SourceSource Widepac Water Tank - 3 Litre, Blue

I have used this system extensively both backpacking and cycling to/from work. No problems with it whatsoever. The opening is very simple, sturdy and practical and allows for quick filling from bottled or potable tap water. (If the sink isn't big enough use a small bottle to transfer the last of the water). Frequent use (daily for six months) didn't take much toll on it, and the parts can be separated for cleaning and hung to dry. Have bought two and will continue to use this system unless something better turns up.

this water bladder has been fantastic. I have used it about 15x already on hikes and even cycling. compared to other water bladders, you dont get a weird medicinal taste in your water after it's been washed. the wide opening makes for the easiest water bladder to clean as well. even at full volume capacity, it does not leak at all. really good product, a bit more on the expensive side, but worth it.

I love everything about these packs, the antibacterial/grunge guard features that keep the water tasting fresh, the ease of cleaning, the ease of re-filling and just the overall quality. Better than CamelBak in my opinion, and much better value. This is my second Widepac, after I bought the 2L version last summer.

Holds a lot of water and doesn't leak. Taste isn't overpowering.

No plastic taste, easy to clean, reliable bite valve

This has been a great product I've used on many hikes since buying. Easy to fill and use. It fits in my backpack with no problems and has a 3L capacity which is more than enough for me. Easy to clean also. Highly recommend.

I do hiking and mountain biking, both things that would benefit from a hydration bladder. The first one I bought was sold as an uswe brand, but was actually made by hydrapac. It tasted absolutely terrible, like drinking from a swimming pool. I tried everything I could to get rid of the bad taste, washing in the dishwasher, retainer tablets, bicarb etc and although it got a little better, I was still finding the water was undrinkable, particularly if it had been in the bladder for a couple of hours or more.So I bought this source bladder and even on the first use it didn't have a bad taste. I've just come back from a five hour hike and the water still tastes great. So if I were you I'd buy this one, simple.

Great piece of kit whilst travelling long distance in a car, from UK to Mongolia in fact. We hooked it on the back of the headrest and filled it up when we could buy bottled water. It's more convenient and safer to drink out the tube whilst driving.We also put the Widepac on the back seat well in a cooler box to keep it cool whilst travelling through Iran.[...]
