Best backpack water reservoir

‘ve used some version of this CamelBak reservoir on backcountry hiking trips for years, in places like Chilean Patagonia, Nepal, Iceland, and Death Valley. I’ve never had one spring a leak, and the product makes staying hydrated easy; the 3.0-liter version is a perfect amount for a full day’s hike for me without being too heavy. I love the valve that prevents mouthpiece leaks, because it has stopped my backpack from getting soaked multiple times when packed into a bus cargo hold or car trunk. I also like the easy-close cap and large opening that makes inside cleaning easy. A caveat: the optional flow meter is a waste of money; it never seems to work accurately enough. WB
