CondorCondor Elite - Torrent Reservoir GEN II

Holds plenty of water and is a top lock filling bag. Did the job for a day hiking in the Welsh valleys/hills. Overall its good value for money. Not overly engineered but also not cheap enough that it feels like it's not going to last. It's a good inbetween bladder that does not break the bank.

A première vu,ce sac d'hydratation semble de qualité.Connaisssant les produits condor nulle doute qu'il remplira sa tâche convenablement.Je dit semble de qualité parce que je ne l'ai pas tester encore sur le terrain et le pourquoi du 4 étoiles aussi.Je reviendrai remettre une conclusion après les tests.

Condor Tactical Torrent Reservoir Hydration Bladder (Generation II) Great, affordable hydration system. Will hold plenty of water. Bladder material is thick and seems sturdy. Has a unique slide closure system and it does work; no leaks from my last hike (and it was being mashed between my back and the rest of the contents in my pack). The hose has a thick protective cover that is secured to both ends; and the hose itself can be detached without water leaking from the bladder (any residual water inside the hose will leak though). The bite-tube (bite piece? the piece you drink from!) seems well made and easy to use; no leaks from there either. The protective cap comes in handy too; I'm used to my other system attracting dirt on the mouthpiece (has no cap) whenever I'm out 'in the boonies'. The entire top of the bladder opens up, which means easy access to pour water in/out and easy cleaning. However, there isn't anything on the bladder to hold onto when filling with water, so it's awkward to fill by yourself. You'll need a friend to help, or prop the bladder up against something, or even better, have the bladder in your backpack for support (though pressure from the backpack makes this awkward too). Regardless, not a huge deal but something to be aware of since many other hydration systems have some type of handle; this one doesn't but is still a great product. Very pleased with this system and would definitely recommend.

*** Not Field Tested Yet *** I purchased this item for my bug out bag to store in the hydration bladder pocket on my Condor 3 Day Assault Pack. Item arrived quickly and on time, fits perfectly inside the pocket and was clearly designed for this pack. Plastic pieces look durable and can easily be dissembled for cleaning. 4 out of 5 stars only because I have not yet field tested this item yet. Looks to be of good quality.

wonderful bladder. Tough. Holds 3 liters. Bite valve does not leak even if you forget to close it. This method of opening and closing I think makes the easiest to clean, as well as no giant hard plastic part poking you in the back if you use it with a riding vest or a backpack that doesnt have significant amount of padding between your back and the bladder. The ones with the giant round twist cap lid are cumbersome and difficult to deal with in my opinion.
