The only strong point of this hydration bladder is the top opening. The cap consists of two parts, one of which only makes it harder to close it tightly. Even so, the bladder leaks because there's no gasket at the cap. Filling through the opening is a hassle, because the bladder is stiff and the walls stick together—you have to stretch them apart with your fingers. You can't close or secure the mouthpiece without touching it directly, while other models with a separate valve and clamp are better. The hose is detachable and has a valve to prevent water from spilling when you disconnect it, but it can disconnect itself, causing the remaining water to leak into your backpack.

Source WXP 3 l Hydration Bladder - Olive
A durable and lightweight hydration bladder boasting a capacity of 3 liters. Crafted from robust embossed PU film, it is free of phthalates and BPA. With Grunge-Guard and Taste-Free technologies, the water maintains a pure taste and the interior is shielded against bacterial growth. The slim shape and rounded edges facilitate easy storage in a backpack or bag, and when collapsed, it occupies minimal space. Its compatibility with Source systems and universal design make it ideal for most hydration backpacks.
Durable construction, Glass-like coating, Grunge-Guard and Taste-Free technologies, 94 cm hose
The bladder is crafted from embossed polyurethane film, offering resistance to wear, compression, and prolonged use. Its low-profile design guarantees uniform fluid distribution and prevents bulging. The Glass-like interior coating effectively inhibits the growth of algae and mold.
Employing Grunge-Guard and Taste-Free technologies, the bladder ensures a prolonged freshness of water and greatly reduces the need for cleaning—just a rinse after use suffices.
The 94 cm hose is encased in a fabric sleeve that protects against UV radiation, heating, or freezing. Its ideal diameter ensures a robust flow for rapid hydration. The quick-connect with automatic valve allows for the safe disconnection of the hose without any leakage.
Wide opening, Widepac system, Push-Pull Storm valve with Dirt-Shield cover
The wide opening allows for straightforward filling, emptying, and drying of the bladder. The cap features a sealing gasket and is crafted for one-handed use, with a tether to prevent loss. The Widepac zipper ensures a complete seal and safeguards against unintended leaks.
The Push-Pull Storm valve can rotate 360°, permitting precise alignment of the mouthpiece, while the Dirt-Shield cover prevents contamination, maintaining hygiene even in challenging outdoor settings.

It leaks, it's uncomfortable to use, and the mouthpiece keeps coming off – I've already lost it twice during mountain trips (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. It has an insulated hose that can be disconnected from both ends. The top opening lets you easily access 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.
