Hydration Bladder, 1.5-2-3L Water Bladder for Hiking Backpack, BPA-Free Leak Proof Water Reservoir Storage Bag, Water Pouch Hydration Pack for Camping Cycling Running

First i cleaned the bladder with the bleach and water solution, not adding the baking soda, and then rinsed it with water. Next i used dishwashing liquid and water to remove/rerinse out the previous solution. I let the bleach solution soak for approximately 13 minutes and the soap solution soak for an hour or so. I used the bleach and water solutions to rinse the hosing, by the gravity effect.First run was today and i did five miles and it held up well l, no leakage. This is not my first bit and sip tubing so that part was as usual.It fin in the pack just as the original one had. All in all as of today i am satisfied.I am thinking i will put three bottles of water in on the next run, not due to running out of water (never ran out of water on any of my runs with the 2 liter bladder) but somehow i kinda like the weight of the camel pack while running.

I recently purchased this water bladder for my hiking trips and outdoor activities, and I’m absolutely thrilled with it! If you’re someone who enjoys outdoor adventures like hiking, cycling, or long walks, this water bladder is a must-have. It offers the perfect combination of convenience, durability, and efficiency.First and foremost, the capacity is perfect for longer trips. Whether I'm hiking for a few hours or doing a more extended adventure, the bladder holds just enough water to keep me hydrated without feeling bulky. The hose is long enough to make drinking while on the move super easy, and I love how I don’t have to stop or fumble with a water bottle when I need a sip. The bite valve on the end of the hose works smoothly and provides a steady stream of water with just a gentle bite. No leaks, no mess—just hydration when I need it most.The design is well-thought-out, and it’s clear that durability was a priority. The bladder is made of sturdy, BPA-free material that doesn’t affect the taste of the water, which is a huge plus. Even after multiple uses and being tossed around in my backpack, there’s no wear or tear, and it still feels as reliable as the first day I used it. The opening is wide enough to fill it easily, and cleaning is a breeze. I’ve found that it’s super easy to dry out after use, which prevents any unwanted mold or odors.One of the best features is the leak-proof design. I’ve used other hydration systems before, and the last thing you want is a leak in your backpack that ruins everything inside. This bladder has never leaked on me once, even when I’ve accidentally left the hose dangling in an awkward position. The seal on the bladder is tight, and the bite valve doesn’t drip, which gives me peace of mind when I’m out in the field.The overall comfort is another standout. The bladder is lightweight, and when it's placed in a hydration pack or backpack, it doesn’t create any additional bulk. It fits snugly without bouncing around, and I barely notice it’s there. The hose is easy to route through my pack, and the bite valve is conveniently located for one-handed sipping while on the move.In conclusion, I highly recommend this water bladder for anyone looking for a reliable hydration solution for outdoor activities. It’s well-built, durable, leak-proof, and incredibly convenient, making it a fantastic investment for anyone who spends time outdoors. Whether you're a hiker, cyclist, or just someone who enjoys a long walk in nature, this water bladder will keep you hydrated without the hassle of carrying and managing water bottles. It's definitely become an essential part of my gear!

It holds water well, doesn't leak, no plastic taste after an initial wash. BUT you have to have your jaw clenched to get water out and have to draw the water in pretty firmly. It isn't a steady stream as claimed, and while it is a decent limitation of name brand hydration bladders... The name brand is simply better. I returned and will be spending the money on something that works instead.

I use this in my GoRuck on long hikes. It's durable and easy to use. I've used it maybe 6 times with no issues. I fill it the night before and put it in the refrigerator, while it's not insulated specifically to keep drinks cold I find my water more enjoyable after 4 hours than if it wasn't refrigerated begin with. I find the cap and drinking spout easy to utilize while still moving. I've not had any leaks

I recently purchased this hydration bladder for a camping and hiking trip to Big Bend. I washed and tested it out before the trip and was pretty impressed with the quality of the materials and parts. It also comes with a spare O-ring for the tube connection which is nice. There was no pervasive smell or anything other than the usual new "plastic" smell that was gone after washing. And importantly, no plastic or chemical taste at all - just pure H2O. It fit and worked great in my REI daypack, carries a good amount of water, was easy to fill on-the-go with the big fill hole, had no leaking at all over several days of camping/hiking, and the bite-valve worked perfectly. Stupidly, I didn't realize it had an On/Off valve and couldn't figure out why the water stopped flowing halfway through my first hike. Turns out I had accidentally pushed the valve in and shut off the flow. So I can attest that this feature works :)So yeah, 2 notes I would share:1) the bite-valve pushes in/out to shut the flow off/on;2) to empty the tube of water after washing or using, disconnect the tube, hold it upside down with the bite-valve at the bottom, and just squeezed the bite valve to release all the water.Overall, the quality and functionality of this hydration bladder is excellent and feels premium. Worked flawlessly (other than my own human error) on multiple hikes in hot and rugged conditions. When you factor in the low price (I paid $9.97), I would highly recommend this to anyone.PROS:- Premium quality and materials- No smell or taste (after initial washing)- Large hole for easy washing and filling- No leaking- Bite-valve w/ dust cover and On/Off valve- Extras: Spare O-ring- Extras: Included camouflage buff (this actually came in handy on full sun hikes to protect the back of my neck)CONS:- None that I experienced or can think of

My husband loved this! He’s getting ready for his hunting trip and is super excited to use this

Took on my Spartan race. Held up great, no leaks, easy to fill, and lightweight. Very pleased
