Review on πŸ’¦ Source Hydration Bladder WXP - 3L (100oz) Water Bladder with High Flow Storm Valve" by Jason Arkin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

That thing looks like an air raid shelter!

What a great bottle! Received this today in a 3L model and I love it. I have owned and used many other cameras over the years (namely "Camelbak") and I really have had no complaints about them. But this product from "Source" is a step forward in my opinion. The material that makes up the bladder appears to be extremely strong and durable. The wide opening at the top is perfect for cleaning, drying and adding ice (I've filled and emptied it several times to check for leaks). Also, the latch/handle covering the top opening is durable and easy to manipulate. The small spout is ideal for filling on the go when the hydration bladder is in the holder. I don't particularly like the bite valve, but I wasn't planning on using it anyway. Which brings me to the best part of this bubble. The QMT (Quick Mate Technology) using "Source" is the SAME size as the QLT "Camelbak" (Quick Link Technology). " Straws (which I customized for my specific purposes). That way I can still use the "Camelbak" mouthpiece/bite valve that I prefer. Also this thing feels very stiff as if I could expect it to last quite a while with proper care I'm actually planning on buying a second one just as a spare. Plus to say I highly recommend this system! Thanks again "The Source" for the quality product!

Pros
  • Patented 2-stroke Storm valve requires no tie-in, provides 25% more flow than tie-in design. Integrated check valve
