Review on 🎒 N NEVO RHINO 10L Hydration Backpack with 2/3L Water Bladder - Ideal for Hiking and Cycling by Scott Goff

I bought this hydration pack with 3L reservoir in mid-April to embark on a long trip to the US with multiple visits to the In - and abroad to prepare state parks. Because of the many hikes in hot weather, I needed a reliable source of hydration. Unfortunately this is not the right product. I checked the bladder system at home and everything is fine. However, the bladder did not survive the first test under real conditions. In Canyonlands, Utah, when it was over 100 degrees, two things happened: (1) The intake end was punctured within minutes. It still worked and didn't leak, so I used it all day. (2) At the end of the day, back at the hotel when trying to refill my bladder, I couldn't remove the bladder occlusion. The hard plastic handle/seal doesn't move at all and it looks like it's fused (I don't think it's possible, but actually I can't move it at all, and yes I'm doing it in the right direction.): I'm at the start of a number of hikes without this key component of my hydration system (thankfully I have reserves, although I'll be missing a hydration pack/water bag and it's outside of the return window, so I'm out knowing the vast majority of reviews are positive). (that's why I bought this item!) but based on my experience I can't recommend this product with one star from me.
