The water drinking tube comes with an additional extension tube to prevent difficulty when drinking from the tube itself, and can be held into place via a tube magnet preventing the tube swinging during movement. Covers are especially useful for keeping your valve from freezing, but they also protect against dirt and other debris.

With over 300 hours of filling bladders and sucking on bite valves, we have thoroughly vetted and tested every model in this review.Pure Clear® brings you our Hydration Bladder with extending tube and magnet, ideal for when your excursion requires a hands-free approach and hydration is required.

All are puncture-resistant, and after months (to years) of testing, they haven't leaked through the bag itself. The Hydraulics uses a supple and opaque TPU film (our older version has remained puncture-free throughout the years) and includes a quick-disconnect fitting, bite valve with twist closure, and magnetic hose clip—features we’ve come to expect in a high-quality design.
