Get the 72 oz!!!

By daniel roy Ranked #208 - Water Reservoirs May 13, 2009

I first purchased a 50 oz. bladder and soon found out that it just wasnt quite enough and forced me to have to carry a nalgene, which Id rather not do since it takes up more space in my pack. Im more a minimalist so the upgrade to the 72 oz (for only a couple extra bux) was well worth it. The first one I owned started leaking around where the tube connects to the bladder after only being detatched twice for cleaning. I figure this was simply a manufacturing flaw out of the batch that I recieved (first one purchased last year). I have detatched the tube on my new one several times just to make sure it was not going to give me any problems like the last one and it has held up fine. You got to expect at least one bad product from every assembly line. However, these bladders are the greatest. I have put water in these bladders with a little ice and left them sitting out directly in the Louisiana scorching sun for hours on end while fishing and my water stayed cold. It stays cold in every environment Ive used it in. The water tastes great, leaves no odd or plastic taste, and makes carrying enough hydration around a breeze. As stated, Id definitely go with a 72 oz over the smaller ones cuz you dont have to fill it all the way if you dont want to carry the extra weight of the water you wont use on short trips, runs, etc. I can't say enough great things about these bladders, not even after having a faulty one.
