CKE Hydration Bladder 2L/70-Ounce 3L/100-Ounce for Water Backpack Hydration Pack Hydration Backpack for Running Hiking Biking Climbing

I cannot tell you how excited I was to get my first bladder. This fit perfectly in my day pack and the straw works great. Even comes with its own lid! I feel like I even stay more hydrated because I can drink as I walk instead of stopping to get my bottle out of the bag. I do wish it had more of a lip for easier filling and dumping into my jetboil. But 2L worked for my six mile hike!

It takes a while to figure out what to turn to get water out, but after a few unsuccessful tries it worked quite well.It can be quite heavy for running, bit good for hikes.Filling it is easier done with one person holding the bag and one filling and capping it.I did not notice any chemical or plastic taste.It's held up really well thus far and fits my hydration vest perfectly.The price really sold it for me!

I bought this a few days before hiking several national parks. The construction of the bag appears to be a lower quality material. Well I experienced no leaks or tears, I’m still skeptical about how this will endure prolonged use. The bag kept my water reasonably cool throughout my hikes in back country deserts. For $8 This was a value product. If I had to buy a bladder quickly and only needed it for a short use I would recommend this product.I know many people are complaining about the taste. I put water in it as soon as I got it and drink and it tasted horrible. I expected that. I filled it up with warm water and soap and let it sit overnight. That did the job for me. If that had not worked I was planning on putting cold water with cucumber and lime and letting that sit overnight.

Product works as described. Be sure to close the cap tightly without tilting in.I am mostly filling it at the filtered water dispenser at the fridge and the bladder is just not made for that even though I think lots of people do that. This step could have been made easier by designing the opening differently.Drinking from the bladder is very nice and easy to understand. Flow is good and there is no ‚kinking‘ at the lower end of the tube where it enters the bladder.

Seems small for 2 L. Hose is kinked, can’t get a good drink. It was a great price & came with a hangar thing and long brush, which was nice; ha except you can’t take off the drinking end to run the brush all the way through.

Not a very practical design, difficult to clean and maintain. After 2 uses it developed a fungal smell that was super difficult to remove. Also having the aperture on the side makes it deform/curve up when freezing which is impractical when arranging in a backpack. In all I would not recommend for longterm use nor hiking. We do have other waterpacks we have had for 10y and we went ahead and bought from their brand instead.

There was a small hole in the bottom of the bag that did not allow for use. Very disappointed to not have this available for hiking. I was offered a full refund or exchange which was very nice. I would order again.

It’s good. A little difficult to clean and dry because the opening isn’t very big. Other bladders that I’ve had have a slide clip on the top so the entire thing can be easily washed and dried. Otherwise they get a little slimy.

The plastic taste is impossible to get out of this. I’ve washed it and cleaned it out 8 times and it still tastes awful, which makes me wonder if the chemicals are leaking into the water. The drinking tube is terrible, you have to use a lot of force to get very little water out of it. Good thing I was doing an easy hike instead of anything too strenuous when I discovered this. I’ve given up on this product and will be throwing it out. I won’t make the mistake of not buying name brand again. It leaked a bit as well, for the life of me I can’t figure out where from. Cheap and not worth what little I paid for it.

What a PIECE OF JUNK waste of money!!!I have used bladders for years as a mountain leader, first time out went on an overnighter into the hills, filled the bladder just under capacity fortunately used as a 2nd water container in a poly bag and good job I did as once got to my tent pitch spot opened my bag to find only about 80% of the water had gone from the bladder yet the inlet cap was still secure, wetting some of my rucksack internally, and the bite straw/suction I found problems trying to get water from, this is the WORST item for quality and use I have brought from Amazon!

No stars if possible!, mouthpiece quality is appalling. 1st time it dripped constantly, regardless of hat I did to the mouthpiece, second time on a long bike ride, whatever pressure I put on the mouthpiece, no fluid would come out! Avoid.

Bought to replace a sad, leaking hydration bladder which died on the trail. Easy to fill, no plastic taste, fits my Evoc pack perfectly and more importantly did not explode like a water balloon when I landed flat on my back after going over the handlebars. What more could you want, buy it!

Great product, solid construction leak proof. Like the markings on the front, nice grey flavour look, showing how much liquid is in it. Easy to fill and clean and comes with a Long drinking tube with easy to use mouth connector and cover top. Really happy.
