HydraPak Force (2L Or 3L Hydration Reservoir) - Ultra-Durable Water Bladder for Hydration Pack – Insulated Tube & Dust Cover, Self-Sealing Bite Valve, Leak Proof, Fully Reversible Dishwasher Safe

Aaaaaamazing

This does everything it says it does. Having previously had a cheap bladder the difference is astounding. I’m using it in the laptop section of my Osprey day pack & it works a dream. The bladder is so easy to fill (single handed). Even more importantly, it is amazingly easy to clean & dry - I’ve added a ribbon on the bottom & hang upside down with the plastic top clip inside the bladder mouth to keep it open. This means I’ve had no issues with mould. Despite some of the reviews, I have not have any problem with the taste of the water - yes the mouthpiece is silicon but it’s medical grade, flavourless & I’m not eating the mouthpiece. The insulated straw works well preventing the water heating up too much. The only things that would make it better are 1. if the straw was 2-3” longer &/or 2. if it came with magnetic clips to attach to backpack strap. I have to turn my head slightly to reach the mouthpiece by the time I’ve clipped it to the backpack straps.

Took it on a 6 week offroad motorcycle adventure. It performed very well and kept me hydrated nearly every day.
