Review on Source Outdoor Hydration Reservoir Transparent by Shane Palma

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Best in Outdoor Camping

The wide open end of the chamber makes it very easy to clean and dry after use. It is much better than other screw cap brands. However, tube drying, like others, is still a problem. A nice design improvement would be easy-to-remove fittings that let air through to speed up drying. The quick connector at the end of the hydration bladder is very easy to use. The dust cap on the drinking end keeps it clean. And the opening bite valve keeps you dry. I used to use specific moisturizing products like this, but this is the first one I've bought to fit in my backpack. What I didn't think of is that it's impossible to know how much water you have left without taking it out of your backpack. I found that I was limiting my water intake so I wouldn't run out by the end of the trail. This applies to every brand. Maybe I'll get used to it, or maybe I'll just go back to my Nalgene bottles.
