Title: Get what you pay for
Product review: So, it works as a hydration bladder, as advertised.That said, there's quite the 'rubber' taste to all the water I drink from it... the same smell/taste you get from and inflatable kiddy pool. It's been over a year and multiple fills (over 10) and still can taste it, even with a flavor packet mixed in.I've never had leak problems from the hose, ever. It does sometimes leak from the large top opening if you don't get it sealed -really- tight and may even then leak a very small amount if you leave it upside down with the hose on top (not that you would, since you can't drink from it that way).Would other, more expensive bladders not have these issues? Sure, but if these minor things don't bother you, it will be a perfectly suitable and functional bladder for a good price.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
