MARCHWAY Ultra Durable TPU Hydration Bladder with Insulated Tube, 2.5L/3L

Great water bladders. I now have 3. They seem well built. Have one in my hunting pack, and my wife and I each have one in our backpacking packs. Even after our packs are “overfilled” these have never leaked a drop

I got the 2L for backpacking. I was concerned about the sturdiness of the handle but it's solid. I like the cap that goes over the bite valve. I was around a lot of sand and the cap kept it off the valve. The opening is large and cleaning it out was a breeze. It comes with a couple of extra O rings in case the one on the hose comes off . This is a solid product, right up there with the more expensive ones that are $40+. I will be purchasing another one in the near future.

I've been using this hydration bladder for hiking for a couple of years now, and it has proved reliable and functional. Mine holds 3L of water, which works well for me. It fits well in the designated section of my pack, with plenty of tubing for ease of use. The bite-valve works well, and comes apart for cleaning. There's a cap to keep the 'nature' out of your bite valve, as well. There's a lock just above the mouthpiece to prevent leaking, such as when I have to remove the mouthpiece to thread the tubing through the designated hole in my pack, so it comes over my shoulder. I've found if I put ice in the bladder, it will 'sweat' and settle in my pack, or pour out if I bend over. I solve this by dropping the bladder in a small dry-bag with a small towel at the bottom to absorb the condensation. The large opening makes it easier to clean the bladder by hand, if you don't have a purpose-built tool. There is a sort of plastic baffle down the middle of the bladder, which I assume is structural in nature--preventing the bag from deforming when being handled when full (water being heavy stuff). It does make it a bit harder to clean the bladder manually, but even with largish hands, I can do it. After reading stories of other people's disasters, I have started to test the bladder before I put it in the pack. I seal it, then press on the bladder to test the seals, with it lying on its front and its back. So far it's held up well. Seems to be quality construction. My gear has a pretty sweet life: I'm not someone who throws packs around or drags them up cliff-faces, so I can't claim to have torture-tested it, but for straightforward day-hiking, with this bladder you can get the fancier performance without the fancy price.

Works as described.

Update: The company was wonderful and reached out to me after they heard of the leak and sent me replacements and they work perfectly. I have used them on a couple backpacking trips now and had no problems at all. Very happy with my purchase. I really wanted to love this because the hose is awesome, but it had a bad leak in it after one time of use. It soaked my daughter’s backpack, which got all of her backpacking supplies wet. Thank God it was not in the winter and we were able to dry out her sleeping bag and clothes before she went to sleep. So disappointed.

A very nice item to have for outdoors activity.

Wonderful Customer Service. Was shipped without a Tube, however it was no issue getting ahold of the seller & getting a new tube, with no mention of charging me extra. The bladder itself seems strong, I can fill it and then lay my bodyweight (190Lbs) on it without it bulging, same as my old G.I. issue camelbaks. The actual bite seems to be the same design as well except the cover, when It came it was individually sealed, and instead of it being a 'slit' design its moreso a blue rubber around a stick with a disc on top, which allows for you to drink the entire 3L pretty quickly. The Tube also has a cover which I was not expecting, its reminiscent of a twill weave fabric and its held in place by shrink wrap on both ends of the tube, Im pretty happy with all this.

We used two of these on a 4 day backpacking trip this summer. We filled them up with water filtered from streams and stored them in our packs. Four things really make this bladder worth getting in my opinion: #1 - the detachable hose gets it out of the way when you are filling near a water source so that you don't have to worry about the drinking end falling into potentially contaminated water. #2 - the shutoff valve at the drinking end is great when you are hiking so that you don't end up with water leaking on your shoulder. It also makes it easy to control the flow when filling cooking pots. #3 - the large opening makes it super easy to fill, clean, and dry. #4 - Durability. We had this around rocks, sticks, hanging in trees, and crammed into our pack with tons of other supplies. Held up really well! Other features I like are the insulated hose and the large handle for carrying and the internal attachments which help hold the shape of the bladder when full. We also didn't notice any off flavors from the plastic, but we did wash, soak, and rinse before using. The only downside would be that the screw on cap can be difficult to get lined up and screwed on sometimes, especially when the bladder is full. Overall, I would buy again and recommend to any hikers.

Really happy with this as excellent quality for the money compared to others some of my walking group had. No leaks, easy to fill and then use. I especially liked the on/off valve and being able to tilt the mouth section which cheaper ones I looked at didn't seem to have. Slight plastic taste on use even after cleaning which I was a little concerned about, but on balance I was so glad I had it whilst hiking the Picos de Europa.

I have used it on a 3 day hike and it worked amazingly. The tube detaches, so you can take out the bladder from the backpack easily to fill it up, without taking the whole thing out. The water does not leak from anywhere. Really recommended

Bladder was exactly what I needed for climbing Mt Kilimanjaro. It worked as expected (no malfunction, nozzle cover worked), and no freezing of the water line either. Highly recommend it.

Very usefull product,my son liked it.

De ótima qualidade e super indicado
