Badlands Hydration Reservoir with Insulated Drinking Tube

I have a badlands hunting pack with a hydration pouch. The pouch doesnt fit normal hydration bladders, it has to be a square shape. This bladder fit perfectly. I have only had it for about a month but so far so good. Build quality looks good. A little pricey compared to most but it is the only one that fits

Had a bit of a smell of rubber or plastic and kinda tasted the same. However it did hold water and kept me hydrated on my hike regardless of the nasty taste.

I gave it 5 stars although been havnt ng difficulty re attatching the hise back onto the bladder, i believe because there mayb some ice in the contraption in the bladder, i usually throw it in the freezer after emptying it, otherwise e tremely easy to keep clean can reverse it inside out WOOOW!!!

This was a gift and he loved it.

I bought this rather expensive smaller bladder for shorter bike trips. In 2019 (the year of the purchase), the device worked well. But this year, the connector to the bladder failed. The tubing would not connect, no matter how much pressure was exerted. The bladder itself was probably used less than two dozen times. For the price of this bladder, I would have expected more than just one season of use. I cannot recommend this product based on how quickly and completely the connection failed.

I am using this in a Haley Strategic Flat Pack. I think the quality of the bladder is great, it hasnt leaked on me yet and I did beat on it pretty good. Only aspect of it I dont like is the flow of the hose (tube). I would have preferred a larger diameter water hose to make it easier gulp the water down.

At the beginning, I was a bit skeptical about this purchase because I thought $30 is a lot for just a bladder and a hose. Im relieved now, however, that this is a top quality product, easy to use, easy to clean and seems like it should last a long time. Also the fact that it comes with a great lifetime warranty, as does all Badlands gear, makes it a 5 start rating in the value department. One thing I was particularly skeptical about at first was that the pack I bought this for, the Superday, requires the 2 liter size. When the bladder comes out of the package it doesnt look very big. However, I discovered that 2 liters is plenty to keep me well hydrated during the day-long hunts this thing accompanies me on. Well done badlands!

Assembly was easy sounds great . 2013 Dodge Ram express

Nicely built. works good.

Works as described and hold water well. Makes my camel-bak look bad. Will buy again and more of the products.
