Artisanates Hydration Bladder, 2 Liter Leak Proof Water Reservoir, BPA Free Water Storage Bladder Bag, Hydration Backpack Replacement for Outdoor Hiking Camping Running Cycling

Overall: This is my first time using a hydration pack with a bladder. I have always in the past used a Nalgene water bottle. I just used this bladder on a 5-7 mile mountain bike ride with this hydration pack (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QJ5SX5B/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and there was no leaking, very minimal or no sloshing, and there was a very minor taste, but I've never been a stickler for water taste in general. Overall I had a very good experience with this bladder, and so long as it does not start having issues, I think it is definitely worth the purchase. Below I will break down the pros and cons I found while using it.Pros:- No leaking- Minimal taste- Holds enough water for a 5 mile road/mountain bike ride- Quality design of the cap, tube and mouthpiece- Cheap but functionalCons:- Some other reviewers have stated that it may hold less than 2 liters. I would not be surprised if this were true but have not tested it myself. I think it is mostly due to where the opening is located and how well you can fill it to the brim.- The water flow is fairly slow. I am used to being able to chug down a water bottle though. This also did help with pacing my drinking.

Update: the seller issued me a replacement and it turned out that the original was missing an o-ring and it wasn’t sealing properly. The replacement has lasted me through multiple festivals, hikes, and protests! The water stays nice and cool and the mouthpiece cover has helped keep dirt and other germs off when I’m not using it. I use the bag inside of my vibedration backpack and it fits perfectly! I highly recommend this bag and the seller because they are amazing!!I bought this to use at a concert and a three day festival in the same week. It worked great for the concert, but then I noticed my back getting drenched during the festival. I took the bag out and filled it to see where it was leaking, and I couldn’t find any spot with water coming out, so I figured maybe I got the outside of the bag really wet. After I put the refilled bag in my backpack, I noticed my back getting wet again. It got to the point where I was happy I packed my previous bladder from another company (it was just an older bag for hiking), because having water all over me was not fun.

I bought 2 of these because the price was so cheap. Two things, I would not take this on a full day hike if it's hot outside. You will run out of water. I didn't realize these past few years I've been carrying a 3-liter bladder and that 1-liter makes a huge difference. However, it is the perfect size for a 1/2 day hike in an ultra-light backpack. My absolutely favorite feature is the cover on the mouthpiece. It might seem trivial but its nice to know its protected when you set your pack down. I do wish that when you pull the drinking piece out with your teeth to take a drink you got more volume but it's not a deal breaker.

So far so good. The tube is removable and easy to clean. Water pulls easily through the tube and it flows fairly well when gravity feed. Add pressure to the bag and you get a really good flow of water as well. Also the tube is semi-transparent which is a huge plus +++. The bag is thicker than a lot of them out there. The mouth is very wide so its easy to fill, add ice, empty and clean. I'm former military and I am very happy with this purchase as it performs better than most. I would definitely buy again.

Better than the camelbak bladder I had originally, I think. I had to get rid of that one because my kid put apple juice in it and by the time i found out, it was a bag full of prison-wine. I keep it with me at all times basically, now. It has never leaked, even when I made the lid/opening detachable. I have even had it survive an accidental freeze when my kindergartner put it in the freezer for a couple hours. I dont recommend that at all, but I think it's still worth mentioning. If it will survive my kid, it'll survive anything.

Love them. I ordered 2 and neither of them leaked. Just recently used them on a hiking a trip in Costa Rica. The bladder is pretty thick so I do believe it should last a while. The backpack that I put it in was stuffed with materials and it didn’t puncture the bag. Water flows out the nozzle slow which I like because it prevents me from drinking my water too fast. Overall great product.

Purchased two of these in two separate occasions. Perfect for small packs and hikes! As with all stuff like this, you should probably wash and clean thoroughly before using. Still a bit of plastic-like flavor that washes away in time.

I like how easy this is to clean and I like that it's easy to put in a bag or a vest. I also like how strong it is because I've fallen on my back and It hasn't broke or leaked at all. I think that this is a good bladder.
