The only strong point of this bladder is the top opening. The cap consists of two parts, one of which only complicates sealing it tightly. Still, the bladder leaks because there is no gasket on the cap. Filling through the opening is cumbersome, as the bladder is stiff and the sides stick together – you have to pull them apart with your fingers. The mouthpiece cannot be closed or secured without touching it with your hands, and other models with a separate valve and clamp perform better. The tube is detachable and has a valve to prevent water from spilling when removed, but it can disconnect by itself, which means the remaining water may leak into the backpack.

Source WXP 3 l Hydration Bladder - Olive
Durable and lightweight hydration bladder with a capacity of 3 liters, made of strong embossed PU film free from phthalates and BPA. Thanks to Grunge-Guard and Taste-Free technologies, the water retains a clean taste and the interior remains protected against bacterial growth. Its slim shape and rounded edges make it easy to store in a backpack or bag, and when folded, it takes up very little space. Compatibility with Source systems and universal design make it suitable for most hydration backpacks.
Durable construction, Glass-like coating, Grunge-Guard and Taste-Free technologies, 94 cm hose
The bladder is made of embossed polyurethane film, resistant to wear, compression, and long-term use. Its low-profile construction ensures even fluid distribution and eliminates bulging. The Glass-like inner coating effectively prevents the growth of algae and mold.
The use of Grunge-Guard and Taste-Free technologies ensures long-lasting water freshness and minimizes the need for cleaning—simply rinse after use.
The 94 cm hose is covered with a fabric sleeve that protects the contents from UV radiation, heating, or freezing. Its optimal diameter ensures strong flow for quick hydration. The quick-connect with automatic valve allows safe disconnection of the hose without leakage.
Wide opening, Widepac system, Push-Pull Storm valve with Dirt-Shield cover
The wide opening makes filling, emptying, and drying the bladder easy. The cap is equipped with a sealing gasket and designed for one-handed operation, while the tether prevents loss. The Widepac zipper guarantees full sealing and protects against accidental leaks.
The Push-Pull Storm valve rotates 360°, allowing precise positioning of the mouthpiece, while the Dirt-Shield cover prevents contamination, ensuring hygiene even in tough outdoor conditions.

It leaks, is uncomfortable to use, and the mouthpiece keeps coming off – I’ve already lost it twice while hiking in the mountains (and I’ve only used it twice). A new mouthpiece costs as much as 50 PLN, so I recommend finding something more durable and solid.

The hydration bladder is of higher quality than Camelbaks, has an insulated tube that can be detached from both ends. The top opening allows easy access to the inside like a plastic bag, and the material used is much more durable. Additionally, you can fill the bladder without taking it out of the backpack, which is a huge convenience.
