I've used countless and relentless combinations of hydration and found a reoccurring need: Something portable, rugged and insulated that could function independently, be stashed under outer layers, in a larger pack, attached to a larger pack or used as hydration storage in proximity (e.g. in a vehicle or in a storage bag on a bike). The insulation factor allows it be used for everything mentioned above in nearly any climate and any season. 500 denier fabric, heavy duty zippers and pro spec attachments are a few of the highlights as listed in the description. The hydraulic bladder allows itself to be removed from the thermo bag and be used independently which is another positive for cleaning and use. My only immediate concern is the way the fabric holds the hydration bladder with no hook or loop as a secondary support at the top of the bag. I foresee this stretching over time, but I'll post an additional review of it's problematic. My last camelbak lasted 10 years of rigorous use (stolen, but definitely not worn out) and this item is built like an insulated but efficient and lightweight tank in comparison. I suspect it will outlast me.
