Bought these to replace in our hydration hiking backpacks. LOVE them. Love them more than the bags that originally came with them

These are great. No leaks. No bad taste. Ease to fill and clean out. Would definitely buy it again.

Better bladders than the ones they replaced.

I have had this for a year and still using the first bladder (blue one). I use primarily on the longest runs (15 miles or more) with AONIJIE Hydration Vest Backpack 5L. Impressed that no leaks developed so far. However, I do find though - and especially when I used for the first time in a marathon this month - that the flow is slower and more difficult to suck than desired, especially when I am pushing my limits already in terms of effort, breathing, etc in a marathon. So if the tube were large diameter and one could get a bigger gulp or two rather than trying to suck so many times to get quick larger sips at once, it would be ideal. Other approaches Kureida might try is to provide compression sock of sorts around the tube so that it has a small amount of pressure (so again, one doesn't have to suck as hard and the flow is there) or perhaps use larger diameter tubing. I was unable to find Kureida's contact info to provide this feedback. By the way, one key learning too: after filling but before a run, bleed out the air by turning upside down and sucking the air out. Otherwise, running with the bladder and a big pocket of air results a lot of fluid sloshing around and makes the bladder bounce around on your back. If you bleed it out first, the bladder will settle fairly quickly after .5 miles and you forget it is there. So again, harder to use when under duress but I expect to use more for extended bike rides.

When I needed to replace the bladder for my hydration pack, I looked a LOTS of them. Many were nearly the same price with seemingly identical construction. Then I happened on this version. It comes in a 2 pack for basically the same price as the others for a single. While I did not really need two at this point, a spare is always a good idea, right? This version has insulation around the drinking tube which minimizes that burst of very warm water when you start to drink. There was no discernable taste added to the water and they seem to be well constructed. I fouond this to be a great replacement and a very good value.

I bought a hydration backpack as a last second solution to a last minute problem. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a lot of time to research, or understanding of what I was buying and went cheap. The backpack itself was fine, if not perfect, but the bladder was awful. After the fact, I did a little research and shopping, and found the KUREIDA 2 pack bladders. These have been a perfect solution. The wider mouth, detachable hose, and better bite valve have made all the difference, both from a use and cleaning stand point. The backpack purchase I initially thought was a mistake, is now a valued tool, thanks to the KUREIDA bladder. I have told my friends, all of whom made the same backpack purchase, how much better these work. Would buy again, if necessary. Though they seem to be durable, so I won’t need to replace them for a while.

These hydration bladders are amazing! They fit my Sojourner bag perfectly and have little to no taste at all. My previous hydration bladder that came with the Sojourner bag was undrinkable.I washed and checked both bags for any leakage and they were both in great condition. The screw opening is large and makes it very easy to fill with ice and my hand fits in easily to clean. I like to fill it by keeping the opening flat and, if possible, the rest of the bladder should also lay somewhat flat. I found that this way allows you to fill it as much as possible and it definitely fits 2L of water.The fact that it came as a 2-pack makes it all the more worth it. The tubes have a neoprene type layer over it for insulation, but I feel like it didn't do much in helping my water stay cool from the sun. It didn't really bother me or anything though, I just blow the water back into the bladder when I'm done taking a sip.Overall, great hydration bladders for a great price.
