10 Reviews: Best 2 Liter Hydration Bladder (Mar 2023)

It’s critical to stay hydrated while staying cool. With the 2-Liter Hydration Backpack, you may do both by adding a misting function to your existing Personal Cooling System (PCS) pump. Thanks to a drinking tube and compatibility with your existing misting system, you can hydrate on the go while enjoying a lovely, stimulating mist. An insulated reservoir cover keeps your water cold, while mesh panels on the pack keep your outdoor essentials organized. Thanks to its simple drinking and storage options, this pack can convert a hot day on the trail into a joyful outdoor experience.

This hydration blader improves on the constraints of the foldover, drybag design by adding two big pinch holes at the top that make it simpler to grip the plastic envelope while also forcing the bag`s mouth open. The 1.5 Liter Streamer allows for regular hydration without interfering with sporting activities, allowing you to hydrate while on the go. The streamer clip makes it simple to open for quick filling or cleaning.

Water tasted great which was a much better experience than others had with Camelback products. The opening for filling was also a nice benefit not offered by other systems. When cooking you can pull the slider off and use the opening to easily pour water into your cook pot rather than trying to get the water through the tube.

A+ in most areas, Aquamira Pressurized Reservoir works well. Notable (and novel) feature is the pressure system. It features an ellipsoidal air pump, like the classic blood pressure devices. Inflate the reservoir using this pump. Pumping it drives water out of the air compartment via the suction hose. Unlike other water bladders, Aquamira handles the pressing for you. Aquamira is composed of tough TPU and is BPA-free. It has a zip-top reservoir that opens full-width like a pouch and has 1.5L, 2L, and 3L capacities (100 oz).

I use this 2 liter bag when i paraglide. It serves two purposes. Adds weight when needed for a turbulent day and serves its purpose as water for drinking on the hike up and during flight. I have had no issues with leaking or anything and great quality. 2:30 min flight today with this water pack keeping me safe and hydrated

The Hoser combines Platypus’ tried-and-true flexible water bottle form with an adjustable tube to create one of the most intriguing and simple setups. That means you may wear this hydration pack on your back while simultaneously carrying the company’s 0.5, 1, 2, 4, and 6L Bottles and Tanks. Simply remove the tube and replace the caps with a full bag after you’ve completed the first.

We used this for my husband when he was moved from ICU and too weak to lift a cup. We simply hung it from his IV pole and laid the mouthpiece by his head. He was able to take a sip in the middle of the night without having to call for help. It was a huge relief to him.

Over time, the Big Zip Low Profile reservoir has shown its durability and reliability. One of the few low-profile bladders that fits easily into any backpack or pack. One of the few reservoirs that emphasizes health is the Platypus Big Zip, which is comprised of a combination of polyethylene and polyurethane. It’s also packed with silver-ion, which protects against mold and bacterial illness. The Platypus Big Zip comes in a clear, translucent color. This enables you to inspect the quality of your water and removes the risk of ingesting polluted water.

I took this on a long range patrol training class and it was phenomenal. Most bladders are 1 or 2 liters and the guys were running out of water way before any resupplies. This thing is also so easy to fill and seal up. It got thrown around quite a bit in the middle of nowhere and it's perfect. I do wish there was some kind of small cover over the mouth cap though.. I might try to come up with something.

It’s a wonderful bladder, with a detachable tube and a magnetic mouthpiece that stows nicely on the company’s packs. Osprey has moved to a fold-over, dry-bag closure that is easier to clean. While placing a full reservoir into a fully packed pack, the hydrostatic backerplate provides support and maintains a flat profile. All of the components are BPA-free, phthalate-free, lead-free, and food-safe.

Have multiple Osprey products but this bladder is the newest product and best so far. the hard backing makes inserting it into a full backpack very easy. additionally, the new design where there is now a connector in the middle of the tube, it allows you to pull out the bladder from the backpack and disconnect the drinking tube without the need to pull the whole tube out and re-insert it. love the new improved design.

