CamelBakFusion 2L Reservoir with Tru Zip Waterproof Zipper, Clear

As per the title, this resevoir does not leak. Camelbak really is the best when it comes to these types of resevoirs. I have used others and they either leak, or the spouts are poor quality. The zipper is solid and leakproof. I’m sure this will stand up to the test of time.

I have always used a camelback for hiking since I was a young kid. And the screw lids were always a pain. This thing is amazing. It’s so nice for putting in ice or stuff and it’s great. I want to get more sizes for different hikes and for my partner because it’s just so much easier to clean and maintain. The other benefit is the screw lids sometimes require you to make them super tight so they don’t leak and then are a struggle to get open. I use it in a variety of bags but mainly my lowepro camera bag it’s a aw 11 I think and the carrier works well to hold onto the bottle. Can’t say enough good things about this thing!

I bought this to compare with an Osprey 3L. I was going to keep the Osprey but decided to try out the CB just for good measure. I was skeptical about the CB zipper, it looks like a huge risk factor, especially as the rubber ages and stops being completely water tight. But it doesn't seem to leek right now, I tested two of them and they simply don't leak at all, which is shocking at a bit of a magic trick in my opinion. Time will tell if they remain leak free, but hopefully that will be many years away and I will gladly buy a replacement. What did shock me was that the Osprey leaked! It seemed to be coming from under the blue handle, not from the fold-over closure at the top. Assuming this was a fluke, I will contrast the two and tell you why I would have kept the CB anyway.First the CB seems a bit flatter when filled to 3L, while the Osprey was round like a barrel. In a multi-day pack full of gear, I need the bladder to be reasonably flat against my back. Both however have a nice plastic backing that will keep them from bunching up or sagging inside the pack.Second, the CB is easier to fill. It has a handle on the back which opens the mouth wide using a single hand, allowing your other hand to do the pouring. You could easily do this inside the pack and save the effort of unpacking while on the trail. The Osprey has a smaller opening that doesn't stay open by itself since the top wants to fold over.Third, that larger opening in the CB zipper makes it a breeze to wipe out with a paper towel, and stays open easily for drying out. I can't get my hand inside the Osprey, and it's harder to air dry through that tight opening. Speaking of drying, both have removable hoses with valves that close while the hose is off, which is fantastic. However the CB hose completely comes off, so you can clean and dry the entire hose separately. The Osprey has a section of hose that remains attached to the bladder, and I'm not sure how I would go about drying that section after a trip.Fourth, a minor comment that the CB bite valve has a very obvious on/off handle. If it's in your way, it's off. The Osprey valve twists and it's not clear which way is on or off. It would require careful inspection to find the microscopic icon of water droplets which I believe represents "on". With the CB you can tell right away and avoid any mishaps of soaking your gear or flooding the back of your car.So CamelBak changed my decision due to it's excellent design. Not to mention the Osprey leaked, which isn't by itself a problem, but implies there is a risk of future leaking even if I got a replacement that didn't leak initially. Fingers crossed that CB zipper stays in-tact, and if so it's my new favorite hydration pack!

Reisverschluss hält super dicht und ist easy zu öffnen. Hatte die Trinkblase direkt auf einer 12 Tägigen Bergtour dabei und sie hat meinen Trip definitiv bereichert.

Attention cette poche à eau est très rigide au niveau de sa fermeture et n’est pas forcément compatible avec la poche à eau de votre sac de trail.A vérifier compatibilité avant d’acheterOuverture pas si pratique que ça finalement 🤔
