Cooped Up? Get Uncooped.

I've tried out a lot of hydration packs. Mountain biking, trail running, hiking, mountaineering; you name it, I've probably had a water pack on my back, and of all the ones that I've tried from different companies, Hydrapak's Reversible Reservoir II is head and shoulders above the rest. 

I could talk about how you can turn it inside out (for easy cleaning) or how much I like the plug 'n play connector (that allows you to disconnect the hose even when the bladder's full), but what really makes it stand out is just how much you can beat the thing up, thanks to it's thermoplastic polyurethane (whitewater raft material).  I'm constantly surprised by the abuse that this reservoir puts up with; you've got to try really hard to break one of these things.

For instance, I wouldn't recommend doing this with any other reservoir:

And even if you do manage to break one, Hydrapak offers a lifetime guarantee against leakage in the reservoir, the hose, and the bite valve.

No matter what pack I take along with me, I always sub in a Hydrapak reservoir. These things are bombproof.

You can pick one up at Hydrapak.com for $27.99.
