While it is beautifully designed and would be perfect as a water reservoir in my glider, the obnoxious smell and taste that permeates the water from the bladder, makes it unusable.I washed multiple times then alternatively left plain water, then soapy water overnight, to absorb it. I repeated, day after day after day. Still smelly. Then I tried cranberry juice, soaked for 24 hours hoping to get rid of it. No luck.The water still taste of bladder and leaves a weird feeling on my tongue and in my throat.Perhaps another case of designers getting too fancy and overlooking the obvious - using a bladder that doesn't smell or leave the water tasting funny.A real shame. I really wanted this, needed it, and was so looking forward to it making my flights easier.

Ich nutze Camelbacks schon seit mehr als 15 Jahren - die ersten kamen damals aus den USA und waren technisch gesehen sehr einfach gehalten und schwiering zu reinigen. Heute findet man große Schraubdeckel und Klickverscglüsse vor, die die Reinigung dieser Trinkblasen eindeutig vereinfachen. Mit dieser Trinkblase findet man eine Version vor, die leicht in die gängigen Rucksäcke zu integrieren ist - also genau das, was ich gesucht habe.Klare Weiterempfehlung!

Excelente

Muy buena calidad

Got a great deal and went for this over 2L version. The insulated cover keeps drinks very cold. This is perfect if you have a large rucksack and need a lot of water (although a bit too big for a day pack if that’s what you would use it for - 1 to 2L is a better option). Still, very good quality though
