SOURCE Product Reviews

Had an original pair for many years. The version is even better

The iVis Blaze has great visibility day or night. Even filled to capacity (3l) it is comfortable to wear. The storage pouch has more than enough capacity for small tools, a headlamp, snacks or whatever. The shoulder strap encasement keeps the hydration tube and mouthpiece clean and out of the way. I find just two shortcomings. The first concerns the bite valve. It has to be twisted open to unlock which necessitates using two hands to get a drink. Source offers a “tooth-pull” valve for their military hydration packs that I highly recommend because it allows getting a drink using only one hand. The other shortcoming concerns is that the pack doesn’t have strap keepers for the chest strap, which leaves it dangling out.

Recieved quickly and the product worked a treat as expected! Was perfect for icy trekking conditons.

Excellent produit conforme à mes attentes.Trés pratique et peu encombrant dans le sac à dos.
Je recommande vivement................;

Système simple et efficace pour rendre étanche la poche à eau, couleur orange permettant de bien voir dans le sac à dos

Excellent

I bought my first Source Hydration pack approx 4 years ago. Used it on many hikes and especially motorbike rides ranging in length from 1 days to 6 months(several of 2-3 months) always had good use from the product until last year. Towards the end of our 6 months m/c trip thru Europe problems developed. The tube with the valve started to block up and after stripping the whole thing down found the problem was a light brown film blocking the tube and valve, I have no idea where this came from , because I am very fastidious about the quality of the water going in. I suspect it MAY be part of the antibacterial treatment of the plastic the bags are made from. Anyway I have replaced the bag with a new one (functioning well) and will see how long this one will last. I suppose 4 years of frequent use is not bad!

I already bought my 2nd pair of Gobi Women Sandals. After many years of trekking in desert and mountains I needed new ones. I use them primarily for hikes in dune landscapes and over hamadas of Sahara.

I have had problems mostly with freezing bite valve, but with storm valve the valve doesn't freeze anymore. The tube is lightly insulated and probably would freeze, but I don't have this problem, as I always blow the tube empty after drinking.

Djibouti sandales : Super ! Résistantes, confortables (utilisation journalière intérieur extérieur depuis 2ans 1/2) tout comme la "Classique" pour la rando.

These bad boys are indestructible! Comfy as all hell too due to how thick they are

Sac de bonne qualité, semble robuste et look sympa, mais manque un peu de rangement pour le vtt (outils, chambres). Ne bouge pas une fois ajusté.
Bon produit dans l'ensemble.

The tube failed miserably in -9'C. After 30min whole content of the tube was frozen. Prior to that, the mouth piece became unusable - this is the first piece that got froze. When trying to open it, the whole mouth piece spins around and does not comply. If enough force is applied, the black, big piece pops out and water flows constantly + all your clothes get wet.

I'm using the summer kit for several years now and i'm very happy with it. The winter one - i'll be frank, i'm not sure anyone ever tested it...

I Love this bag! In the past and for years I've always had another brand of bag for hiking/biking/motorcycling. So I was careful when selecting a new brand. The hydration bag/nozzle stays fresh/clean and is such a breeze. The ease of the zippers/clasps and placement of pockets is very convenient also snug when ascending/descending. Its a comfortable, convenient, sturdy bag. I am glad I have switched. Thank you SOURCE for thinking of us, outdoors !!! Ti R

This will be my second pair of source sandals.Its all I wear really out of work. We can do this in Australia.
Comfy, durable.
Good onya

Everything about this bladder is the best. The slot for the support strap is big enough and rugged enough not to break. The cover over the mouthpiece has a great retaining string. The mouthpiece is easy to use and has a built in valve on it. The hose and hose connection are rugged and work great. The bladder is easy to clean... Perfect!

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!
