Made from abrasion- and tear-resistant polyurethane, it features a Secure SlideLock mechanism that slides both directions and creates a perfect seal Read More
Just bought one of these via Amazon ($28.95 and received a day later).
Upon inspection it seems like well made and should work well as my primary water bladder. Haven’t yet gotten to use it in the wild.
Has anyone owned one of these? I need another 3L reservoir but I'm concerned about that channel on the side of the bag where the tube connects at the top. It looks like it might be difficult to clean.
kayeqlThat is actually removable, and easy to clean. I got one, and am very pleased with it. No bad taste as I've had with other popular brands I have used. I couldn't help but notice that at the beginning of the season REI had a big stock of these and of the Osprey. Last time I was there, all the Big Evo's were gone, and the Osprey's hadn't moved. I think people are finding out these are superior, and word is traveling. Just my speculation, and YMMV, but I am very happy. If I hadn't gotten in on this deal, knowing what I know now after using one of them for some months, I would happily pay full price at a retailer to replace older, lesser bladders.
