2.0L Hydration Reservoir — Replacement Bladder
Product description
This hydration reservoir holds 2.0 liters of water and includes the bladder, a detachable drinking tube, and a screw-in bite valve with a soft, flexible mouthpiece and an integrated on/off control.
The bladder features a wide-mouth opening that makes adding ice and performing a thorough clean or rinse straightforward. The cap is low profile so the filled pouch nests neatly in most hydration compartments without adding bulk.
The drinking tube disconnects from the reservoir for deep cleaning and drying, and the bite valve screws into the hose with an easy-to-use on/off slider at the mouthpiece. The construction is flexible, food‑safe plastic designed for repeated use and pack storage.
To use, uncap the wide opening to fill with water or ice, attach the tube and screw in the bite valve, then stow the bladder in your pack. After use the hose detaches to allow access to the interior for cleaning and drying.

- Screw-in bite valve with soft tip and on/off control
Cons

- Some units have arrived damaged or leaked
- Threads on new caps can feel stiff initially
VerdictThis 2.0L hydration reservoir is a straightforward replacement bladder that focuses on practical features: a removable hose for deep cleaning, a wide mouth that accepts ice and simplifies drying, and a screw-in bite valve with a soft tip and shutoff. It packs flat thanks to a low-profile cap and swaps into compatible packs with minimal fuss. Occasional units have arrived damaged and the hose-threa

Arrived damaged and leaked
The unit was broken on arrival and leaked during a 6+ mile hike. Customer service charged me again instead of replacing or refunding; very disappointed.

I read other buyers’ comments first and decided to buy. It arrived and works as expected — simple and effective.

Solid replacement bladder
This replacement performs like the original did when new. Very happy with it and it was cheaper than buying just a valve.

Straight swap with easy cleaning
I replaced the torn hose with this bladder. The large opening makes filling and cleaning easy, and the cap stays attached so it won’t get lost. New threads are a bit stiff but should loosen with use; fits well and accepts ice.

Better filling but hose swapping limited
The reinforced opening makes filling simpler and the bite valve’s local shutoff helps prevent leaks. However, the threaded hose connection has no shutoff, so you can’t detach the hose and expect the bladder to hold water on its own.

Good value and durable
Sturdy and good quality. I only wish it included a cap for the mouthpiece; otherwise no leaks.

Survived a four-day trek without leaking. Large opening made cleaning and drying easy, and seams held up well.

Great replacement with useful extras
Replaced ones chewed by our cat — this has a mouth shutoff and a detachable bite piece for deep cleaning. Very convenient.
