The opening decides whether it dries; the liters only decide weight · review
A 3 liter reservoir that ships with two drinking hoses and a cleaning brush — three items other listings sell separately — while naming neither the opening, nor the film, nor the valve.
Three liters, a robust and BPA-free material, a leak-proof design, a large opening for filling, a cleaning brush, an ergonomic soft mouthpiece, a summer hose and a winter hose, and a hanging arrangement for packs and vests. The maker also states its system was tested in the Austrian Alps, which is the maker’s statement about its own product and not a figure.
Two hoses and a brush. On this shelf an insulated tube is normally an accessory and a brush set is normally an afterthought. Having both included is worth more than several of the specifications that are missing, because they are things you would otherwise buy twice.
The opening. Called large, never described. This is the specification this family is judged on, because a reservoir that cannot be turned back and dried is a reservoir that gets replaced.
The film, the valve, the coupling, the seams, the weight. None of them named. The leak-proof claim rests on the seams and the joints, and neither is described.
Ask what shape the opening is, and ask how the two hoses differ. Both answers are short, and neither is on the page.
The American Amazon store returned nothing, so the buy link opens a local search rather than a page that is not there.

Usually an insulated tube, or one that can be blown clear and cleared of standing water. The maker states one of each is included and does not describe how they differ, so it is worth asking before ordering if freezing is the reason you are buying.
It helps. A brush set is bought separately by most people within a month of owning a reservoir, and having it in the box means the cleaning routine starts on day one instead of after the first bad taste.
No. Not published on the listing — a large opening is claimed, without saying whether it is a slide, a screw or a clip. What the listing does publish instead is the stated cleaning method: A cleaning brush is supplied — stated; the maker states the reservoir is easy to clean and dries quickly.
7.8/ 10
Generous in the box and thin on the page. The two hoses and the brush are real value; the opening, the film and the valve are all left unnamed.
Someone who wants the brush and the winter hose in the same box and will find out about the opening on arrival.
Amazon reports what buyers took in the month before this page was last checked: at least 50.
The figure is a floor, rounded by Amazon, and read through Keepa — it says what buyers picked, not what a maker claims.
Specifications: the manufacturer sheet for camping and hiking gear and the matching Amazon product page. Prices and availability: Keepa. Every figure on this page names its source.
2 L reservoir · large opening, type not named · hose supplied · almost nothing else published
A 2 liter reservoir sold with a hose, whose listing publishes the capacity and then almost nothing else — no opening type, no film, no valve, no fittings and no weight.
Best for: A replacement reservoir where the pack sleeve is the only constraint and the details are worked out on arrival.
Two 2 L reservoirs, 70 oz each · 4 in screw cap, the widest port stated here · bite valve with on/off · quick-release with auto-lock · a neck gaiter supplied · no bore, no film named
Two complete reservoirs for sixteen dollars, with the widest fill port stated on this shelf at four inches — on a page whose wording appears under two other brands in this same group.
Best for: Two people, or a spare kept filled in a fridge, where price per reservoir is the whole decision
≈ $16
2 L / 70 oz · leak-resistant cap · ergonomic fill handle · one-handed on/off lever on the tube · self-sealing bite valve · high flow, unquantified · no bore, no film named, no weight
The same two shut-offs and the same cap as the three-liter Crux, with an ergonomic fill handle the larger one does not list — and the flow claim left without the number the 3 L gives it.
Best for: A day walk or a ride where two liters is enough and the reservoir has to be lifted and filled one-handed
≈ $30
