Reliable and Practical

In 5 years, I have been through 5 water packs, until I got this one. The removable tube is helpful when you are filling the pack because you don't need to pull the tube through the hole in your pack to free the whole unit. You can simply clip the tube back in and stuff the water pack into your pack.

My main problem with previous water packs is that they leaked, not necessarily within my pack but from the spout/mouthpiece. So far I have taken this one on dozens of trips, including travelling abroad, and have had no issues with leaking. The locking feature on the mouthpiece obviously helps this.

Finally, the elastic cord attached to the piece that zips the unit closed means that you won't lose it or drop it. It fits snug and secure, and again, has not caused any leaking yet.

Highly recommended if you want to stay hydrated while you are on the move.
