HydraPak Velocity IT Hydration Reservoir (1.5L or 2L)

I love this water bladder. It's so nice to go out on a run and not have the water I'm drinking be the same temperature as the very hot air! The water in the tube still gets a tad warm but once you consume that, the rest is very cold. I took it out for a 3 hour run Sunday and was very happy.

I've had many variations of the HydraPak in every size, spanning back five years or so. This version is the best yet, with one minor complaint. First, my older HydraPaks all leak from the bottom for some reason--not much, but enough that the bottom of my pack gets damp within an hour. This one hasn't leaked (been using it a month). The nozzle is better, in that instead of twisting there's a lever you flip. You can do it one-handed (with practice). There's also a magnet that you can attach to your pack, which keeps the mouthpiece in a convenient place. The magnet isn't that strong, but it's thoughtful. Also, they got rid of the stupid plastic strip stuck smack in the middle of the reservoir on the inside. It was designed to help it stand up better, but it didn't, and it made it impossible to flip the reservoir inside-out for cleaning. (I used to carefully cut it out with scissors.) The only negative on this version is the thick strap on the outside. It's nice to have that for carrying or refilling, but again, it makes it VERY hard to flip the 3L inside-out. I guess I could cut that part off too, but if the strap were more flexible this wouldn't be an issue. Still, this is the best reservoir out there, and this issue is really minor compared to the benefits, especially how easy it is to keep clean.

I got this as a replacement for a 1.5L camelbak bladder and this beats it by a lot. The slide opening at the top is very convenient and much better for cleaning. The hose is insulated like the bladder, both feel very durable. The bite valve is a little hard but I easily got used to it. This should last me a good long time hiking and mountain biking.

Broke after a few uses , not worth 50$. Very disappointed.

Keeps water pretty cool. I used this for marathon training and then the marathon. I would fill up the night before and then throw it in the fridge overnight. Water wasn’t ice cold the whole time but it was nice and cool. The first couple sips might be warm from the tube but after that it was really refreshing. I think if you add some ice it would keep the water really cold. Easy to clean. No issues with leaks. Glad I bought it.

I purchased this bladder to upgrade my basic one from a cheap running vest I purchased. The insulation does an excellent job keeping the water colder longer than my old clear, non-insulated one. The hose attaches securely to the bladder and should not come loose without engaging the locking mechanism, a big plus for anyone whose had a hose come loose mid activity. The mouth piece is sturdy and has a better anti leak feature. The only improvement I would like to see is a cap to go over the mouthpiece so it stays clean when not being used. The price is a little high but fair for the quality of the item. If these 2 things were improved it would defiantly be a 5 star product for me.

It’s like a koozie for your hydration pack. This was a game changer purchase. I have the 1.5L and the 2L. Perfect for keeping water cold for hours with less ice.

This seems much sturdier. Every Camelbak I've had inevitably starts to leak where the hose comes in. I haven't had this very long, but the construction on this seems less prone to issues. The foldy filling method is something I had to get used to, but it works to keep water in.

Efficient and Reliable Hydration Reservoir – Worth Every Penny I’ve used the 1.5L HydraPak Velocity IT just once so far, and plan to use for a 50 mile run across Snowdon, but it already impressed me. It kept my water cooler for longer than expected and operated without any fuss, very efficient. The sealing system on both the reservoir and the tube is excellent, preventing any leaks between sips. Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase and consider it well worth the investment.

Have used this on some hot running days and keeps the water cool. Take note not to chew on the mouth piece too much, just a slight bite and the water flows fine.

登山にも使う予定だったが真夏のツーリングにも使えるのではないかと思って購入した。 コンビニなどで2kgの氷を買って水をそそいで走っていたが夜になってもぬるくはならずちゃんと冷たかった
