Mainly purchased this item to consolidate my water supply from multiple bottles to one bag. Well, I'm pleased with the construction, and pleased with the volume (almost 10.5 32oz Nalgene bottles' worth of water), and pleased with the versatility.

The attachment options are plentiful and accessories are available to allow drinking on the go, and showering with this bag. Another extreme plus is when this bag is not completely full, or if it is empty it can be rolled, folded, squashed into your pack or a deep jacket pocket.

There are two concerns I have. One, the food grade laminate on the inside tastes funny, but if you add electrolyte tablets or tang to your water you won't notice.

Two, 10L of water weighs a lot! A liter of water weighs 2.2 lbs, you do the math, so I haven't even thought about hiking with it full yet. All in all, this is a great product which will be in my pack for another season.
