Review on ๐ŸŽ’ Mazama Backflip: Tasteless & BPA-Free Reservoir for Backpacks - 2L & 3L Sizes by Jimmy Koroye

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good reservoir but needs an overhaul

This is a good hydration reservoir that helped me stay hydrated while hiking in southern Utah last month. As you know, Utah is very dry and it is important to always drink water when you are outside. The packaging itself is well done. The quality is good with lots of great features like an on/off switch and a bite valve. There is a slide closure on the lid which is great, I have had several hydration packs that have screw closures and at times they were difficult to open. Washed once and ready to use. I noticed that it took longer to dry than my other backpacks. So be aware and wash it at least a week before you want to use it. A few things I didn't like about this tank: the included magnet isn't strong enough and I've found the mouthpiece to wobble a lot of times. I noticed several times that when I put my bag on the floor, the mouthpiece jumped out and stayed on the floor. Other tanks I've had came with hooks that I could easily hook onto the shoulder straps and they were secure. I also wish it had a larger neck so I can hold it securely while stuffing. It also needs some sort of hook to keep it upright in your pocket or backpack. If Mazama can solve these problems, this good tank will go BIG.

Pros
  • IMPROVED BITE VALVE: Our hydraulic BACKFLIP chamber features a patented high-flow bite valve so you get water when you need it; And with a one-handed shut-off button and super-magnetic closure, you can rest assured that your water is always available and within reach.
Cons
  • Long Shipment
