Rating: rated 4.5 of 5 stars
Price Paid: $27

This is simply a great dromedary bag -- I used it as my primary water storage for the trail when hitting the backcountry in Zion recently, and it was just a simple bag to use.

Your water stays cold -- which is nice when it's 107 degrees F outside (I presume it would remain hot as well, but never opted to try that in the heat I was facing!). Your water stays put -- the locking mechanism is secure and easy to use. Your water tastes good -- no plastic aftertaste at all! In short, it's all you'd want it to be.

I had to ding it 1/2 star due to the bite valve coming off. More accurately, it would come off when I did something to pull it out accidentally (such as pulling on my pack and not realizing it was twisted under a belt or whatever).

The design is a good one: you can replace the bite valve as needed. However, I would prefer to see a little bit tighter seal so as to not have it pull out quite so easily as it does. That said, if you are a bit more observant and less clutzy than I, you may find this to be a non-issue. :)

That said, if you need a very solid dromedary bag, this is the one to buy. Highly recommended!

This thing rocks! It keeps liquids cool for hours, but also keeps it from freezing in the dead of winter. Sat in my pack (with insulated tube wrap) all night with temps in the teens and never froze. The lash points are great for attaching to the outside of a pack, though most packs worth their salt have internal sleeves these days.

My son uses this for hydration on hot days of baseball: he just buckles it to the dugout fence and it stays up off the spit and seed-ladened floor. The 100 oz. are great for my all-day trail rides around Vail Lake, and the durability saved my spine when I endo'd over the handlebars, landing on my back (Unbottle in the pack's sleeve made for a fortunate cushion.

Easy to clean. In fact, cleaning when only using water each day is not a frequent chore. Get one!

Best Water System I've used to date. I like the D-ring attachment points and the wide mouth makes for easy filling. I hang it from a tree in camp and it makes pouring fresh water a breeze. A veritable kitchen faucet.
It's easy to clean too.

CamelBaks are the only way to go for hydration on the trail.  I really like the UnBottle and the extra flexibility it provides since it can go inside or outside my pack while offering insulation for the contents.

Upgrade your favorite backpack by attaching Camelbak Unbottle Hydration Pack on the inside or outside of the main compartment and always have some agua on hand. A newly upgraded Quick-snap cap opens and seals with just a quarter of a turn. Despite its large volume and multiple attachment points, the Unbottle has a low-profile design that won't suddenly make your bag feel unwieldy. Camelbak solved the potentially messy matter of filling the bladder by using an Air-Light fillport.
