Osprey Hydraulics Hydration Reservoir & Flask

Great quality and fits fantasticly well in my osprey rucksack! No leaks and really easy to fill up with the handle that comes with. I did struggle with drying it completely but I placed it in the freezer when not in use and this works well to prevent bacteria build up.

I have now been using this for around 1 year while hiking in Scotland and abroad with no issues. It’s thick and well made and is showing zero signs of leaking like other ones I have had. Usual plastic taste to start but after a few uses it’s fine. Fits well in my pack and the magnet design for the straw is really handy!

I bought this Osprey 2l for a long-distance, 12 hour walk and the 2l capacity was ideal. It fitted into my existing rucksack and the drink hose was an ideal length to route over the shoulder and onto the supplied magnet clip. There was a useful 'open here' tab to indicate which plastic layers were intended to separate for filling, which was then easy. Unfortunately, there was no indication on the product, or on the packaging as to which way the top folded over to close and I got the blue clip half way on, before realising that I'd folded it the wrong way. This was enough to put a small tear at the top of the hydration bladder, which then leaked when refilled above the 1l level. Otherwise, all good- I didn't think the plastic taste was too bad, as others have mentioned. The mouthpiece and tap worked well with no leakage, as did the in-line connector of the tube to the bladder. So, only 4 stars, but better labelling or a picture on the packaging would have made it 5 stars for me.

Have been using Osprey reservoirs for ages, and this one is a really good additional and updated version. The new "handle" fixture does make holding it while filling a lot easier than the old scoop handle did. The inner baffles now added ( similar to the old LT versions ) also mean it keeps its shape a lot better and lowers the profile quite a lot, meaning that the compatibility with various backpacks increases. I have seen comments about off tastes when using and would say that the first use did have a slight off note, but a soak in water for a day or so then good clean got rid of that without problem and it hasn't been noticed since. The tube is a little shorter than the older ones, so that might have to be considered if you are mixing and matching with older mouthpiece tubes ( which do all fit, as the main attachments are all the same ). Nice little update to already good reservoirs.

it would be zero if i could.. Am using this on a walk and the connection where the pipe comes from the bladder body is leaking . Poor service again feom amazon cannot find a way of sorting this... useless

As you would expect from Osprey this is a great product. Yes, you can by an equivalent for 1/3 the price, but it’s the little things that make the difference. The opening makes refilling super simple and is 100% watertight in my experience. The best bit is the release valves. You can disconnect and reconnect the bladder so easily with virtually zero spill and the drink tube is totally disturbed. The magnetic clip for the mouthpiece is also genius. I did a two day ultra with this and it was the best bit of kit I had with me. When you need the simple stuff to work flawlessly with no stress, this was spot on.

Easy to set up, no strange taste.... Has been great during training hikes and was perfect on our everest base camp trek... Good bit of kit 👍

Fits in all of our Osprey rucksacks and backpacks and is easy too fill and use on the go. No bad taste of plastic left in your mouth either. Seems to be well made and robust thanks to thicker materials being used.

Très facile d utilisation pour mon sac à dos hikelite26. L insérer, le remplir, le nettoyer. Et semble très solide.

Perfect size for day hikes

This is my 3rd Reservoir (the first 2 are other brands). And I must say this is the best. The stiff back provided make it a lot easier to slide into a full backpack. There is also a small hole to hang it outside down and by sliding the cover into it, it drains it and it was totally dry the next morning. My previous 2 bladders dont try properly and algae alwasy start growing after a while

Super poche à eau qui vieillit bien.le tuyau déconnectable est un plus pour le nettoyage et pour le remplissage en cas de long trek.

Lo mejor de un artilugio cuando vas en bicicleta por carriles es no darte cuenta de que lo llevas. Esto es lo que pasa con esta bolsa de hidratación. Ni sientes que la llevas. Eso sí, en una buena mochila para bicicleta.
