Review on 💧 Hydrapak Shape-Shift 2L Reservoir: Optimal Hydration Solution for Outdoor Adventures by John Rivera

I have HydraPak 2L and 3L; They are almost identical except that 3L is longer. I use them for trail running and hiking and am pretty picky about my gear. The point of the HydraPak for me is that the closure is absolutely secure. It is almost impossible to collect the bladder and not seal it properly. No thread has to be crossed, no O-ring wears out. Unless your HydraPak has been punctured you can rest assured that it will hold water and not leak, and that really is all that matters. I really can't stress enough how important this one feature is - if you think it isn't, wait until the misthreaded fastener pours water in your pack. However, it does have the following issues, which individually don't matter much but add a star to the trigger: - The Reshape divider is rigid and difficult to open and close. In fact, you'll probably pick your preferred configuration and just stick with it. Technically, this is reversible; Again, in practice, this is quite a hassle, and it's unlikely that you'll be doing this very often. Luckily I don't know why you need it unless you've let it rot for a month and mold got into it. The bodice is more than large enough to fit a grown man's hand. The hose is suitable for running because it is light and easy to bite into. It lacks the insulation or dust protection badly needed when hiking. The suspension system is on the lower level. Seriously guys, just pop the standard hook into the clip, don't pretend hanging the bladder on the attachment loop is an additional accessory.
