Ultimate DirectionWater Reservoir, Hydration Bladder with Straw for Hiking, Running, Endurance Athletes, Made by Hydrapak, 1.5L-3.0L

I've only used Camelbak bladders in the past, so my impressions are in comparison to that brand. I really like the quick-release that allows you to disconnect the whole tube and mouthpiece from the bladder for easier cleaning or to let it all dry out more easily. The bite valve is round, not oval like the Camelbak, so it is a bit bigger in your mouth. Once I got used to that I didn't mind it at all. The flow of water is plenty for a nice, satisfying chug of water. I've only used this a couple of times but I really like it.

The media could not be loaded.  Gotta say, the bite valve on this Ultimate Direction Water Reservoir is fabulous. Easy to remove, easy to open and great flow. I think the hose diameter is a little wider as well. The plug n play system is really nice to use when refilling the water bag in my pack. I just wish this bladder didn’t impart a funky taste into the water. The longer it sits, the worse the flavory gets.The first time I tried opening the top of this up was a bit scary. It was sealed together so tight, I thought I was trying to open the wrong part of the bag or something. Nope. It took some force, but it opened up. Filling it with cold well water was easy peasy. Sliding the lock on the folded end was a bit tight, and I had to back it up and try again. No leaks.Cleaning the water bladder is easy with the wide-open end. I don’t know about long term cleaning around potential nooks and crannies of the fancy connectors. Only time will tell if that is an issue.Useful info for some. The bite valve slides off easily enough, but the remaining open tube is not a fit for a sawyer mini filter, and there is nowhere to screw one on.

Buen artículo es hydraflask ya que compré el anterior y solo por ponerle agua se rompió este viene mucho mejor pero si compraría el insulado ya que por el material se calienta rápido el agua, pero si lo quieres para lo necesario este está bien
