It’s hard for me to assess this clearly, because I’m not sure myself which opinion I lean toward more. On the plus side: the whole thing looks really good and can easily be attached to a backpack. The reservoir itself can be removed easily, and the tube can be detached, which makes cleaning and everyday use much easier. On the other hand, the smaller reservoir really holds very little. I managed to pour in a maximum of about 800–900 ml, and that was almost to the brim, yet when screwing on the large cap, some liquid still spills out. As a result, the capacity is quite small for an accessory of this size. Another issue is that the reservoir can leak if the cap is not tightened completely, literally all the way. Even so, I wouldn’t say it’s a very bad product; it’s just that everyone has to judge for themselves whether it will suit their gear and needs.
The Mil-Tec hydration system includes a protective cover and a 1-liter reservoir insert. Constructed from durable and abrasion-resistant polyester, the cover features a MOLLE/PALS mounting system, enabling secure attachment of the hydration reservoir to a tactical vest or backpack.
The reservoir insert is crafted from thermoplastic polyurethane and is equipped with a wide opening for straightforward refilling and cleaning. An integrated scale ensures precise measurement and easy monitoring of the water level.
A hydration tube featuring an antibacterial valve and a protective mouthpiece cap is included with the system. The MOLLE/PALS compatibility of the cover permits the addition of extra pouches or compartments as needed.

Nice equipment, quite sturdy, can be attached to the outside of a backpack, has a MOLLE system. 1 liter capacity is sufficient for trips... does the job in hot weather. I recommend it.

This is my first time using a hydration system and I'm pleasantly surprised. Everything seems fairly solid, I recommend removing the rubber bladder from the material when pouring water, it's more convenient. You also have to be careful with the hose on the bladder, because after some time it loosened a bit and started to leak, but it was enough to tighten it and everything was fine. My wife laughs a bit when I drink from it, but I'm glad I don't have to reach for a bottle every now and then, and the Molle attachment fits the backpack nicely.
