GregoryMountain Products 3D Hydro Reservoir

Why didn't anyone think of this sooner? The flat side is so common sense - it sits flat on your back, instead of feeling like a football filled with water on your back. Nice wide opening that is easy to close - no fussy lids trying to line up the arrows, it just easily screws on. Big rigid handle makes it easier to fill from the faucet or when you're filtering water into it, and there's a hook to hang it upside down when you're done so it dries out. Only negative is the end you drink from - water comes out in 2 little streams, not much flow. I may switch that out for a regular Camelbak one that flows better. Otherwise, I've gotten these in both sizes available, and this went through a rim-to-rim hike of the Grand Canyon, including filtering from streams, with no issues. Great bladder.

I've only used this for a few weeks so far so I can't speak for durability. The junction between the hose which is connected to the bladder, and the hose which runs to the sipping end, seems like it could come apart accidentally. It doesn't seem to click or lock in. Other than that everything seems very sturdy. The shape makes it easy to fill from a squeeze filter, and easy to dry out thoroughly when you get home. After the first day or so I didn't notice any negative taste.

I have had at least 5 hydration packs. This one is the best and here is why. It lays flat against your back. It doesn’t not have a flat balloon shape. It has a flat side that is majored by a baffle in the middle also keeps water Fulton sloshing back and forth while dancing at festivals or on hikes.The hose is quite long. You can cut it to length.It comes with an optional magnet to put on your chest strap. This is a must. You don’t want your mouthpiece is so far guys armpit beside you at a festival.In that note but the optional and addition mouth piece cover. It’s worth it and also works well.The mouth bite piece works very well. It has a valve that also works well. No leaking and holds a vacuum.The hose unsnaps so you can remove just the bag from your backpack.It doesn’t have that zip top thing many have. I’m OK with this on my second favorite, a Platypus, but if you want to use at a festival, and you are less than sober and in a line, the screw top is mandatory. The bag also has a nice handle to hold it from while your filling it.It has a hook to hang from when it’s drying.It’s very well thought out.

Love it, no weird plastic flavor & great customer service

I'm impressed with this bladder, and like its rigidity and filling system. The mouthpiece doesn't let water flow as quickly as I'd like (it's slower than other bladders I've used in the past). Other than that, I'd highly recommend this.

Best reservoir I've ever used. Very good design and seems durable although time will tell.

Prior to this I had a Camel Back bladder that lasted me, no joke almost 20 years. I did my research and based on good reviews decided on this one. I’ve used it 10-12 times, I clean it after every use and make sure that it’s dry before storing it. Unfortunately the seal at the top where the cap screws on failed and now it leaks. Otherwise, I wasn’t a huge fan of the mouthpiece, I just prefer the camel back style

This is my first Gregory bladder. It's way more user friendly than all the Camelbaks I've owned over the years. It has just enough structure to be easy to fill. The connection point in the middle of the tubing that allows you to take the bladder out of your pack without having to thread the tubing through your pack: brilliant. The bite valve takes a little getting used to compared to Camelbaks, but the volume isn't less. I think I'm now going to change out all my smaller bladders from Camelbak to Gregory.

This is my first hydration bladder. I compared it with a camelback brand and ended up keeping this one. I'm very pleased with it, and would recommend the purchase.Overall the quality and materials are excellent and should last a long time. It's easy to fill with the handle. It's easy to clean and the 3d design really helps to get it properly dry. I like that the tube detaches - it's convenient for both setup and cleaning.Their magnet is genius, (it's the simple things in life, right?) - it's easy to attach and detach and the valve from the magnet, but it is also not going anywhere no matter what. They got that part perfect, and when you get it set up just right with your pack, it's really great.The only thing that I didn't like is the suction required to get water when the bladder is closer to empty, but I imagine that might be a universal issue when you are a bit out of breath! I had the same issue with the camelback one. I was able to extend the hose downward and provide some water for my dog with a bit of suction to get it started, so water does come out... just slowly. It helps to bite down a bit more. I'm definitely figuring it out.The silicone around the bite valve is comfortable and good quality, but does tend to attract hair and dust. I haven't had an issue with that during hikes at all, but I do notice it usually needs a rinse before I get started.It's sometimes hard to open and close the valve. I've just left it open by default and closed it before I take my pack off so I don't end up with a sprinkler. It hasn't leaked, no matter what I've done with it (I've thrown my pack around quite a bit).

Habe mir die Trinkblase für den Gregory Rucksack Miwook 12l gekauft, passt perfekt. Mit dem beigelegten Magneten kann man das Mundstück fixieren.Die Blase lässt sich gut befüllen und auch reinigen, von daher perfekt.

Totally worked for me in every aspect

Excelente calidad del producto, la manguera es muy corta y para lo que cuesta esperaría estar 100 satisfecho

Love it ... perfect bladder
