5 Athlon expedition is a mixture of Skiing, Running, Swimming, Cycling, and Sailing all the way from Nord Kapp in Norway to South Africa starting from the middle of Jan 2025.

The next item we use is the 750ml titanium cup with bail. This is our favorite cup! It has a bail handle (easy to hand or pick up from a fire), you can boil water in it, make coffee, drink from it, and make your porridge in it too.

It's an incredibly useful titanium cup that we have also used for years. BTW the large water bottles fit in this cup pretty well ;) 

The collaborative logo you see on the bottle and cup is our logo from this challenge.

We need to mention this is the first time in history such a challenge is being attempted and this titanium gear with these logos will only be available till the end of the 5 Athlon challenges.

Lastly, by ordering this special edition titanium gear you directly support the 5 Athlon Expedition. 

Much love

Peyman and Sailor

How does this collaboration between Nomads Trails and SilverAnt Outdoors benefit the 5 Athlon Expedition?

👉 By ordering this special edition titanium gear, you directly support our 5 Athlon Expedition. The funds raised help us continue this challenging adventure that blends skiing, running, swimming, cycling, and sailing across two continents. For every order we receive a significant share of the sale that helps us continue this expedition.

Why did you choose SilverAnt titanium gear for the 5 Athlon expedition?

👉 We needed gear that can endure daily use in harsh environments. SilverAnt’s titanium gear is lightweight, durable, rust-proof, and multipurpose, which makes it ideal for our expedition. After three years of daily use, we can confidently say their quality is unmatched.

What makes titanium better than other materials for outdoor gear?

👉 Titanium is incredibly lightweight yet strong. It doesn't rust, can withstand extreme temperatures (you can even put it in the fire), and it doesn’t leach harmful substances like microplastics. Plus, its longevity means you won’t have to replace it often.

How does using this gear reduce environmental impact?

👉 Titanium gear lasts a lifetime, reducing the need for frequent replacements. It eliminates the risk of ingesting microplastics, which is a common issue with plastic water bottles. This makes it a sustainable choice for eco-conscious adventurers.

Can you tell us more about the titanium water bottles and cups in this series?

👉 Absolutely! We use a 1.5-liter titanium water bottle and a 750ml titanium cup with a bail handle. The bottle is perfect for carrying large amounts of water and doubles as a pot for boiling water. The cup is versatile for cooking and drinking, and both items are lightweight and easy to clean.

What specific features do these titanium water bottles have?

👉 The bottles come in two designs: a narrow mouth and a wide mouth, both with a 1.5-liter capacity. They are incredibly lightweight, weighing just around 258g to 298g. The narrow mouth design has a lid diameter of 54mm, while the wide mouth is 68mm, allowing for easy filling and cleaning.

How long will the SilverAnt X 5Athlon titanium gear be available?

👉 This special edition gear will only be available until the end of the 5 Athlon challenges. After that, it will no longer be produced, making it a unique collector’s item that also serves as a testament to this historic adventure.

Is the gear suitable for all types of outdoor adventures?

👉 Yes, the titanium gear is versatile and perfect for various outdoor activities. Whether you're hiking, camping, cycling, or skiing, it’s designed to withstand tough conditions and provide practical functionality like boiling water or cooking food directly in bottles or cups.

How can we follow and support your journey during the 5 Athlon Expedition?
