Badlands Hydration Reservoir with Insulated Drinking Tube

Being that this item is from a high end company I didn’t mind spending the money, that was a mistake. Before I returned the item I spend weeks calling and leaving messages and emails. No response from badlands at all. Filled the bladder up with water and put set it in my Vario day pack. Left it over night and it was half full in the morning, my brand new pack was soaked. I thought it might have been a fluke so I did it again (5 times total). Leaks every time. It will leak if left on the counter with no pressure at all. Just avoid it. Not worth the money and there are other bladders out there much cheaper that hold water without leaking. If badlands ever returns my messages I’ll update this review. I doubt they will, I’ve seen other comments on YouTube that say the same thing. “Lifetime” warranty but no response from badlands what so ever. Purchase at your own risk.

Good quality but leaves lump in your back.I went back to a water bottle

Decent quality. Camelback bladders are better In my opinion. This bladder leaks slowly from the zip top after a full day sitting on the counter. Unfortunately the 2200 pack takes an odd shaped reservoir or I’d have dropped my camelback reservoir in it.

I gave it 5 stars although been havnt ng difficulty re attatching the hise back onto the bladder, i believe because there mayb some ice in the contraption in the bladder, i usually throw it in the freezer after emptying it, otherwise e tremely easy to keep clean can reverse it inside out WOOOW!!!

Works great with my Badlands daypack. The fold-over style inlet is a little tricky, especially with cold hands. Everything breaks down easily for cleaning or replacing broken parts. Overall, a good product with high quality components.

Quality is as expected.

Its for a hunting trip

This reservoir was perfect for my waist pack except for one big flaw. It has a hang freely or the flexible bladder will shut itself off when the opening gets sealed off against the outlet. It needs some grooves in the outlet to prevent this.

The reservoir is hard to attach inside the Badlands pack, I had to improvise. Needs a little improvement.

Bought this to use in my Badlands Monster fanny pack on an elk hunt. Bladder/pack does not hang well in the Monster bladder holder and bunches up in the holder making it difficult to get all water out of it. Thought I was out of water well before it was empty. Not a good design; seems to be an afterthought or just something to add to a features list for the sake of having it listed. Ended up carrying a water bottle instead and leaving this in camp. Would return but purchased it too far in advance of the hunt expecting it to work and have gone beyond the eligible return date. Definitely not worth the money that was paid for it and will likely never use it again. Very disappointed.
