We ordered these for our latest camping adventure and they performed perfectly. No leaks, suctions tubes worked great and are the perfect length for us, and they seem to be of good quality. A note to anyone who uses water bladders, when storing in between uses, it is recommended to place the totally empty bladder in the freezer to prevent mold/mildew growth.

I bought this hydro pack bladder to replace the Ozark Trail one we have and it was the perfect fit. The mouth piece is easier to use and a lot softer. It doesn’t leak at all and it holds the full amount of water. It’s great and we will use it every year for Bonnaroo!

It performed great and is a good budget option, so if cost is your priority, its flaws can be overlooked. I docked a star because it is awkward and somewhat challenging to fill because there is no handhold at the bottom of the opening like other hydration bladders. You also can't disconnect the hose to allow it to dry; the mouthpiece disconnects but there is still moisture trapped in the hose after days of drying. That said, it's sturdy, easy to drink from with no leaks.

I use this during traveling an walking tours as it saves on having to buy water and to stay hydrated when it was hot. We loved this and even full was not heavy for the backpack. Only thing is that if you put anything other than water and leave it, its going to get mold and you will need a wire cleaning pip to properly clean and dry. so Only water or same day wash for any other drink.

Doesn't leak :) Not sure how people are complaining that they can only fill it up to like 1.5L. It is a bit tricky to hold while filling due to no big lip like on camelbacks but for 9 bucks, no complaints at all! When filling let the bladder rest at about a 40 degree angle and twist the cap on before lifting it up, simple!

Used the hydration bladder during a recent Grand Canyon rim to rim hiking. The unit is convenient to put it inside the backpack, but I found it's difficult to get the water out of the spout. I had to use my hands to squeeze water out which is not a very good idea given the hands are dusty and sweaty during a long hike. I am not sure whether there are better techniques to drink water from the unit. I suggest the manufacturer or the distributor provide very good quality video illustrating how to drink water from this hydration unit.

Good size water bladder for cycling trips. Fits in backpack and holds enough water for a long ride. Good design to keep it clean. Step son really likes it.

Used for an anime convention with my son. Easy to fill and keeps water inside. Easy to clean was a nice bonus!
