3L Trek Hydration Reservoir for Outdoor Adventures

I have been using the water bag since 11/2024, have taken several hikes with it, and have been overall pleased w/ its performance. I did not encounter any bad tastes/odors with initial or subsequent uses. My only recommendation to the manufacturers is that there should be a cap that fits over the mouth piece, to keep it from getting dirty- ie from dust/dirt on the trail or from coming in contact w/ the ground when taking the pack off.

Awesome. Easy to clean & dry because of huge capped hole. Used it a dozen times over a couple seasons No leaks. Super easy. I added a quick change port high up in the seining hose. I can remove the remainder of the drinking hose and the bitevalve. And swap in the output hose from my river water purifier/filter (I use katadyn gravity befree, but anything will work, eg lifestrawflex). When that quick change valve gives out, it’ll be like $5 to replace it. The 3d shape means I don’t need to use an awkward plastic thing to keep the walls from touching each other while drying out. So easy. And the giant capped port makes drying out faster too.

This water bottle is extremely convenient to use. The size and shape are perfect for backpacking. I love that it holds its shape in pack unlike other water bottles.
