Review on BPA & PVC Free Camping Hydration Reservoir Bag - HydraPak Seeker Collapsible Water Storage by Alejandro Wolf

I would give 4 stars if it weren't for the taste of plastic. Something seems to be leaching from the container into the water. I've left water in it for days to see if it would eventually stop, but it really hasn't. I've done this 3 times now at home nevermind that I've backpacked with it about 3 times so far. I think it's gotten better, but it's still there. I'm disappointed. Maybe I need to try a new one. Don't think I can send this back at this point.Ok, the above issue aside, it's a great bag when combined with a BeFree filter. The filter is 5 stars because of it's increased flow over the Sawyer products. So I don't want to confuse ratings here. In other words, the Hydrapak is great because the size of the mouth works with the BeFree filter. So I don't want to give it a higher rating just because it works with the BeFree. Or should I? Sooo many decisions.Actually, I really do like the bag because the combination of this bag along with the BeFree means I don't need the Sawyer squeeze combo that I think is a giant pain in the rear. All that squeezing! With this combo, when I need water, I simply squeeze it out of the bag (hard to explain here, but there's much much less of the annoying squeezing required versus the sawyer combo). You don't feel like you're really filtering water. In my opinion, it's a leap forward in filtering water. Just have to try it I guess. No, I didn't get anything free or work for any of these companies. I just love talking about backpacking gear. And buying it too. I have to be careful, it's just too easy to get something in 2 days with Prime.
