Great Functionality

None of these reviews really seem to address the real reason for buying this bladder: functionality. My question to all of these reviews: If you own one of MSR's water filtration devices why would you use any other bladder? Simply screw this bladder onto the filter and away you go. No need for an intermediary devices or extra hoses only to then have a mis-step and spill the bounty of water right back into the muddy pond. Every bladder leaks and you simply need to wrap the straw into a service loop in the locked position and store it without any equipment on top of it. All straws will pseudo fracture due to cold without an insulation sleeve. If you go from filling your bladder at the kitchen sink for 2-hour hike and come back to refill at the sink, then maybe a wide mouth CB is the way to go. Take care of your equipment and don't knock down a product if you don't use it for its full functionality. I have had the same MSR 2.5L bladder for 2 years despite all of the abuse I put it through.
