Product Description

Sette has redesigned the popular Flopak Bladder to aide in the ease of filling and cleaning purposes. It has a 3 1/2” wide-opening, and is compatible with most Hydration packs. The Flopak is extremely durable and taste free. The bite valve comes complete with a shut off switch locking mechanism to ensure your belongings stay dry when not in use.

Strengths:    Carry a lot of water for not a lot of coin.

Weaknesses:    Low-flow bite valve, difficulty screwing the cap securely back in place, hose leaks at where it attaches to bladder,

Bottom Line:   
Fist let me just say, I've purchased many many Sette items including a full bike and this is the first item I have not liked. This was purchased as a complete system (bladder + pack). On the bladder, even though the cap has very large threads, it is still somehow hard a frustrating to screw it in place correctly and with a water-tight seal. Also, water was seeping out from where the hose attached to the bladder but two small zip-ties fixed that.

The pack itself is also somewhat poorly designed. First of all, the bladder must be completely removed to fill and stuffing it all back in can get a little cumbersome. Also, with the bladder completely filled the pack is unable to be closed. These are minor complaints and worth putting up with on a $20 100oz hydration pack.

Strengths:    100 oz. capacity, large fill opening accommodates ice cubes easily, cheap

Weaknesses:    Bite valve is terrible. Very little water flow, and plenty of added air.

Bottom Line:   
If you plan on swapping out the bite valve immediately, then this bladder is a reasonable choice. It's still cheap even if you have to buy another bite valve.
