Flimsy thin skin water bladder
Gear is by its compact and craftsman ship mostly well thought out. Fit design, way thinner materiel than expected from most items of this nature. But that expected as MUD — is making it light weight.
I do have issues with bladder. The one in the back. Its1 Ltr. It could have more effective being 1.5 Ltr as it’s for running. Trail running or hiking. Second I know it’s for weight but the bladder is flimsy: very thin for cost and being it’s a vital reason - it carried water.
I expected a camel pack design. It has a ziplock type opening not a tight seal screw down. Its not a long lasting durable thick bladder like a camelbak. I bought a 1.5 liter Camel bak and replaced their thin skin less durable water bladder with a camel bak. Way better idea. The mouth piece for drinking it —sticks sometimes making it difficult to open to drink. Camelbak mouth piece design better. Sorry but that the issues. But I still like it. Better with my changes.

Thanks for the feedback James! The TPU that our Hydrapak bladders use is pretty dang tough and just a different durometer that takes loads of abuse! I have some that are 15 years old and still going strong. What I like about the zipper config over the screw top is that the screw top versions can get crazy tight to unscrew after a while and they aren't as easy to clean. I'd suggest giving it a shot at least. But if you like the other one that's great too!
