Review on πŸ’¦ The Ultimate CamelBak HydroBak Hydration Pack 50 oz: Stay Hydrated on-the-go! by Klassic Duncan

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Pretty good, but not great

I love camel fillet products and this is my third. I bought the old 100 ounce deluxe version and a smaller (50 ounce) bladder for my kid to make her stop stealing mine. i like them both I bought this one because I wanted a new one for the summer and all mine were boxed. Good things about it: I love the mesh straps. I like being able to fill it without taking it out of the box. Material: I don't like the new mouthpiece. The angle doesn't fit as well or as deep in my mouth as the 90Β° valve. Fixable but annoying. The toggle switch is difficult to operate but can become loose. It feels like it won't hold up much. It doesn't seem to last as much compared to the other 50 ounces I have and it only took me 2-3 hours to sip it while sitting on the couch with it empty. I would drain it during an hour long walk or workout. Filling is a kind of pain. I can fill my other bladders directly from the dispenser in the fridge, either with ice or water. It has a big tip so it splashes and spills everywhere. I have to use a jug to fill it up and having only done it twice it's annoying. The pipe clamp cannot be used. I can't even put a tube in it, let alone exercise or anything. The bag is very small. My phone doesn't fit (Galaxy S7). The top handle is a shoelace. I like it enough to keep it, but I think I'll pass it on to my kid and buy another one.
