Osprey Hydraulics Lt Reservoir

Not that difficult to figure out how to use, but it's the same quality material that Osprey has always used. Except in a slimmer and lighter profile. Now there's literally zero competition between a waterbladder and a nalgene for me.

I had recently purchased an Osprey Daylite pack and decided to spend the few extra dollars on the Osprey 1.5 L Reservoir. Like a couple of the reviews, I too was looking for some written instructions. However, I quickly found the video, which was very helpful. I followed along with the narrator; going back and reviewing what he said and demonstrated quite a few times. I too felt like I was going to rip or break the opening when I tried to open it the first time. I had trouble disconnecting the hose from the quick connect in order to re-route it to the left side of the reservoir. I also had trouble with the bite valve locking mechanism. However, I found that both problems were resolved quickly with working out the stiffness/tightness of the new plastic. Overall I really like the reservoir and feel like I've made a huge step up from my previous ones.
