Hydration Bladder

This s a great bladder. I was looking for a bladder to replace my Camelbak Rogue and did not want to buy the expensive brand model. I found this one and got to 2L and it fits perfect. Can't even tell that it is an off brand. Water storage and capacity is exactly as it ways and easy to put in. Well worth the money.

This Camelbak replacement bladder was the first I’ve purchased in many years. Since starting back up in mountain biking, I previously used my older Camelbak with the bladder it came with. However, after using it for awhile, it finally wore out and needed to be replaced. I picked this kit due to the size of the bladder (2L) and the cleaning kit that it comes with. This new bladder allows you to disconnect the feeding tube which makes it super easy to pull out of your pack and clean. Previously, I used to have to remove the feeding tube that was routed through some tight slots in my pack. Now all I have to do is disconnect the tube and I can pull the bag out quickly, clean/dry and put back in without any other work. My previous bladder was well over 2L capacity, but I found that I never ran out of water while riding, no matter how long my ride was. Therefore, I picked the 2L bladder so it would fit better and give me a little more room in my pack. The cleaning kit works great and includes everything needed to get your bladder super clean. I also purchased Camelbak cleaning tabs to use every other cleaning to get my bladder really clean and tasting great. The cleaning kit is easy to use and the drying hanger is perfect for allowing the bladder to completely dry out in between uses, keeping down algae and bacteria that builds up if you don’t dry out your bladder completely. Overall great product.

Worked great for my trip! The middle rib on the bag is an excellent idea to keep it from ballooning out and becoming an uncomfortable lump in my bag. Quick detach hose is fantastic for quick filling without having to unthread the hose from a backpack, and it did not leak. The only leaking I experienced was from the connection to the mouthpiece. This leak was very minimal, maybe one drip every 5 minutes or so while hiking, and more often it only resulted in air in the line. I noticed no plastic-y taste in this bladder at all, even on the very first fill. I’m normally pretty picky about this kind of thing, and often notice it in water from disposable bottles or other water bladders, so it was a relief for that flavor to be absent with this one! For the price, this bladder did everything I could ask for. I can’t speak for durability for now, but it’ll definitely be coming with me on future hikes!

The 1.5L bladder was enough for a 13mile run With the bladder fully loaded, I was afraid it would bounce a lot but it wasn't that bad. Fitted perfectly with my hydration backpack. Quality bladder. I ran 10-13 with it about 5x and was satisfied with the bladder, length of the tubing and valve control. Highly recommended. Make sure to get the right size for your pack.

This hydration bladder is indistinguishable from Camelbak bladders costing many times the price. While I typically support Camelbak, its replacement parts have grown too expensive, relative to competitors, to continue doing so.

This review is for Rogue Camelbak owners. If your pack is fine this is almost as perfect of a fit as one could expect. The only possible negative is that it's delivered in the manufacturers clear plastic bag, Amazon just sticks a label on it. With that said mine arrived perfect, no leaks, looks identical in color and everything works as it should. It fits the same in my Rogue as the original did, same neck size, and the top zippered pouch on the pack fits the same as original. I know it only says 1.5 liters and the Camelbak says 70oz (2 L), but this is the one you want and is dimensionally almost identical. You can save your Rogue with this.

Perfect! I love how easy it is to clean, use, and put in my bag. I'm a casual hiker and camper so this was perfect. The Bladder has great durability including holding the liquid without any smell when I add electrolytes and other packets

Bought this for my wife so she could carry 2 liters of water on a hike. Her previous bladder was a CamelBak brand that held 1.5. Had that one since 2008 and it still holds up. This one was leaking the very first time she used it. It leaks at the port where the drinking tube is inserted. It doesn't leak around the tube though. When I took the tube out and put some pressure on the bladder, I could see water leaking out against the bladder, right beside the yellow release button. (In the picture, I put pressure on the bag for a few seconds and you can see the water which had come out from somewhere near the yellow button and dribbled down.) We put the bladder in a small garbage bag so that she could use it on our other hikes and it continued to leak. When we returned home, I wanted to get a refund for the bladder but through Amazon it showed that I needed to return the bladder in its original packaging, which we had already thrown out before our hiking trip. So then I took the "contact the manufacturer" route. I filled out the form on the Unigear website which said: "Please fill out the quick form and we will be in touch with lightning speed." Well, it's been 3 days and I've heard nothing. I think they meant lightning bug speed. I don't expect to hear anything from them at this point so I'm leaving this review. Clearly disappointed in both the product and their customer service. I should have known better since the picture of the bladder shows water spraying all around it. That is apparently the water leaking out. You can take a chance like I did and hope you get a decent bladder or just go with the tried and true brands that know what they're doing and have the integrity to back their product.
