"I am a fan. Works very simply and is quite stable and durable. I had heard all of the bad things about other Nalgene hydration packs, but never these TPE models. They are made out of a sleeve of material which means that seams are only created on the top and bottom, not the sides as well, eliminating at least 50% of the surface area that is most likely to fail."

"There is something truly wonderful about the TPE material in this reservoir - we have had many hydration products, but nothing comes close to this - somehow it moves and flexes with you in a completely organic way. There is no taste or odor with any beverage, even when warm, and even though it is soft, perfectly quiet and flexible, you can't seem to hurt it!! What IS this stuff?? Whatever it is, it's perfect for this product."
