How to use

Fill the bladder through the wide opening with water or an appropriate hydration solution, taking care to avoid overfilling beyond the indicated capacity.

Route the drinking tube through the pack’s hose port and secure the tube in place with provided clips or retention points. To drink, bite the valve and draw fluid; after use, flush the bladder with clean water and allow it to dry thoroughly before storage to prevent odour or bacterial growth.

Recommendations

Use potable water or manufacturer-recommended drinks only. Clean after each use and store dry and away from direct sunlight. Inspect the tube and valve for wear and replace components if leakage or damage is observed. For cold conditions consider insulating the tube to prevent freezing; in high-temperature environments, monitor fluid temperature and replace water regularly to maintain safety.
