Badlands Hydration Reservoir with Insulated Drinking Tube

Now that I have used this bag for several weeks during my elk and deer hunt I can leave an honest review. I have been using it in my Badlands Silent Stalker pack. Let me start by saying up front that this bladder is junk, or rather, the hose system is. The bag it self seems to be made of a durable material, easy to fill and clean, and it has no discernible bad taste. This is where the good ends. The hose quick disconnect leaks. Be prepared to have all of your gear wet. And if that isn’t irritating enough there is the mouthpiece. It is a two handed affair to turn it on and off, and I do keep it off when not using it, because, yep it leaks like mad. Even worse, once I do turn it on and go to take a pull of water the mouthpiece has a vacuum leak so most of what I get is wet air. To get a good slug of water I have to remove the mouthpiece from the hose. At least I take heart in knowing that I was going to have to use both hands anyway. I got this thinking that it will work the easiest with my pack, but my old Camelbak and Platypus bladders are far superior to this piece o’ junk.

Bought this for my husbands elk trip and he said it worked wonderfully for him.

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.

Nice fit for my badlands super day pack

Fit perfect in my badlands pack. Great quality, seems to be very durable.

Hands down this is the best hydration reservoir I have ever used. Easy to fill, easy to clean and dry. The hose unplugs and plugs into the bladder without any leaks, and the mouthpiece does not leak. Cant beat it!

This one liter rectangular hydration bladder is my new go to brand! Although with the durability it has , I might not need another, ever ! I have used this on trail runs and hiking up to 4 hours in length and have never had an issue with leaking from any part of the bladder or tubing. The product is so durable. From the firmly attached top bladder sealer to the plug and play tube I have not had any issues during trail runs and hikes. I use this in my Ultimate Direction ladies hydration pack and it clips in perfectly. It cleans up nicely and I have not noticed any aftertaste (even with using my powdered and gel supplements to the water). One of my favorite things is that I dont have to attach the tubing until after filling the bladder. And there has never been any loss of fluid in the process! It is so easy to click it on or off! The bladder itself is thick and the bite valve is easy to use with a strong flow of fluid without much effort. Great Product!

Works great in my badlands pack. I also like that is it super easy to clean with the large opening you can flip it inside out to let it dry.

Another great product from Badlands. Came earlier than expected. Thanks again Badlands.

Good quality
