This revolutionary hydration system features a non-toxic freezer gel that keeps liquids cool during your favorite activities. Consistent freezing action of the POLARPAK inhibits the growth of bacteria, considerably cutting down the cleaning regimen. If you are one of those enthusiasts that adds ice to their reservoir, the POLARPAK system is a much better option because it keeps fluids colder longer, won’t dilute sports drinks as the ice melts, doesn’t harbor sharp ice fragments (which can penetrate regular bladders) and is much easier to remove from the pack due to the quick release coupler. On top of all that, it makes a great icepack for trailside emergencies.

Works great until gel leak occurred

Gel leaked at seam, if squares were sewn individually it would be better. If leak happens anywhere on bladder all gel is gone

Works just fine....pricepoint did replace for free so we will see if this one holds up. I only used it 3 times before gel leak
