If the 2.5 liter capacity is not enough, there is also an Osprey 3l bladder available. The rigid construction makes cleaning Osprey bladder easy too and you can dry it out with the wide mouth piece too. It takes some time at first to work out the proper position to close the pack, but once that is established you are leak-free. Make sure to close the hydration pack properly or it will start to leak. Plus, the huge size of the mouthpiece makes it practical to refill in a rush. Just the volume I need when out on treks. I really like the Osprey pack and its large 2-liter pack. It has a great hydration reservoir and is easy to work with, roomy, and simple to refill.Īlso the mouthpiece magnet is a perfect invention to simplify the process of using this pack. The Osprey Packs Hydraulics LT pack is one of the best hydration systems I have at home ready to use. So overall the Osprey Packs Hydraulics LT Reservoir certainly worked well and I have no real complaints. This fitted this reservoir into the hydration sleeve on my Osprey Ariel 65L bag perfectly and even after several long hikes over difficult terrain I did not notice any leaks. To make things easier when refilling with water, it is even possible to remove the bladder from its bag and return without an issue. The pack has markers to clearly indicate the volume of water left. I found the wide-mouth system to be very straightforward to fill, even in a rush or using trail water pumps. Plus, it comes with a magnetic sternum which is perfect for holding the hose in place. The bladder construction seems durable compared to some alternatives I have used. I recently put this Osprey hydraulic reservoir through its paces.įirst impressions were good.

Unable to reach all the water (the tub is slightly above the bladders bottom).
