Review on πŸŽ’ Mazama Tumalo Hydration Pack with 2 or 3L Reservoir, Water Bladder - USA Made, Taste-Free & BPA-Free Film by Mike Snedeker

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Exceptional quality and customer care

After about 2 months of use every weekend, I think it's worth a rating: What I liked: a. The overall quality and materials are above average. Stripes, elastics, stitching, etc. are particularly good and seem to last a long time. On the backpack you will find some high-quality details, such as: B. the elastic band around the zippers and a small hole in the bottom of the backpack to drain water in case of a leak or to facilitate washing.b. The size is perfect for me (3L).c. The air bladder does not leak and stays stable inside the backpack. The magnetic clip is good for light hikes if you adjust the clip a bit (I had to slide it down). But on a bike street it doesn't work very well because of your posture. To do this I have to use a rubber band (included) on the pole to keep the valve in a comfortable position for me ie Maintains the water temperature for about 4 hours (in winter yes but I live in Florida). f. support works. I had an issue with the bladder occlusion clamps and the next day they replied to my email saying they would send me a new improved bladder. It looks like the new material they are using is thicker and will last. G. No leaks in line or valve. f. The bubble grip is a nice feature. This will help you add water and clean/dry. They have a small and smart accessory to keep the bladder open for drying but they send me a spare. I couldn't find one to buy on Amazon and it would be really nice if they included it with the product as a standard accessory. Disadvantages: a. My bladder clamps broke. They sent me a new one. Looks better and I'll update the review later if I find more issues. For now I'm leaving 5 stars.b. The valve has no cap. Since I ride gravel bikes and mountain bikes, a suitcase is essential. I had to buy and customize
