highly recommended

I don't know how durable it is long term, but

It does what it says on the box, holds a lot of water, no plastic taste, and folds down to almost nothing when empty. I don't know if it fits in a standard hydration compatible pack (I don't have one), but I don't have any trouble tossing it in my pack with the tube sticking out through the zipper.

Nice size for a long day of exercise

This is a great large capacity bladder for those looooong days riding or hiking. I have two problems with it though:

- The spout is small (unlike the Camelbaks) so you can't add ice cubes to it to have cold water throughout the day. I freeze the whole thing filled about about a third full the night before, but it sucks when I forget to do that.

-The mouthpiece is finicky and sometimes doesn't seal completely, making it leak.

These things won't make me stop using it, but I'll probably look at a different brand when I have to replace it.

Works well

Overall it works fine. I wish the opening was larger so you could put ice cubes into the bag.

One tip - if you keep it in the freezer the lines won't get discolored. When I'm done with it, I rinse it out really well, dry it for a couple hours, and then roll it up and put it in the freezer. That's where it stays until I'm ready to use it again.
