GOOD BLADDER

Easy to fill.
Does not leak.
Insulates well.
Hassle to clean and dry.
Heavy.
It's a good bladder. Easy to fill due to the wide mouth and the cover genuinely keeps the water cool.
On the downside, fairly heavy and requires care in cleaning / drying.

GREAT FOR USE WHEN WALKING IN GROUPS

drinks on the move
no way of measuring how much you've used, without taking the bag out and shaking it about, so nagating the main point of a camelbak. Can flavour drinks. Tube freezes in winter use.
A great piece of kit for when in a group, so you are never the one everyone is waiting for, but for solo use I prefer Sigg bottles as they enable me to measure my drinking rate better and are a good excuse to stop and look about for a couple of minutes when I want a drink. They can flavour drinks, but not excessively. The tube will freeze in winter use, which makes it useless (blowing back after a drink reduces this, but is a bit fiddly).

BOMBPROOF, TASTELESS AND LEAKPROOF

-Abrasion resistant pouch
-Taste free
-Good flow through mouthpiece
-No leaks
-Nice long drinking tube
-Difficult to clean
-Difficult to get in and out of its pouch
A great little hydration system. Still tastes as fresh after 6 months of use (and no proper cleaning!) Just swill out after use and stick in airing cupboard to dry. Mouthpiece doesnt leak at all once its locked off. Abrasion-resistant pouch gives piece of mind when you stick it in your pack.

Doesn't taste funny, doesn't leak!

Ease of use, robust, insulated, no aftertaste.
Hard to clean, need a kit really .
Quite often people say their systems leak. This feels as if it will last forever. I've sat on mine, fallen on it and it stands ap to it. Forget the others this is really the only system
