Review on Hydration Pack Water Bladder Cooler by John Vann

I bought this for a 5000 mile motorcycle ride in California. Liter. I carefully unscrewed the lid, turned everything upside down to make sure everything was right and sealed, and placed it in an insulating bag. I didn't thread the tubing through the top, instead letting it dangle from the side of the valve. I then tied the bungee bag to the back of my Goldwing with the tubing hanging down the left side. I was able to easily reach down and back with my left hand to remove the cap (or use my teeth to grab and remove the cap). ), then bite the mouthpiece and suck out the water. If it was very hot, I would hold the mouthpiece for a few seconds to drain the water. I could drink with an open or closed modular helmet. I was even able to let go of my left hand and take a long, slow sip for several minutes. The pouch gave a strong plastic taste for the first 8 or 9 refills so I made it at home before the trip, let it full overnight, drained, repeat. It still leaves a tiny plastic taste trail, but if the water is cold enough you won't even notice it. And if you're thirsty enough, you certainly don't care.
