Add to Cart Now for Yourself & Your Gift List Review: Great bladder system if cared for - I wanted to test this a bit before reviewing so my wife and I took it on a few hikes and then to Disneyland. I have a backpack that is outfitted for a bladder system but did not come with one. It did great for the hikes. We noticed it was difficult to get water from the mouthpiece at first but it seems the more we used it, the easier it became. On our first day in Disneyland, it sprang a leak. We thought it was where the hose connected to the bladder but something in the backpack pierced the bag. We patched it with some super glue and didn’t have any issues after. The optional cleaning kit is a must. The hanger that comes with the kit is crucial to keeping your bladder lasting. We’ve had others that we thought we had dried completely only to find out on our next use it tasted moldy. Once that taste sets in, it never goes away. To clean, I highly recommend warm (not hot) water and baking soda. Any soap will also leave a taste you can’t get rid of. Wash it after every use or if you know you’ll be using it the following day, keep it filled overnight and simply rinse it out before it’s next use. Make sure it is 100% dry before storing. It usually takes about 48 hours with some adjustments in between. The same goes for the hose. Detach it, rinse and with the mouthpiece in the open position, blow any remaining water out. Use the hose brush by inserting it in the connection end and hang to dry in the open position with the cap off. All in all, this product is great and as long as you take care of it, it’ll work great. Review: All good except the cleaning kit - Loved the product itself. Nice to have the insulation sleeve around the hose. The quick disconnect on the hose is great too. But the cleaning kit is missing a key component that is shown in the images. The blue rack piece that goes inside of the bladder after you wash it to help keep it from collapsing on itself isn’t in there. Instead they sent a hook with a clip to hand it. My opinion- not the same capability. ## Features - Durable Hydration Bladder for Hiking & Outdoor Use – Built with BPA-free, taste-free TPU material, this water reservoir for hiking backpack is rugged, leakproof, and resistant to wear and tear. - 2 Liter & 3 Liter Capacity Options for All Activities – Choose the 2L water bladder for short hikes or running, or the 3L hydration bladder for long-distance adventures and endurance sports. - High-Flow Bite Valve & Quick-Connect Hose – This hydration bladder features a self-sealing bite valve for fast, effortless drinking, plus a quick-connect system for easy detachment and cleaning. - Wide Opening for Easy Cleaning & Fresh Water – The large-mouth opening makes it simple to rinse, refill, and dry thoroughly, keeping your hydration bladder fresh and ready for your next adventure. - Insulated Hose to Maintain Water Temperature – The water reservoir hose insulator keeps your water cool in hot weather and prevents freezing in cold conditions, ideal for hiking, cycling, and trail running. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09DM7VTPL | | Best Sellers Rank | #5,955 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #9 in Outdoor Backpack Reservoirs | | Brand Name | Water Buffalo | | Capacity | 2 Liters | | Color | Light Grey | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (172) | | Item Weight | 0.32 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Water Buffalo | | Material Type | Durable TPU Material | | Sport Type | Cycling | | Strap Type | No Strap | | Tank Volume | 2 Liters | | UPC | 860006199357 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Water Buffalo - **Color:** Light Grey - **Item Weight:** 0.32 Kilograms - **Material:** Durable TPU Material - **Sport:** Cycling ## Images ![Water Buffalo Oasis Hydration Bladder – 2L and 3L Water Bladder for Hiking Backpack, Leakproof Design with Insulated Hose and High-Flow Bite Valve - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71-l4PJWplL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great bladder system if cared for *by N***K on April 21, 2024* I wanted to test this a bit before reviewing so my wife and I took it on a few hikes and then to Disneyland.

Hopefully this one will be equally as good as the original bladder that came with my back pack. ## Frequently Bought Together - Water Buffalo Oasis Hydration Bladder – 3L Water Bladder for Hiking Backpack, Leakproof Design with Insulated Hose & High-Flow Bite Valve - Water Buffalo Hydration Backpack - Lightweight Hydration Pack with 2L Water Bladder - Water Backpack for Hiking, Running, Biking, and Raves - Road Runner 12L Hydropack Backpack --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/435263987-water-buffalo-oasis-hydration-bladder-2l-and-3l-water-bladder](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/435263987-water-buffalo-oasis-hydration-bladder-2l-and-3l-water-bladder) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-05-28*
