Hydration Bladder 2L Leakproof 2 Liter Water Reservoir, BPA Free Military Green Water Storage Bladder Bag with Insulated Tube, Hydration Backpack Replacement for Outdoor Hiking Camping Running Cycling

Product Information

Covers are especially useful for keeping your valve from freezing, but they also protect against dirt and other debris. Location restraints built into the seem to keep the bladder in place within a backpack or secure to a location. The Hydration Bladder tube is compatible with the Pure Clear® LifeFilter® which can be attached to the Hydration Bladder to enable the water to be filtered, meaning the Hydration Bladder can be filled from any outdoor water source. Combined with a new front handle, the full-width opening makes filling, pouring, and cleaning a breeze (we prefer it to round-mouthed reservoirs), and offers a reliably watertight seal via a minimalist slider. The DromLite Bag is a simple yet tough reservoir with a hang loop on one end and a 3-in-1 twist cap on the other.

Some reservoirs include a drink tube that disconnects from the hydration bladder’s body, making it easier to refill. Of course, it’s good to keep expectations low with off-brand gear: The Cherainti likely won’t last as long as the more premium bladders here, and the components certainly don’t feel as high end. You can disconnect your tube and keep it in the freezer between uses which prevents any bacteria gunk build up. If you are seeking a lightweight bladder that reduces the "slosh" factor when moving over terrain, we heartily recommend the Shape-Shift. The Platypus Big Evo Zip also has a more narrow opening and connected baffle that makes manual cleaning a bit more difficult.p>To access finance with Payment Assist, you’ll need to have a web enabled device with you at point of purchase. To top it off, the openings on these bladders are wide enough to get your hand inside if you need to give it a good scrub. Minor shortcomings aside, this hydration bladder offers the best insulative properties of any model we tested thus far and is our recommendation for those who are in super cold places or like to keep their water cold in the heat.

Additionally, while hiking with the HydraPak HydraSleeve in the desert, we loaded it up with ice-cold water. Hydration bladders feature a flexible plastic design, making them easily maneuverable to fit inside your backpack, allowing for more much-needed storage space. But don’t read into it too much: The Crux is a durable and easy-to-use hydration bladder and one of our consistent go-tos for hiking, backpacking, and mountain biking.

Just pop it into your rucksack, route the hose to a suitable position for drinking from and off you go. The quick-disconnect fitting is also important if you plan to use an inline water filter (such as the CamelBak Reservoir Filter Kit)—the filter plugs into the port on your bladder, and the hose plugs into the filter, routing water from the bladder, through the filter, and into the hose. While the HydraSleeve might have a fighting chance in keeping your water from turning to ice in sub-freezing conditions (thanks to the insulated bladder), the Force shouldn’t be confused for a cold-weather choice.
