favorite hydration Blatter I've used
Its a great system, easy to fill, tasteless - perhaps the only criticism I'd have is the small black cap for the end is attached by flimsy thread and will come untied or break relatively quickly. Replaced mine with fishing wire. Will buy more hydration blatters to replace my camelbaks.

Repeat buyer!
I read many amazing reviews before making my initial purchase and was not at all disappointed. After enjoying the easy-to-use and durable 3.0L Widepac, I had to purchase another one for my wife.
Features I love about the 3.0L Widepac...
- Capacity - I do a lot of hiking/backpacking. Water sources are not always readily available. It's nice to have a higher capacity for those types of areas.
- Easy-of-use - The bite valve, the quick connect, the bladder sealing... all make using the hydration system very simple. Even someone with no prior knowledge could effectively put this system to use with no instruction. It also fits easily into all four of my backpacks.
- Durability - I'm beginning to wonder why I ever purchased spare parts. I go on every trip with full confidence in my Source hydration system. No leaks... ever. No kinks... ever.

This is the greatest hydation pack of all time
Seriously. This is it. it is the best. I do a lot of camping, rock climbing, mountain biking and adventure racing (24-hour endurance events). I've tried a number of bladders and nothing competes with this. The single best thing about the Source Hydration bladder is that the water never takes on a bad taste from the plastic. Second best thing, they don't have that annoying screw plastic opening thing that a lot of companies use, which just adds weight and takes up space in my pack. Third, the fitting where the hose connects to the bladder is fantastic and works really well for quick disconnect and connect. This lets you leave the hose connected to your pack if you stop to refill it at a stream or something. What you're left with is a light, durable bladder that can be used easily and quickly and doesn't taste like a petrochemical facility. 5/5.

A great hydration bladder
This 3 litre bladder is easy to fill,the water tastes fresh with no tainting.It is easy to clean and is well constructed and tough.It fits in my Octane 16x hydration backpack well and sits nicely when I'm trail running with enough capacity for a 4 hour run. My only problem was the bladder sliding sideways out of the top bar and water sloshing down inside my bag. I had to put a Bungy loop through the top eye and around the top side of the bladder to stop this. Suggest good additions to come with the bag would be a spring loaded clip to attach the bladder to a top bag loop.Also some sort of former to keep the bag open while drying.

Widepac hydration pack
I recently replaced my old (non Source) hydration pack with a new Source Widepac hydration pack. From its first use it’s been brilliant. Easy to fill especially with the unique removable tube facility. The robust bite valve stops any accidental leakage and the wide opening top makes for easy cleaning. Love it!

Indispensable
I bought this Widepack as a replacement for a previous Source water pouch which had served me well for more then 6 years... thru extensive use, the mouth piece sprung a leak.
I was happy to be able to select a pouch smaller then the previous one and this pouch is definitely an improvement with the clip on features and "twist to open" mouth piece.
First use impression is great. Only time will confirm.

No competition
I have a Source Widepac in three bags. Sac is of impecable quality keeping water fresh tasting even after prolonged storage (>2 wks). Hose is sturdy and reliable in hot or cold climates. No sign of guck or mold buildup in mouth piece. No leaks or breaks after impact. Clean up is a sinch. Long story short: dope AF; my go to brand.

Super compatible and easy to use!
Once you use a Source hydration system you will never use anything else. I have a 1.5 L Widepac which I use in a Vaikobi PFD while paddling SUP and outrigger canoes - particularly in the cold winter months and on intense downwinders. Source hydration delivers the cleanest tasting water, period. I could not be happier with this product.

