Clearance Contour Hydration Reservoir 2L Hydration Bladders

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

This lightweight and low-profile water bladder has a feature set that puts it above its competitors in this field.

Hydrapak says: 

Superior fit and performance in the widest variety of packs for backpacking, hiking & mountain biking adventure

Our Verdict

The main feature of this water bladder is its use of internal “baffles”, which stop water from sloshing about in the bladder; this helps reduce sway in your backpack, whether you are hiking, running or biking. The Contour has a durable handle which aids in carrying and filling the bladder, especially if you are collecting water on the trail. If you plan to use this bladder as a “dirty” water container, the bladder is “Plug-n-play” compatible, so you can attach the HydraPaks 28mm Inline filter seamlessly, which eliminates the need to process water; you can drink on the go or use this set up as a gravity filtration device.

If you are filling from streams and water sources, the wide mouth opening lets you quickly fill the bladder. But it also allows you to turn the bladder inside out to dry fast; They have even added a hook or “drying tab” to suspend the bag and help it dry out.

The 3D design of the bag means it evenly distributes the water in the bladder and on your back. This, combined with the baffles, helps make the bag stable in your backpack.
