5.0 out of 5 stars Great addition when riding on motorcycle
I use this water bladder in my backpack while riding a motorcycle it allows me to drink without taking off my helmet! It’s made from PEVA, which is BPA-free and non-toxic, and although I can’t personally verify this, it has all the necessary safety markings. I got the 2L model, which is more than enough for my rides, and at £13.99 at the time of the review it, it’s reasonably priced.Filling it up can be a bit tricky, though. It’s almost impossible to get a full 2 liters in due to the design, which seems to be a common issue with these systems (maybe to allow for ice cubes?). Still, it works well for my needs, and I haven’t had any leaks or punctures yet. I’ve used it quite a bit for riding, and once the weather gets nicer, I’m looking forward to taking it out even more.
4.0 out of 5 stars Good Water Bladder
This is a water bladder with a design much like many others on Bolo.It is made from PEVA Poly Ethylene Vinyl Acetate, which is strong, flexible, and see-thru.It has a wide opening, which makes it easy to refill, and wash.It has a hose with which to decant the water contents.There is a valve at the mouth-piece which allows you to open and close the water flow as needed.Even with the valve open, you still need to squeeze the silicone nozzle with your teeth (or fingers) for water to flow.There are some pictorial instructions on the bladder itself, but the Bolo listing has better detailed instructions.The bladder is indeed waterproof with no leaks. I filled it with water, and then did some press-ups on the bladder. Happily, there were no leaks or bursting during my press-ups. I estimate I put 40 - 50kg of weight on the bladder. It is stated to be safe up to 70kg of weight.Initially, I was confused, as hardly any water was flowing when I bit the nozzle. Then I looked at the Bolo listing, and saw that I needed to pull on the back of the valve to open it up. Then everything flowed much better.I'm not sure I prefer the 8cm wide opening. Yes it might be convenient, but it is also more bulky. I would prefer a smaller opening, which is less bulky, and weighs less.Finally, the hose is almost 100cm long - much longer than I would need. I am considering cutting it shorter and then re-fitting the mouthpiece on the shorter section. I think I might even shorten it to 35cm.There is a bit of a plasticky taste when filling the first time. I am hoping that taste dissipates with some time, use and aeration.There are 3 sizes of bladder available (1.5L, 2.0L, 3.0L). They are fairly large - probably larger than you would expect. I would measure the listed sizes before you buy, so you are not surprised with the size when they arrive. Weight = 175g.Overall, I'm happy with the product.Update -I shortened the drinking tube to about 1/3rd of its original length. I just cut it with a knife, and then fitted the valve connection back on. The tubing is quite stiff, and didn't want to stretch, but a warm with a hair dryer made the tubing soft for the pushing the valve back on. Easy fix.
5.0 out of 5 stars High quality water bladder
My trusted 3L bag finally burst this summer so I've been after a replacement. This one fits the bill perfectly.The plastic is PEVA and has no odour or taint. The opening to the bladder is large, enough to get a hand in to clean or to easily fill with ice cubes. The screw cap is easy to engage - sometimes with these sorts of bladders they can be a challenge and cross thread easily when the bladder is full. Pleased to see that there isn't another opening at the top which is often the case because I find those an absolute PITA to close with the sliding clips that are commonly used.The drinking tube is detachable which is great for cleaning, and fits securely without leaks. The bite cap works well, I prefer the all silicone ones, but this one is fine and I will just replace it with a silicone one when the time inevitably comes.I'm really pleased with this and it's good value at £14.99
5.0 out of 5 stars Good quality & value
This water bladder is equally suited for use as a replacement within a purpose made hydration backpack or simply to add hydration capability to a standard backpack. It’s good to see the material of both the bladder itself and the tubing is BPA free. The opening for filling is a good size making it easy to both fill up and critically to get inside to clean properly. Where the pipe connects to the bladder there is a quick release connector which seals automatically when the pipe is removed which is particularly useful if you need to fill up before putting into the backpack and connecting the pipe. Everything seems well sealed and it feels robust.At just under £12 (£14 with 15% voucher) at time of review this is good value.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great for hiking
I use this for hiking and very long runs, and it's pretty helpful.I like that it is easy to use, you just need to bite and suck so it's easy to use one handed when walking.Surprisingly easy to clean too with a big mouth.

5.0 out of 5 stars Decent hydration pack with all required features.
It doesn’t leak.It has a robust hose.It has the openings for holding it vertical in your rucksack.I can drink from it with a good flow rate (once I realised I had to open the valve fully).It has a dust cap, although the connection for that looks flimsy and may not be durable.
5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to use and clean
Ordered this to go inside my compatible rucksack for when cycling. The screw cap is very easy to open and leaves a large hole - so very easy to fill and clean etc, seems leakproof and very easy system to drink. Overall a well made quality item.
