Osprey Hydraulics LT Backpack Water Reservoir with Bite Valve

I bought this as a desperate upgrade when my cheap High Sierra failed miserably during a training hike in the heat. The first time I used it was in the desert heat in Arizona a week after I got it. Absolutely no complaints, love the adjustable mouth piece, water flows easily, good quality, sturdy, very happy with this purchase.

Girlfriend bought Osprey pack, I got her this bladder. She has been using it over a year; no problems, and likes how it opens better than Camelbak bladder. It has a hook designed for pack. A little pricey, but it we expect it will work for many years.

It took me some time to realize that I need to shut off the valve to stop the leakage on the car ride home, but once I did, this bladder has been flawless. Operator error has been my only troubles so far. It holds plenty of water for a 5-6 mile hike. My only complaint is that it was a big pricey. Fits absolutely perfectly in my Osprey hiking pack. No weird taste that I’ve noticed. Seems to be rigid enough to last for years to come.

LOVE this product. Easy to use, clean and store, this running reservoir fits my Osprey running vest perfectly and gets me through every long run. Clearly high quality materials and easy to put together.

Works great! Fits my backpack perfectly.

This is the best reservoir I have ever used. Osprey does it best. Easy to fill, the mouth opens wide with one hand. Durable, I trail run and have never had a problem, I use they Osprey Dyna (yes, the men's) hydration pack.

One star because it leaked immediately on first use. The very first time I filled the reservoir, water started leaking from the seam where the reservoir body connects to the baffle. This wasn’t user error or overfilling — it’s a manufacturing or bonding defect. A hydration reservoir is useless if it can’t hold water reliably, especially when brand new. I expected much better quality control from Osprey. Would not recommend unless quality issues are resolved.

This worked great for a day hike. Probably about 4.5 hours of hiking, and it emptied about 1/5 of the way back down the mountain.

As a keen long distance hiker I was looking for a suitable replacement for my old 2l bladder. I got 2.5l Osprey hydraulics bladder. I have used it for a while now and experienced no issues at all. The bite valve is pretty sturdy and does not leak. Tubes are also good quality. The only thing that can be a bit faffy, if you are using Osprey rucksack, is to put the full bladder into the bladder slot. But I would imagine that if you use other rucksacks with wider bladder slot, there would not be an issue at all. Easy to fill up/empty and clean via wide opening. Overall really good piece of kit for a good price.

Borraccia comodissima, di buona fattura, molto pratica, riesce a contenere tranquillamente due litri di acqua. È la soluzione ideale per chi non vuole avere due borraccie nelle tasche dello zaino e dover sfilare ogni volta lo zaino per bere. Uno aspetto da considerare è che vi diminuirà lo spazio disponibile all'interno dello zaino per il trasporto di altre cose. Ma per me il fatto di avere sempre la cannuccia di acqua a disposizione è impagabile.

This bladder has been upgraded a bit from the original 2.5L bladder that came with my 2022 Osprey Raptor 10L. It has a red handle which makes it easier to fill and a quick connect main hose. The bite valve feels a bit softer & easier to get water to flow through it. The small lever to turn the flow on/off is easier to use if you forget to turn it on while riding. The lever has a light-ish ratchet feel to set it at different flow rates but I only set it fully On or Off. I find It a lot better than the original bite valve (which I'd replaced early on with an old but larger camelbak on/off tap & mouth piece which was infinitely easier to use at the time). The price for this was good as the older style bladder was also available new but quite a bit more expensive than this model.

Produit conforme, s'adapte évidemment très bien avec sac Osprey. Pas de goût. Solide dans le temps.

Ich kann die negativen Rezensionen überhaupt nicht bestätigen: weder ist er undicht noch richt er nach Plastik. 3x ausgespült und das Wasser schmeckt frisch und neutral. Die 1,5 l Version ist perfekt, nicht weil sie leichter als die 2,5 l Variante ist, sondern weil sie gefüllt weniger Platz im Rucksack (Osprey Hikelite 18l) wegnimmt. Und wenn man nicht gerade durch die Wüste läuft gibt an jeder Ecke Wasser: ergo 1,5l reichen völlig. Der Beutel ist durch die Innenstege sehr Formstabil er bleibt flach. Kupplung, Absperrhahn und Beißventil funktionieren einwandfrei bei umsichtiger Behandlung steht m. E. einer langen Lebensdauer nichts im Wege. Denke nach 5 Jahren ist der Produktlebenszyklus eh abgelaufen da sich dann die Weichmacher verflüchtigt haben, ab das weiß man ja sonst hätte man zur Aluflasche gegriffen und auf den enormen Komfort und die erhöhten Ausgaben verzichtet. Fazit: teuer, gut und ein absoluter Luxus der, wenn man bereit ist ihn sich zu gönnen, den Spaßfaktor am Wandern noch mal deutlich erhöht. Das Gewicht ist da wo es sein soll tief und nahe am Rücken und der nächste Schluck kein 10cm entfernt. Selbst zum Trocknen nach dem Reinigen gibt es einen Aufhänger. was will man mehr? Klare Kaufempfehlung, wenn Rucksack dafür ausgelegt und das nötige Kleingeld dafür übrig ist.
