3L Hydration Bladder: Leakproof Water Storage Bag for Hiking, Camping & Cycling - 3 Liter Reservoir with Insulated Sleeve, Perfect Replacement for Backpacks Review

I love that it comes with a cleaning kit with a long straw brush. The backpack was not cheaply made, the material was thick and very resistant to damage. My only complaint is that the cap that goes on the mouthpiece to keep it clean keeps falling off and won't stay closed. So if I put my backpack on a rock in Canyonlands, sandstone dust gets on the mouthpiece. The return policy was short and when I got home it was too late to send it back so I was stuck with a broken bladder bag.

I like this bubble BUT I quickly realized I had a problem! First, the wonderful aspects are easy to fill. Easy to deflate and clean/dry, there is a bar to keep my pack upright, an insulated and easy to use hydration tube (see instructions for use as the tube has an open/closed aspect). I quickly realized why I couldn't use it. I can't open it to empty my bladder after a hike! If you don't tighten it to the max it will lick, but if you do it will take a gorilla to open it! I wish they would…

Works but is clumsy and leaking. It spilled when it was first filled. Too many parts and parts to break. Sometimes when you remove the dust cap, the entire machine will come off and start splashing water. The spacer cap is too big to fit through the loops on the tube of my pack. I quite hate it but I think you pay for what you get. Gave 2 stars because I like the idea of a detachable hose, but I'm sure things will go wrong at some point. Follow-up: The company keeps harassing me via email…

First, the dust cap didn't stay closed and was too big to fit through the hose loops. I had to cut it to fit :/ Second, it leaks. Something is wrong with the pressure. The manual says patience when screwing and now, after only 2 months of weekly use, I understand why. If you don't install the gasket properly, it will leak. Sometimes it takes over 20 minutes and also causes 2 big leaks after testing. It's not good when I'm in a hiking area and I'm dealing with water everywhere. I missed the…

I bought this tank to replace my Camelback. The old adage still applies today: you get what you pay for. The hydration reservoir did fit in my Camelback outer pack, but it just wasn't the right quality. The large lid was fine but had to be very tight to prevent leakage. The hose connections were the opposite of Camelback, so I couldn't use the original hose. The bite valve was small and really had to be bitten down to allow water to flow. I really didn't like what to push in to stop/pull out…

First let me tell you what I like about him. The capacity is great, 3L is great if you're out on a hot day. The dust cap on the bite valve should be included with every hydration bladder. Wide filler cap for easy cleaning and refilling. The insulated tubing performs as it should and is easily removed to make it easier to pull the tubing through holes and loops. Finally, it's durable and won't leak if the filler cap is installed correctly. About not so good things. The filler cap is difficult to

Upgraded my 2L hydration pack to 3L with insulated tubing. The old 2 liter hose was not insulated and had problems with the water freezing if I forgot to blow the water back out during a shoe show. In the summer, 2L was only enough for longer day trips (8+ miles). So far, six months of use from winter hiking to summer hiking has held up well. Make sure the big fill is set and secured after filling, otherwise you'll get a nice cool shower while bending over, :-P. The detachable hose is great…

I have a Camelbak that I have owned for almost ten years but the seals eventually evaporated and it started leaking. I've been trying to find just gaskets but no one sells them. It seems strange but I think Camelbak would prefer you to just buy a brand new backpack. Anyway, I also thought it would be nice to have more water for longer hikes and my initial bladder was 70 oz. Being 100 ounces it fits the bill but barely fits in my camelbak. It works, but it's not perfect. I like the big, grippy…

I wanted it to work, I really did. But unfortunately, it failed to cope with one of its key functions. And that turned out to be a design flaw, not a problem with the individual product. This is a wide refill opening. The good first: The balloon itself: big, strong, reliable. The tube worked exactly as it should. The bite valve does exactly what it's supposed to do. Price: very competitive. But it's a big hole... The problem seems to be the threads on the lid and the hole they are designed to…