Agua y sólo agua !!!!
Para mí las mejores bolsas para transportar agua en la mochila,ya que no tienen sabor (casi nada) a plástico y el agua sabe a eso....AGUA.
El envío se demora un poco,y el seguimiento de éste es un poco,confuso,pero finalmente en 10/15 días llega.Ya he pedido 2-3 bolsas,y las sandalias también están muy bien.
. Merece la pena,totalmente RECOMENDABLE

First the cons: first time i got the 2 litter Widepac, the first thing i noticed was the difficulty in detaching the hose from the bladder. i did follow the instructions but it still didn't work. i figured out after like 15 minutes that you would hear a "click" that tells the male connector has disengaged. I guess that little information should be included on the instructions.
I was able to use the Widepac bladder in 5 major hikes, 4 backpacking trips and lately, beach camping. After taking off the hose to refill the bladder, i observed a slow leak coming from the female side of the bladder from some of the leftover water inside, but i still refilled it with water and re attached the hose with no leaking after the hose attachment. (i guess the male connector sealed it again).
Now the pros: the bladder itself is bomb proof! no amount of pressure from a loaded backpack would make the bladder weak and leak.
The big opening is easy to refill and re seal and clean.
And last, no funky taste from the bladder after refilling it multiple times on multi day hikes.
Overall, i would still buy a source hydration bladder and I'm thinking of getting the WXP model so i could use my water filter directly on the bladder if needed.

It is the best I used so far. I go through water bladders pretty quickly and this one lasted 84 days of constant use.
I work in the Western Australian desert most of the time, doing 12 hour shifts at gas plants or mines for 14 days straight, give or take. On other bladders the bite valve has been the first to go, or the seal around screw top. On the Source it sprung a leak around the plastic seal at the bottom of the bag, looks like a V the encircles the exit for the water to go into the tube.
84 days is pretty good considering the arid environment, constant use (too tired to empty it once clocked off so it stays full for the 14 days and nights) and it gets treated a little intensely on site.
The bag gets packed with equipment and supplies, it gets chucked in the back of cars, crib huts etc. Also crushed in confined spaces when I am squeezing through with it on me.
Will buy another as the water tasted nicer at all times.

Served we well on a trek to Annapurna Base Camp in Himalayas. Easy to fill and to add Chlorine tablet. No leaks and the valve cover was absolutely essential and invaluable. Other people's bladder hoses did not have covers and so easy to drop into Yak poo etc at rest spots when you are tired!!

Well, I have tried camelbak, and platypus, and now Source, and can honestly say Source are the best by far! (and for me the longest lasting). The features tick all the boxes: easy to clean, fill, and hangs securely and stable in my pack.
I have had my Source for 3 years now and it really is just like new. 5stars to Source for outstripping the competition and producing a truely useable product at a very reasonable price.

I have nothing but good things to say about this hydration bladder. The wide mouth up top makes putting ice in the bag super easy. Because there are no screw threads there are less crevices for grim buildup and sugar deposits if you use those kinds of drinks. It also feels like a quality thickness. I never feel like I need to baby in fear of puncture.

Hi,
Ive used the source widepak with my salomon, I have to say it was a great innovation for the drinking tube to be removable without leaks.
However the joining area of the mechanism and the tube came loose just after 1 month of use. The fitting because unusable and I could not fit the mechanism back into the housing. Perhaps a change in design to make the detaching mechanism a permanent part of the bladder would be good for the next version.

Got this for my Queen Scout Expedition. Used over 4 days and 87 kilometres and didn't let me down once. Held water well, the connector is very reliable and the bite valve is very handy. Totally didn't leak and fitted well in the side pocked of my 85ltr rucksack. Great value for money!

Just came back from a month long tour of Alaska, with two bladders - one was Source. Pretty soon we just stopped filling the other one, because it got stains and a funky smell from the week long use and purifying solutions.
The Source one had no such problems!
Never leaked - even under a full, oversized backpack.
Downsides- Closing the bladder's top can get tricky if you really want fill it up all the way, and it isn't comfertable to hold outside the backpack (but not having a handle saves space... so...)
All in all - the best bladder i've used. No leaks, No smells, the tube comes out, and it can stand a LOT of pressure.
Way to go!

Richard is now out around lake Toba. he's meeting the locals and enjoying the scenery.
When he finally sits down to explain what he likes so much about the Source Widepac, the Volcano erupts behind him!
