Condor Tactical Torrent Reservoir Hydration Bladder (Generation II) (3 Liter)

Condor Tactical Torrent Reservoir Hydration Bladder (Generation II)Great, affordable hydration system. Will hold plenty of water. Bladder material is thick and seems sturdy. Has a unique slide closure system and it does work; no leaks from my last hike (and it was being mashed between my back and the rest of the contents in my pack).The hose has a thick protective cover that is secured to both ends; and the hose itself can be detached without water leaking from the bladder (any residual water inside the hose will leak though). The bite-tube (bite piece? the piece you drink from!) seems well made and easy to use; no leaks from there either. The protective cap comes in handy too; I'm used to my other system attracting dirt on the mouthpiece (has no cap) whenever I'm out 'in the boonies'.The entire top of the bladder opens up, which means easy access to pour water in/out and easy cleaning. However, there isn't anything on the bladder to hold onto when filling with water, so it's awkward to fill by yourself. You'll need a friend to help, or prop the bladder up against something, or even better, have the bladder in your backpack for support (though pressure from the backpack makes this awkward too). Regardless, not a huge deal but something to be aware of since many other hydration systems have some type of handle; this one doesn't but is still a great product.Very pleased with this system and would definitely recommend.

A première vu,ce sac d'hydratation semble de qualité.Connaisssant les produits condor nulle doute qu'il remplira sa tâche convenablement.Je dit semble de qualité parce que je ne l'ai pas tester encore sur le terrain et le pourquoi du 4 étoiles aussi.Je reviendrai remettre une conclusion après les tests.

*** Not Field Tested Yet ***I purchased this item for my bug out bag to store in the hydration bladder pocket on my Condor 3 Day Assault Pack. Item arrived quickly and on time, fits perfectly inside the pocket and was clearly designed for this pack. Plastic pieces look durable and can easily be dissembled for cleaning. 4 out of 5 stars only because I have not yet field tested this item yet. Looks to be of good quality.

Nice reservoir. Fits in condor "camelback" that i attached tocondor recon chestrig with 6 magazine pouches. All os good. Clean design and fits perfect. But i don't like top slide design. When full, you have to carefuly fold the top and attach slider. Or u might cant it a bit sideways. When u r in a hurry, to quickly refiel and go, this might be a problem. U have to detach the reservoir from that slide and then refil. There was nothing wrong with "classic" design. I could as easy clean it and keep it in shape. I think they will return to classic twist cap in gen3.

Have bought three of these for various rigs. Buying another one for my light vehicle pack (get home Bag). Tough as nails!
