Quality used to be in every product but now it's a word I use less and less often. I think that any company that offers a lifetime guarantee knows that they are making a quality product. I am confident that I could run this over in my car and it wouldn't break. What else can you say that about? This was a good addition to my Eagle Industries AIII hydration capable backpack. I also ordered a CamelBak 100-Ounce UnBottle for use outside of my pack. Either way, CamelBak make superior quality products.

I am replacing a very old reservoir that originally came with my camelbak pack. The quality and construction of this one is much better. The plastic in is thicker and the quality is more visual. The opening is stronger. Rather than just constantly selling what they've already created, they appear to be improving what was already great.

I climbed Mt Rainier with this hydration reservoir and wanted additional water storage without a lot of weight or frills, and this puppy fit the bill very well. It has proven to be very durable (even when I have dropped it and abused it on the mountain).

So why ding it for 1 star? This particular model claims to have a pure water taste without any plastic flavor. I did not find that to bear out, as I could taste the plastic in the water. I soaked it a few days with a couple liters of water and a few tablespoons of lemon juice and that has resolved the plastic flavor.

So -- great, inexpensive hydration bag. Overall I'm happy with my purchase. I just recommend taking care of the plastic flavor before you use it.

The tube is permantly fixed to the storage bag. A good camelbak has detachable tubing for easy replacement.

Great bladder seems nicer then the original that came with my Camelbak (replaced my 70oz and my wife's 35oz). ONE NOTE: it shows the straight through mouthpiece in the pic and when you add it to your cart it shows the 90 degree valve with on/off valve. It comes with the straight through valve (bummer).

I really like this product. it works great, holds a good amount of liquid and is very convenient when on a mountain bike. The only thing i think needs a bit of improvement is the nozzle to drink out of. it is a bit slow and hard at times to bite and drink. It takes some getting use to but overall it is a great product for the price. A good tip is to use a large plastic bag around the container in a backpack to avoid cleaning up the condensation.

The one pictured is not the one I received. The one I received has detachable tube. Hopefully it does NOT leak.

UPDATE, No leaks so far !

I'm a huge Camelbak fan, so when I needed 100oz hydration bladders for our Osprey Stratos 24 and 40 backpacks, it was a no brainer. They're bulletproof, and the design is simple and straightforward....just what you want out in the back country. There's no special fittings that might break or start leaking, nothing to assemble or take care of, and nothing that can fail.

Wash and rinse them after use, keep them dry in storage, and they'll last years. The Camelbak cleaning kit is must have, in this respect.

I love the convenience of having a CamelBak reservoir: it packs nicely out of the way in my rucksack and I can hydrate while hiking without having to pause and mess around with water bottles. However, I used my new reservoir for a 5 week/500 mile hike and I'm wondering when it will stop tasting like chemicals. Next hike?

great product, 100oz capacity, wide mouth easy to fill/clean. Only drawback is that I should have purchased the insulated sleeve so I could use it outside of my hydration capable backpack in cold weather situations.
