This backpack is very comfortable to carry and easy to refill. It took me some time to figure out how it works, but I eventually managed. The water does not change its taste, and I hope that mold will not appear in it. The downsides are the lock—which is exceptionally sturdy—and an uneven seal at the bottom in one spot. I hope it won't leak there.

For some time, I was thinking about buying a hydration bladder and now I regret waiting so long. It’s made excellently and does its job 100%. Finally, I don’t need to struggle during a trek to pull a bottle out of my backpack. A very cool system that works great—you can drink water effortlessly and there’s no strange aftertaste. Additionally, the hose with a braided cover looks really nice. A great product for a great price. I definitely recommend it.

Very nice bladder. Very well made. The tube has a strong sheath which gives the tube significant protection from mechanical damage. Very compact bladder, not only for an assault backpack but also fits cycling backpacks. Highly recommend.
-
It's okay, but required a minor modification. The bladder itself is great, especially for this price. The only minus is that when it’s squeezed into a backpack it leaks a bit, I had to tape it to prevent this. But besides that it's really okay.
-
The bladder looks well made. I was worried that 2l might be too little for a mountain trip, but it turned out it was more than enough. The mouthpiece flow rate is low, so you have to try a bit to get hydrated. When filled, nothing leaks for me, and I carry it in the pocket, such a system in the Mil-Tec Assault Pack backpack – fits perfectly (although I think a 3l would also fit). The hose has a very solid braid, which is a bit stiff and I had trouble arranging it at first. Although I don’t know competing products, at this price, I would recommend it to a friend with a clear conscience.
-
The bladder is well made, 2l is just right. Once filled, nothing leaks for me, I carry it in the assault panel on my vest. The hose has a really nice, soft, well-stitched sheath and fits great. Nice that it has a scale, the mouthpiece also works well. Overall, for this price, the build quality is very good, highly recommended.
-
For me, the M-Tac 2l Olive bladder is the only right choice for mountain trips or extreme running. It survived some of the toughest OCR and cross-country runs. It’s a pity you can't buy the mouthpiece separately. I recommend it to everyone.
-
The bladder is perfect for trips or patrols. It fits various backpacks. The materials used meet my expectations, and the mouthpiece is very tight and easy to use. I recommend it.
-
The hydration bladder does its job, you can slightly taste the plastic but I guess it's standard for a "not broken in" hydration bladder. You have to watch out for the hose, during my last mountain trip when I pulled the hose out from the backpack to have a drink, it twisted off by itself and started leaking. When I took out the bladder, it unscrewed completely. It’s not held very tightly.
-
Overall, I'm a bit disappointed because for a similar price it's better to buy a bladder from Decathlon, which has a more reliable and solid slider, and the fill hole is better thought out. This one feels like cheap plastic – I'll add right away that the bladder doesn't "smell" and has no influence on the taste of the water. Another downside – a leaking valve at the base of the bladder. You can try all sorts of things and tighten it with pliers but every time water would slowly leak out drop by drop – fortunately, Militaria exchanged it for a new one without any issue and this one is already sealed. I have slightly mixed feelings about the mouthpiece, on one hand it’s nice that it has a cap, a solid valve, and can be disassembled, but it's quite big and the water flow is pretty low. You have to suck quite a bit compared to mouthpieces from other manufacturers. On the plus side, definitely the hose insulation, it adds a little weight and you might need to stick it a bit at the base, but overall it’s a very nice solution. Drying is not an issue, but you just need to pay attention to the area near the fill opening – there are some nooks where water holds on and the best is to use a paper towel or hairdryer. In summary – I wouldn’t choose this bladder again, despite some nice features it still just feels really cheaply made – especially the slider/clip and the mounting of the hose at the base of the bladder.

This bladder is really a spacious container that can hold a significant amount of water, which is very practical when traveling. The hose with a cap and lock makes it easy to use, and the ability to easily disassemble and reassemble it makes it convenient and functional. An additional advantage is the thermal insulation around the tube, which helps prevent the water from getting too cold. The securing strip holds firmly, and the shutoff valve and special mouthpiece are extra conveniences. Despite some minor drawbacks, such as drying slowly after washing, the bladder fulfills its function perfectly and deserves recommendation. A fantastic choice for people looking for a durable and convenient water container.
-
Not used yet but it looks good and solid, isn’t heavy despite having a fairly thick insulated tube, but I actually like the insulation. We'll see how it performs in the field. It’s good that it has a top opening, since my old camelbak had an opening on the wall that made it impossible to dry after use, so I hope this one will be better.
-
Interesting hydration bladder, my first so we'll see how it performs during use. Small, ideal for a backpack, the hose with the insulation is pleasant to the touch. The closure is also interestingly designed, we'll see about the durability of the material.
-
I was skeptical about camelbacks. I wanted to give it a try and ordered this one. I found out it's a fantastic solution. You don’t have to take your bottle out of your backpack to have a drink. The price matches the quality. I recommend it.
-
Overall impression is positive, good capacity, secure top closure, low weight, and a plus for the hose insulation. The downsides are two things: first you have to make sure the hose is screwed onto the bladder perfectly and tightly, and it’s only possible to confirm after filling with water. Second, if there was an extra valve before connecting the bladder to the hose, it would be awesome, but at this price, I guess you can’t complain…
