TPU Hydration Bladder,1.5L 2L 3L Water Bladder for Hiking Backpack BPA Free Leak Proof Hydration Pack for Camping Running Biking Hiking

looks sturdy, easy to fill & didn't leak when tested.

Brilliant, 3 LTR option for Ben Nevis, enough liquid for ascent & descent.

I ordered a hydration backpack without the bladder, as a lot of the reviews were saying it leaked and wasn't very good quality. I decided to get this bladder separately and I'm glad I did! It's easy to fill and fits in the backpack comfortably without adding too much extra weight. The mouthpiece is easy to use and the dustcap is great for covering it when I'm not drinking. The only issues I would say is it's quite difficult to wash. There might be a knack to it that I haven't figured out yet, but the best way I've found so far is filling it with water and washing up liquid, closing the seal and giving it a good shake before dumping the water back out into the sink. I have to do this a couple more times with just water to make sure all of the washing up liquid is out, and even then I have to go in with a tea towel to make sure all of the water is out afterwards. As well as this, it still has a plasticy taste. I've only used it a couple of times, but even after thorough washing, it's still there. I guess this will go away with time, but due to this, I'd suggest using it a handful of times before a big race!

Excellent service, everything perfect, arrived very fast and safely, thank you

I'm a keen cyclist and on a days ride I can get through quite a lot of water. The 'JOYHILL TPU Hydration Bladder, 3L Water Bladder for Hiking Backpack BPA' certainly holds a lot of water.Initially there is a slight 'new container' taste that comes through with the water. But I just filled with some warm soapy water and left for a couple of hours and now the taste has gone.Using the bite tube is easy enough, my only complaint would be that after sucking the water tube drains down to the bladder water level meaning you have to suck through air through each time you drink - but to be honest this is a minor complaint.I have the 3l size and I would imagine that this is only useful for cycling or hiking that I use it for. 3 litres is quite a lot for a runner to carry - but maybe some of the long distance guys would know more on that score.I have had no leaks at all so far. The tubing is sectional with a no leak valve if you remove the suck tube.My only concern would be if you packed the bladder empty with the cap screwed closed as the internal edges of the cap are 'keen' and I would worry about whether they could pierce the bladder over time (it arrives with some foam packing to stop this happening which needs removing before first use). However it is not best practise to store the bladder sealed when not completely dry in any case so this should not be an issue.I think £16.99 is a great price for a 3l bladder, it is certainly serving me very well.

The tube connector is poor and ripped away the first time I tried to use it. Had to ask for my money back.

It changed the way I hiked when I used this water bag. I loved that I could add ice cubes to keep my water cool, and the big 9cm hole made it very easy to fill. It's safe to use all day because the food-grade TPU material doesn't smell or contain BPA. It worked perfectly, even when it was handled roughly, because the new leakproof design with a soft mouthpiece and on-off button did its job perfectly.The long hose and 2L volume made it easy to stay hydrated, and I didn't even have to take my backpack off to drink from it. It lasts a long time, is simple to clean, and worked great on long walks. Overall, a must-have for doing things outside!

I like this backpack. Plenty of belts and buckles to get a good fit around the body. This means no rubbing or blisters whilst walking and running. The opening of valves and usage of the tube feeder during a run was a little tricky to get just right. But when you get it, it is a super help to keep you hydrated. :)
