This bladder is great. there's no bad taste.The connection is secure and the water doesn't spill.
The bite valve works well
Its a little tricky putting the connector back after you refill it.
All in all it was a good buy.

It’s perfect for my needs.I like this because it holds more more water than the 2 liter similar water pouch and great for long hot hikes. It also fits nicely in my day and backpacking pack and is lightweight. Happy hiking.
