Badlands Hydration Reservoir with Insulated Drinking Tube

Just what my son and grandson needed for their mountain hunting trips.

The bladder does not open. It is glued shut. I am going to attempt to cut it open with a knife and see if it still holds water. I’m very upset for spending this much money and getting sent a product that does not work.

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!!!

So far so good. I have never used bladder before so I was surprised that it does not leak at all. I used it for almost a month and no issues. It comes with lifetime warranty that I trust. I am leaving 5 stars and if no update then you know I am still satisfied and feel free to buy.

Fits my 2200 perfect bladder is super thin compared to others hope it lasts

Excellent bladder, practical and ingenious Ez fill opening. Insulation on the tube seems to be fused, rock solid. Some people are complaining about issues, Hydrapak backs the unlimited lifetime warranty. What more could you ask for? My Badlands Clutch can use the square or regular bladder. Square fits perfect in the pouch made for it. By the way Hydrapak sells the insulated plug and play tube for the price that some charge just for insulation.

This was a gift and he loved it.

At the beginning, I was a bit skeptical about this purchase because I thought $30 is a lot for just a bladder and a hose. Im relieved now, however, that this is a top quality product, easy to use, easy to clean and seems like it should last a long time. Also the fact that it comes with a great lifetime warranty, as does all Badlands gear, makes it a 5 start rating in the value department. One thing I was particularly skeptical about at first was that the pack I bought this for, the Superday, requires the 2 liter size. When the bladder comes out of the package it doesnt look very big. However, I discovered that 2 liters is plenty to keep me well hydrated during the day-long hunts this thing accompanies me on. Well done badlands!

I’ve had platypus and camelback packs but neither were as good as this one. The camelbacks were difficult (aka impossible) to thoroughly clean. I liked platypus, but they were stiff and one ended up springing a leak. That was after several years of use, though, so no real complaints. But for the price, nothing beats this badlands bladder. It’s very sturdy....,my BF accidentally hooked the hose where it sticks out of the top of my backpack and ended up dragging the whole thing out of the truck. Flipped the bladder upside down inside the pack with the entire weight of the pack being held by the hose. No damage or leaking from the the bladder or plug and play port. Super easy to clean and dry. LOVE the foldover wide open seal for filling and for cleaning. After washing I simply stick an empty soda bottle in the open end and hang it upside down. Dry as a bone by morning. Nice to be able to remove the hose for cleaning, too. The bite valve is easy to use and does not leak, even in the “on” position. I haven’t even found the need to turn it “off”. Like the attached cap to cover the bite valve when in dusting/muddy conditions. I bought the 3L size for those longer treks, but often only fill it 1/3 or 1/2 full for day trips. Very versatile.

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.
