What to write?
Here are some things to consider when reviewing water containers:
Capacity: Does it hold enough water for your backcountry activities? Enough for how long?
Ease of Use: How easy is it to access? Do parts and features work as expected? Consistently?
Features: Any noteworthy features, designs, or technology? Do they live up to expectations?
Construction & Durability: Is it well made? How has it held up over time?
Conditions: Where, when, and how long have you used this gear?
