I bought this bag b/c of its generous size - I drink a lot of water on the trail, and with this one, I don't have to carry a separate bottle on day hikes. The best thing about this bag, though, is the closure. My Camelbak leaks every time I use it - sometimes a little, sometimes a lot. My Deuter has never leaked -- not even a drop. And the wide mouth makes it super easy to clean w/o using chemicals.

The only "down" I have to say is that sometimes the bite valve twists a little so that the water drains back into the bag, leaving me sucking harder on the tube than I want. But there's a tell-tale hiss when it does it, and I just twist it back the other way to fix the problem.
