Shockingly Great

By Meg Fogg September 6, 2007

I got this bladder before my trip to Moab over Labor Day (where it hovered at 100 degrees). I replaced my very old Camelbak bladder with this one and was disappointed that I didn't replace it years ago! I really really liked the mouth piece on this. I am so used to biting really hard and sucking to get water. This one is a very gentle squeeze and it easily flows in your mouth. It has a clearly well made tube and construction and the best part is the zip closer on the bladder. I was scared that I wouldn't be able to close it all the way with the zip but it was super easy to open and close yet stayed closed very well. It was so easy to throw ice in and clean out at the end of the day. I also really liked the "cone" shape of the bladder, it fits in my pack much easier. When I first got it, I wasn't sure about it as the material is sort of stiff, but after a few minutes of filling it up, you realize this thing is going to last a while. Love this thing!
