FREEMOVE Hydration Bladder 2L / 3L Water Bladder for Hiking Backpack >Blue or Green< Leak Proof Hydration Pack, Tasteless & BPA Free, TPU Water Reservoir, Quick Release Insulated Tube & Shutoff Valve

I recommend this 2L hydration bladder. After washing it there was no plastic taste. It worked well and there were no defects (it came with all pieces as advertised). The first time I used it, it leaked slightly around the cap. I'm not sure if it was the way I put on the cap, but the leak was minimal (I'd say less than 2 mL leaked out total) and stopped after about 5 minutes. I am not a fan of these camel-bak style (large round opening on side) bladders because they are so awkward to fill and close. However they do make it easy to add electrolyte powder to the bladder. Some people mentioned that the material the bladder was made of was very thin. I did not find this to be true. It was the same thickness as my Nathan 2L bladder. This bladder cost a little less than half of what a name brand costs and it came with many other items that don't usually get included (drying rack, tube scrubber, cleaning tablets, carrying bag).

Good bladders are way harder to find than they should be... First of all, for the most part any bladder that automatically comes with a mid price range backpack can go straight in the trash, in my opinion. So you do want to look for a good third party bladder automatically if you are looking for a hydration backpack. I have been through several bladders so I am one to speak on quality for sure...This "Free Move" Bladder has an excellent design.. The best I've seen! One thing I love is the push button release design that connects the tube to the bladder. The insulated tube definitely makes a difference in keeping water cold.. I never put ice in the water but it comes out cold, interesting. The on/off valve by mouthpiece is best I've used, and it is very nice that this whole piece disconnects with a push to allow for more thorough cleaning. Cleaning kit it comes with works very well too.Thus I can't say enough about the great design. Yet I was very disappointed when the tube connection area leaked quite a bit. I was thinking I was going to just have to figure out how to deal with it but I let the seller know.. They quickly got back to me and were able to explain exactly what happened.. It was a specific manufacturing defect with the one I have that they previous identified and fixed. They sent a replacement along with an additional item to compensate for my inconvenience. This made me feel so much better. This shows they take a lot of pride in their product quality and customer satisfaction. It was also nice they could specifically identify what happened. That way I know it wasn't simply a bad product but a defect that happened to come up which can happen with any product.

Works great. I took it on a multiday hike and it performed well enough with some caveats listed belowPros:- It's light- Insulated hose kept my water from freezing in 15-20F weather- Quick release connections- Strong ring to mount to if your pack supports it (more on this later)- Cleaning kit has the hanging tool which is an awesome addition- Cleaning kit includes lots of brushes including a flexible one that is the perfect length/size for the drinking tube (all shown in photos)- Easy to see water levelCons:- The bite valve, cover, and on/off switch are all very large. This made it a little difficult to route through my pack since most of the holes are pretty tight.- The connection on the bag will not hold water if nothing is attached. This meant that I had to fully disconnect the bite valve, make sure the switch was off, then finally pull the bag and hose all the way out of my pack. If it had a check valve, this would allow me to disconnect the bag and just pull it straight out while leaving the hose in place. This would save time and it would be nice to know that the bag wouldn't leak out into my bag in the event that the hose was disconnected inadvertently. (shown in photos)- The bag mount isn't oriented correctly as shipped. I don't know of any bags that have mounts that would work on the ring, but please correct me if I'm wrong. With a little work, I was able to rotate the ring to have the hole on the top though. NOTE: There is a tab you have to release to get it free, so be careful if you decide to do the same.- The bite valve cover won't stay on. It pops off if you even look at it wrong. I wouldn't care, but the rubber that the bite valve is made of picks up dirt and sand like nobody's business (shown in photos).Overall:This was a great hydration pack. Other than the few complaints, most of which can be fixed if they bother you, this bladder has performed adequately, and for the money, you can't really get anything better. If you have questions, let me know. Please let me know if this review was helpful!

When backpacking or cycling, I normally use plastic sports bottles that I tuck into the side pockets of my pack or in the bike's bottle cages. However, in preparing for our approaching hike up Mt. Kilimanjaro with the Sierra Club, we have been advised to buy several items that we don't normally use, including a hydration bladder to use on the mountain. Because I do already have a Camelback pack (but no longer the hydration bladder) to use on our summit day (temporarily leaving the big backpack at our camp), I only needed to purchase the bladder. I was drawn to this one because of its size which would fit in my Camelback pack, the insulated hose, the on/off valve, the opening large enough for ice (for future cycling trips), and the cleaning kit. I have used the bladder once now during a training hike, and was very pleased. I like the suppleness and quality of the material that it is made of, and the insulated hose and covered mouthpieces were definitely a real plus during our frigid hike, as it will be on our upcoming trek. I noticed also that the opening is much larger than that of my husband's hydration bladder, which means I was actually able to carefully get a dishtowel inside to dry it out after use. I will admit that I haven't used the cleaning kit yet.I found this set to be good quality and a good price. I recommend it.

Product description says it comes with a cleaning kit, which is also pictured in the detailed product description, but there was no cleaning kit.

J'ai acheté ce réservoir pour remplacer l'original, de Hugh Sierra. Ce produit a très bien pris la position dans le sac original, et les accessoires de nettoyage que j'ai également reçu sont très satisfaisant.

Great product. Very easy to fill. Removable tube is nice. No plastic taste. Easy to wash.

Definitely nicer than most hydration bladders at this price. Main body is a bit thin feeling but the tubing feels very nice and connector feels robust. Bite valve is at a good angle and works well. Great while mountain biking, highly recommend

Works as it should but pay attention to the fill lid when you put it back on. Sometimes it looks like its in place when its not.
