Nathan Hydration Bladder

I see all of the reviews that state that this bladder is not like the original or leaks right away or the tube pops out, but that is not my experience so far. I have been using it in my Nathan running vests for the past 6 months or so and there have been no problems at all. The materials and quality look exactly the same as the 2 liter bladder I got with one Nathan vest. It is easy to detach and attach the drink tube. The bladder is easy to clean and fill. The only thing I wish it came with was the magnetic drink tube attachment. But, I knew it did not when I ordered it.So far, it works great.

I purchased this bladder a few months ago to replace one I had gotten that no matter how much I cleaned it, the mouth piece looked disgusting. I'm very disappointed that with only using it a handful of times, the bladder has a hole where the hose connects and is unusable. These things are not cheap so I think they should last much longer.

I've purchased a 2L bag for my camping/hiking trips.This is my first hydration bladder, so I am not comparing it against any other products. These comments are solely based on my experience after using this product for about 10 months.Pros Easy to fill The bag will not give water odor or taste even after 24 hours Durable materialCons Difficult to turn on/off Difficult to disassemble the bag and the tube for cleaning No option available for bite valve cover (must DIY if you want one)To me, cons are greater than pros as my fingers start hurting after turning on and off the valve especially during cold seasons, and I cannot disassemble the tubing myself without a help of a male member of my family. I tend to think that the bite valve touching everything (my sweaty clothes, etc.) is gross and need some cover. While there are positive things about this product, I am going to purchase a new bladder from a different brand.

I purchased this bladdder for a trip to Philmont Scout Ranch with my son. This was in a side pocket of my pack. The material is flexible and very durable. I is easy to fill and the hose did not kink up on me at all. The only reason I did not give it a 5 star rating was that the plastic slide retaining string broke after a week. It is only there to keep from losing the bladder slide clip, but it is easy to replace with some alternative if you wish.

I ran across the street and was greeted with a soaking wet back as the clip came unattached and the water went everywhere inside my hydrator backpack. I promptly returned this item to Amazon as it did not meet my needs at all.

The hose will not clip into the water bladder. Three people have tried this for about an hour and could not figure it out. I am returning this product.

I ordered as a spare Bladder; Nathan product is awesome!! Both vest and original Bladder have held up through SPartan Trifecta 2013!

The access to fill the bladder is fantastic, the seal has been perfect so far with no leaks. My only complaint would be that the flow from the bite valve is fairly slow. The bite valve doesn't lock easily with one hand either. The upside is that so far the bite valve doesn't leak at all. I prefer the flow rate of the CamelBack bite valves and the locking mechanism that they use. That said, I will probably order another of these bladders as the fill and cleaning of it is excellent.

Mir war wichtig keine stinkende Plastik Trinkblase zu bekommen.Die Blase stinkt auch überhaupt nicht, der Verschluss ist super und dank dem Clip passt sie auch perfekt in meinen Dakine Rucksack. Man braucht also nicht extra einen kompatiblen Rucksack der gleichen Marke.Der Trinkschlauch ist allerdings etwas schwer zu entfernen, hat man ihn erstmal in der Öffnung drinnen. Es wäre natürlich praktisch nicht jedes mal den Schlauch rauszufummeln für das Auffüllen, aber mit aller Kraft den Schlauch wieder zu lösen möchte ich lieber nicht. Nicht das er noch ausleiert und eventuell undicht wird.Mir gefällt sehr gut, das man die Trinkblase durch den Clip Verschluss sehr gut reinigen kann. (Besser als bei Camelback mit Drehverschluss)

Hello I bought this drinking bags some months ago for my backpack. The main idea was to install this drinking system to my backpack, so that I could drink during snowboarding. First of all I must say they are made from Eco-friendly materials (polypropylene, some inert plastics which are also used in medicine). During drinking the water and other staff does not smell strange. The closing mechanism is also safe. I gave 4 stars because the part which is for mouth in the end of pipe can easily come out and get lost. One should be careful with that.

Good replacement for the original. The only problem is the spout does not clip into the back-pack clip as the original did, so I stuff it into the pocket on the strap.

der plastikgeschmack braucht leider eine weile bis er sich verflüchtigtansonsten war alles dicht, gut auffüllbar, gut zu reinigenbeim wandern super praktisch

Ultraspireのサージで使用するために購入しましたが、ちょうどぴったりのサイズでした。サージの大きさのパックでのジョギング、トレラン時間を考えると１．５Lという容量もちょうどよかったです。唯一の不満点は、洗う時に本体とチューブを分解するのに、結構力が必要なことです。それ以外は、タイトルにあるように「期待通り」の買い物でした。
