SOURCE Product Reviews

The kit came quite quickly with everything included that I needed. The instructions for installation were clear. I haven't used it yet but it looks like it will work well for the function it is intended for. I will try using it in summer as well. I'm not sure if it will heat up the water because of the black tube or if the insulation will offset that.

Better than expected, used first time in a 7km night run, the reservoir was enough for all the run and very practical. The reflective handles are the best.

Scientifically desighed, materials of high quality, does not shift side to side but remains stable and centered on your back!

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!

Order was easy to place, delivery was quick and efficient

I started a homemade version after hearing a comment that it would be great if there was a hybrid between a hydration bladder and a bottle. I got it sort of right but with a few issues. SOURCE have solved all these issues and more with the CONVERTUBE. Great simple product, very well made. Should have looked on the net sooner. Will buy from SOURCE again, Great range.

Good surprise: this weave gives some more rigidity to the tube, which is a good point as it allows a better passage from the inside of the bag to the shoulder strap of the bag pack.
But the fact that it is not transparent doesn't allow to visualize the absence of bacteria inside the tube...

Excellent produit et service parfait.

I bought a pair of Gobi walking sandles 14 years ago. The retailer from whom I bought the sandals closed but I recalled him saying ‘as long as the green dot remains visible, the shoes are guaranteed’. The upper sole inserts under foot ( the bits your feet stand on) have worn or fallen off over the years but the sandals remain serviceable and look almost as new. The green dot is still there. I contacted Source directly requesting replacement pads about 3 weeks ago and was quite happy to pay for them plus postage etc... They arrived in the post this morning from Israel. No charge whatsoever. Now that’s what I call service. I know where my next pair will be from.

Super produit !

Très pratique !

I bought this for a trip to Africa and can honestly say it is a great piece of kit. The carrier is tough and rugged. The bladder is well constructed and well protected within the carrier. The carrier maintains the water at a nice temperature even though the outside temp is quite warm. The shoulder straps do not look to be suitable for routine rough usage but will suffice for the occasional carry. And the straps stow away nicely. There is no taste imparted by the bladder and water tastes great even after 24 hours in the carrier.
Overall I would thoroughly recommend the product, this is not a long term usage review but don't see any reason why it would not provide good long term service.

The low profile design is a definite improvement over it’s predecessor. I also like the low maintenance glasslike bladder material. The one issue that I have had with both this product and its predecessor is the tenancy for the bladder to crimp during use at each side seam about two thirds of the way down from the top. This eventually develops into a material failure and a leak. To counter this tenancy I have reinforced the side seams with duct tape.

Génial

This new valve was ordered because the old one was destroyed by teeth of my children. Construction of the new one is perfect. It is easy to press also by child on exact place. If silicon cap is damaged you just close it and there is not any leak of water even there is a press on the reservoire in the bag. Perfect construction of this new version. Easy to use, easy to clean. Super.

I already own SOURCE tactical products, so I had a high expectation of this to withstand my work place. The Ivis Blaze has performed above and beyond in the extreme heat of the Sky Harbor Airport tarmac. Ice stays cold with a ramp temp of 140F for hours. The ice in the bag doesn't melt for an exceptional length of time! The amount of water in the bladder means its able to keep up with my intake over an 8 hour shift with no need to refill and the backpack has shown no signs of wear. A little dirt maybe, but rock solid stitching has held together through the abuse of being in and out of loading aircraft.

My only complaint is not having an option between the bite and storm valves as I much prefer the latter. This product is worth every penny, and frankly the customer service makes it even more so.

Great, efficient service :)

Great product, no odor and no taste of plastic. However, if I try to make a cofee with water from the reservoir it is ''mission impossibil''. You have a ''bite'' valve and I think the Storm valve would be more suitable for taking out the water for various tasks. Anyway, thank you for the product.

Very satisfied with the quality of the products in terms of how good they are for carrying water, they do great, they don’t leave a plasticy taste like other plastic water bottles do, only minor issue I have with them is that the lid can be a bit noisy to drink from when it sucks back in the air after taking a sip, but that isn’t a problem for most applications and the lid can be removed to drink from them too.

All in all a high quality bottle!
Will buy more in the future

there is no plastic flavour. Pack is comfortable. great day pack.
