Osprey Hydraulics 500ml SoftFlask Reservoir O/S

Not cheap ! But in fairness if you take care of it , it seems to last quite well. The size is good , fits my running vest pocket and of course the tube can be cut to size if you put a longer tube in yourself .

his is not my first time buying this brand, and I keep coming back to it for a reason. I’ve tried other, even more popular, brands – but many of them had a strong chemical smell or poorly designed caps that would leak. Osprey flasks have always been reliable for me: no smell, no leaks, easy to use on the go. I’ve been using them for years and only replace them when I lose one or when they get too yellow from long use. Also, the price is the best I’ve seen for this level of quality. Highly recommend!

Just what I needed. With this being slightly wider than most means it's not too tall which is exactly what I was looking for. It means it's not hanging out my vest too much. Great product

I generally use an Osprey bladder for my water and added this to my kit for two reasons - a vital backup in case of a bladder puncture which could be a real problem in remote locations; and to take electrolytes. The 500ml size is perfect for one of my electrolyte tablets and means I can keep the bladder for water and use the bottle for that. It is really strong, has never leaked and does what I need perfectly. I have been using it for around a year now.

Light and easy to use. I like to drink fast, however arthritis means most bottles are too hard to squeeze and sucking is difficult when puffing. Perhaps a 750ml bottle with a softer compound center is what I need. Hint hint bottle manufacturers.

Leaked from day one. I know that this is meant for the strap pockets on a running vest, but I thought (at £15) it would be leak-free to go in my back pocket like I used to carry my Platypus Softbottle 0.5l in for years until it gave up the ghost. Waste of money. I can't even tell for sure where it is leaking from but presume it must either be the thread on the screwcap or the bite-valve and the action of walking is flexing either location too much. You would think a quality brand like Osprey would test these things in a variety of different carry-locations. No way I would have this in a backpack or jacket pocket where it could get other things wet. To be certain, I've tested out in various trecking trouser pockets and it leaks in all of them – at least it's only my leg or backside that's getting wet. Don't waste your money unless you're carrying it in a strap pocket. Also, not a pleasant taste. How do Nalgene and Platypus manage a taste-free bottle/flask and others seem content with a chemical after-taste?

The bottle bit was missing… super annoying!!!

Sehr gut verarbeitet, und hat keinen chemischen Geruch oder Geschmack. Klare Kaufempfehlung

good quality, doesn’t leave weird taste to the water, but I it misses a lid to the tip where you put your mouth

Articolo conforme e spedizione rapida

Buen producto llego a tiempo, bien empaquetado, los productos ospray para mi son muy buenos, buenos materiales

a lot easier to store and fit in various pouches than a hard bottle and its quite durable. even if it does break, Osprey has a seamless lifetime warranty process on all their products so youll get a replacement super fast. the bottle cap is easy to take off all the small bits which is good because you should be cleaning the inside of the mouth piece often to avoid bacteria build up ( which you could see clearly through the opaque parts). does not spill and only dispenses water when the tip is compressed so its great!
