Review on 🚰 Stay Hydrated with the Badlands Insulated Hydration Reservoir and Drinking Tube by Hco Cortes

I've had platypus and camel backpacks, but none were as good as this one. Camel backs were difficult (or impossible) to thoroughly clean. I liked the platypus but they were hard and one of them was licking. But that was after several years of use, so no particular complaints. But for the price, nothing beats this Badlands bubble. It is very durable. My friend accidentally got caught on a hose sticking out of the top of my backpack and ended up pulling it out of the truck. Turned the tank inside the backpack upside down with the entire weight of the backpack supported by the hose. No damage or leaks to bladder or plug and play connector. Very easy to clean and dry. LOVE the wide-open cap for filling and cleaning. After washing, I just stick an empty soda bottle in the open end and hang it upside down. Bone dry by morning. Good that you can remove the hose for cleaning. The bite valve is easy to use and will not leak even in the "on" position. I didn't even find it necessary to turn it off. For example an attached cap to close off the bite valve in dusty/dirty environments. I bought the 3L size for longer hikes, but often only fill it 1/3 or 1/2 full for day trips. Very diverse.