Any other water reservoir is heavier, quieter, and less durable. The Badlands is available in 1L, 2L, and 3L sizes and is composed of 0.25mm thick Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU). The legendary Badlands Unconditional Lifetime Warranty adds to the product’s long-term value. In two aspects, the Badlands TPU hose is unique. The Plug-N-Playtube connection, for starters, makes tube attachment and separation a breeze. This increases the bladder’s flexibility during cleaning and makes refilling easier. Second, the hose is equipped with a built-in foam insulation technology that keeps the water colder for longer. If you’ve ever drank warm water in sweltering heat, you’ll enjoy the Hydrafusion insulating technology used in this reservoir.

At the beginning, I was a bit skeptical about this purchase because I thought $30 is a lot for just a bladder and a hose. I'm relieved now, however, that this is a top quality product, easy to use, easy to clean and seems like it should last a long time. Also the fact that it comes with a great lifetime warranty, as does all Badlands gear, makes it a 5 start rating in the value department. One thing I was particularly skeptical about at first was that the pack I bought this for, the Superday, requires the 2 liter size. When the bladder comes out of the package it doesn't look very big. However, I discovered that 2 liters is plenty to keep me well hydrated during the day-long hunts this thing accompanies me on. Well done badlands!

The bladder is held together by a center baffle, which prevents water from splashing about. Because to its modest size, the center baffle fits well into most hydration backpacks. Hydrapak hydration bladders are also reversible, making them easy to clean and dry. The bladder may be washed in a dishwasher with ease. The tube is detachable and contains a twist-lock high-flow biting valve. Antibacterial treatment is also applied to the reservoir to prevent the growth of germs and mold. A Quantum Clip is included to fasten the tube to the backpack. HydraPak also has mouthpiece coverings, tube cleaning brushes, and insulators for sale.

I've used this pretty regularly for 8 months now and it works flawlessly. Being able to turn the bag inside out has been phenomenal. After every hike I turn it inside out so it can properly dry and I never have to clean the bag. But it is dishwasher safe if you really wanted to clean it good. I did replace the hose on day 1 with an insulated hose due to personal preference. I will never buy a different bag again!

This hydration bladder features a characteristic that isn’t seen in many others: pressured water flow. A Plug and Play connector links the top of the bladder to a second hose with a power bulb. To maintain the pressure high, the bulb may be used to pump air into the water bladder as it empties. This feature comes in handy while drinking during high-intensity activities since it reduces the need to put effort to get the water out. It can also be used to share water (which you may spray), clean your equipment, and even keep your dog hydrated!

Brilliant engineering for this water bladder. The fact that you can pressurize it takes it A Step Above the Rest. Cleaning is much easier because you can flip it inside out. I use this for hiking, I use it for watering my dogs while hunting. Comes in a variety of sizes. Bite nozzle is good-sized, but not bulky and inconvenience.

The 14-ounce pack has a vented mesh back panel and straps to keep your back cool. The 420D Ripstop fabric ensures that it will endure a long time and will not wear out. For such a little bag, the major storage compartment spans the length of the pack, making it rather substantial. A pocket holds the bladder in place. The adjustable bungee straps may be used to hold extra items, and there is an open mesh pocket underneath them. The High Flow Bite-Valve has a dust cover and a push-button valve that allows water to flow freely while preventing drips. The tube may be fastened to the shoulder strap right below the emergency safety whistle on the chest strap.

Compact, lightweight, and tough. It was a perfect hydration pack to do a 12 hour hike up and down a rocky mountain side in Southern Arizona. It carried a lot of stuff in addition to the nearly 2 liters of water to keep me hydrated ...a windbreaker coat and gloves for the cool night, several power food bars for sustenance, a monocular for sighting, a battery pack for my iPhone, a small flashlight for the darkness, and a small first aid kit for the "just in case". For the price ...a sure bargain.
