Review on 💧 Hydrapak HydraSleeve - Insulated Water Bladder Sleeve for Hydration Backpacks, 3-Liter (100 oz.), Shape-Shift Design, High Flow Bite Valve, Reliable & Safe by Shalom Germann

I really like this bubble and use it daily. It keeps the water really cold on hot days, it's strong and durable, and best of all, the water doesn't taste like drinking from a hose, which I've never experienced with water bladders. The top folds up like a dry bag and you have to fold the outer shell to fill it, which takes a little more effort than the camelback so you'll have to do this a few times before it becomes a chore. The reviewers who complain about water leaking out when you connect a hose to a full water bladder seem to forget that this can happen with any bag and I wonder why anyone would do such a stupid thing. I'm mostly happy with mine and would buy again, especially if they used more matching colors. My only issue with this bladder is the bite valve. While it works great, for some reason they went with a teal that I hate and doesn't belong in the desert. It catches my attention while hiking and annoyingly collides with the surroundings. I'm having trouble finding a suitable replacement as the hose is a bit wider than most. If it wasn't for the bite valve I would give five stars. But turquoise blue with less flashy colors? What did you think?
