It should fit perfectly if the dimensions are the same as the Wilson Vestpac. It was purchased to replace the vestpac's stock bladder.
3" x 9" x 14"
That's correct. The bite valve has a quick release, allowing the bladder to be refilled without having to remove it from the pack. For a Sawyer filter, I need the proper fitting, which can be found at REI.
The drinking tube is covered with a sewn foam cover that isn't very thick. I hope this has been of assistance.

Filling and cleaning it is much more difficult than with other designs, the tube is fine, but the bitting valve does not always work properly, leaving me unable to drink when I need it. If I could return it, I would, and it is not recommended.
I ordered this to supplement my water supply while hiking the PCT through Southern California. It leaked after making its way into my backpack while still full of water. We fiddled around with the o- I looked at the ring and it appeared to be watertight, but I couldn't risk getting my sleeping gear wet. My girlfriend used a platypus bladder, which didn't leak, and I'm currently using a hydrapack bladder, both of which have top slide closures. That might be a better option. br>br>This isn't the first time Camleback has leaked for me, but it will be the last.
This is the first time I've ever bought and used a hydration bag. I probably would have purchased a 2 liter bag if I had given this consideration when making my purchase. Because I live in a tropical climate, I hike in the mountains with a heavy backpack full of cameras. When compared to carrying loose water bottles, the addition of the hydration bag made a huge difference in terms of convenience. The only drawback I can think of is the plastic flavor of the first few water bags. You'll need water if you're hiking in a hot climate. The benefits of carrying a hydration bag are immeasurable.
These bladders appeal to me greatly. I bought two to take with me on my backpacking trips. I like how the hose has a quick disconnect; it makes refilling a breeze. Simply disconnect the hose from the bladder inside the pack (or whatever you're using) and completely remove the bladder from the pack before refilling it. The bladder can hold water even if the hose is disconnected. The bite valve, as well as the on/off valve, are excellent. The bladder's large open allows for the addition of ice to make the water cooler. The hose guard protects the hose from abrasion and the sun, preventing the water in the hose from becoming too hot to handle (you'd have to blow it back into the bladder otherwise). br>br>Now, my only gripe is that there are no attached clips/mechanism to attach the daggum hose to a pack's shoulder strap. Even so, I gave it a five-star rating because everything else about it is excellent, and it's my fault for not noticing that it didn't come with it. Aside from that, it's an excellent product, perhaps the best on the market.
My item did not arrive in the green color shown in the picture; instead, it arrived in black, which I don't mind as much as the green one did. The only disadvantage I can see is that my water will heat up faster during the summer. I haven't put it to the test because I haven't gone out yet, but it feels sturdy and well-made, and it fits perfectly into the Haley Strategic Flat Pack, as if it were designed for it!.
These Milspec bladders are the ones to get if you need to replace your camelbak or competitor bladder. br>br>We just swapped out our old bladders for these before a week in the Utah desert, which was hot, sandy, and rugged. They did a fantastic job of resisting wear and tear. The hose comes with a nice sheath, a shut-off valve, and a quick-release connector. Much superior to the standard ones found in outdoor research. The plastic is thick and sturdily constructed. I would strongly advise you to spend the extra money to get these. br>br>The only thing that could make them better would be if they came with gel cooling packs like the outdoor ones.
When I first filled it, it leaked like a faucet. The lid's seal was completely useless - The water had just flowed out of the faucet. I had the same type of lid on my old camelback bladder, and it worked perfectly, so I know I'm not doing anything wrong. Unfortunately, I purchased this far in advance for a trip that I had planned months in advance, and by the time I needed it, the return window had closed.
Good: Durable, odorless, and functional once filledbr>Not so good: When filling, it's extremely difficult to secure the cap. To get a leak, you'll have to try several times. the seal of authenticity I'm hoping that their designers can come up with a more user-friendly solution. To secure the filling cap to the bladder, use a user-friendly locking method.
