Review on Hydration Reservoir Flexible Military Replacement by Gary Lucas

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good Replacement Bladder

Similar in design to the Camelbak that I have owned for several years, this camera is inexpensive and easy to replace. After rinsing, the water is tasteless and the nozzle is detachable for easy cleaning. The kit includes a tube cleaning tool that helps prevent the build-up of bacteria in the bladder over time. The quality isn't as good as the original, but it's good enough that it doesn't run down my spine. The end nozzle locks to prevent water leakage and can be opened with your mouth to free your hands. Works well, opened it several times to loosen it a bit. The filling opening is large and easily accommodates full-size ice cubes. I have used filtered water with this bladder and the water tastes great. This tank fits in any backpack and is perfect for my old 2 liter tank which became gross after not using it for almost a year. There are no serious complaints, but I don't expect the quality to be the same as a branded device that costs over 3x the price.

Pros
  • BPA-FREE MATERIAL: The water bag is made from durable, military-grade BPA-free EVA material with no "plastic" smell or taste and has been proven to withstand rigorous testing. Double soldered, no cracks or breaks.
Cons
  • No instructions
