A well-designed hydration bladder with a few features that set it apart from other competitors in this field.
Osprey says:
From the handle to the hose and baffles to the bite valve, we thought through every interaction and aspect of our Hydraulics design to identify opportunities for a better user experience—redesigning, reshaping and updating to create our best reservoir series yet.
Our Verdict
A well-made and ergonomically designed water bladder. My favourite feature is the quick connect tube which means I don't have to fully unthread the drinking tube every time I need to fill up the bladder. You can also use this connection to attach a filter.
The carry handle is robust; you can feel its quality, and you will be confident it won't brake. The large opening makes the bag very simple to fill, whether you are filling it from a tap or a stream.
It had a little aftertaste at first, but after a few uses it went away. If this problem persists, squeeze a lemon into the bag, fill the bag with water and freeze, this should eliminate the problem.
