    Taste is terrible

    By Innominata

    from Santa Cruz

    About Me Casual/ Recreational

    Pros

    • Didn't leak
    • Good Water Flow
    • Large Capacity

    Cons

    • TERRIBLE TASTE

    Best Uses

    Comments about CamelBak OMEGA Reservoir - 100 oz.:

    I just returned this because the taste was so bad. I learned to ignore the taste after a while, but my friends practically spit out the water when they tried it.

    The bladder is made out of something that won't (supposedly) grow mold. With mold, at least I can clean it and it will go away, this was permanently foul.

    PS I'm not picky about water, I'll drink tap water .

    Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      Comments about CamelBak OMEGA Reservoir - 100 oz.:

      Great 100 oz camelbak... once you have used a camelbak, you will not go back to a bottle. Most backpacks have a sleeve to accomodate this, if yours doesn't, I recommend you get the Unbottle version of this, because it has it's own pouch.

      DON'T FORGET A CLEANING KIT! WITHOUT IT, THIS IS HARD TO CLEAN.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

        I went on a 8 mile day hike up 3000+ feet and when I came back I still had a little water left in my bladder. No stopping for refills and I did not need a water purifier.

        The bite valve is awesome. It had no leaking issues and was easy to get water flow out of the valve.

        This is one product I will use again and again.

        Getting extra hydration in your bladder

            Comments about CamelBak OMEGA Reservoir - 100 oz.:

            CB's bladders work great. And now with the lifetime guarantee, they can't be beat.

            To get about an extra 11 oz in one, get the thing as full as possible using the regular fillhole. Then lay the bladder on the bottom of the sink (or hold it below the sink to get even more of a pressure difference). Turn the faucet on and place the bite valve directly in the solid stream of water - being careful to avoid sucking in any air. The bladder will fill up like a balloon. If you do get some air in it, suck it out and repeat until the thing's solid as a rock.

            To keep things from growing inside during storage, drain out the hose and shake the bladder out. Let the liquid settle in the hose and drain again. Then loop the hose into the bladder to keep it "open" for drying.

            Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

                I have used mine a lot in the past 2 years and it is holding up very well. I will never go back to bottles. There is no substitute when playing paintball (I use a smaller size), because you can't take your mask off but with this you can still drink water. No funny taste. I wipe it out after I use it but when I forget and leave water in it it takes a long time to get nasty. The brushes do a good job of cleaning the hose out.

                The cap is difficult to twist and if you don't get it tight enough it will leak. It also leaked around the tube exit area and I had to superglue it to stop it. Of course, the usual black mold formation inside, which goes with all of them. I'll probably buy another one because I don't think there's anything better available.

                Comments about CamelBak OMEGA Reservoir - 100 oz.:

                Great addition to any pack which supports a hydration bladder or replacement for a bladder in an existing CamelBak. The closure is a little difficult to open if you've cranked it down, but you get used to it over time. A little tough to clean the tube without special brushes as well.

                However, I've never had a CamelBak bladder leak to date and it's stayed generally clean over time. Definitely recommended.

                Comments about CamelBak OMEGA Reservoir - 100 oz.:

                CamelBack is the tried and true standard in hydration systems.There are several suggestions that I have for improvements. First this item does not come with the hydrolock system or camel clip. So you have to spend another $10 or so.Also it would be nice if the lid had a thread system similiar to Nalgene bottles, and would attach directly to water filters.

                Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

                Comments about CamelBak OMEGA Reservoir - 100 oz.:

                Was using a Nalgene reservoir which started to wear out. The replacement leaked so I switched to this Camelbak. I hate the Camelbak valve - it dribbles, requires extra attention to position before drinking and isn't comfortable to use. I used hydration packs for hiking and biking before, now I use it to stay hydrated while taking care of infant twins. I don't have an extra hand to reposition the valve before drinking. To fix that, I put the bite me valve on and am a happy camper now.

                Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
