Sizing Guide

Additional Information

The best way to keep your bladder in top-notch shape is to clean it with soap and water and let it dry completely after every use. The Shape-Shift and Elite bladders are especially easy to clean because theyre reversible! They are also dishwasher (top-shelf recommended) friendly. The following information is recommended by the manufacturer (Hydrapak). Read the full support thread here.

Cleaning hydration bladder
Reverse by placing your hand in the bladder, grab the bottom, and pull it back through the top opening, just like turning a sock inside-out. The molded opening can also be flipped after the bladder body has been reversed. Then, throw it in the dishwasher or rinse with mild soap and water. Make sure to let the bladder dry out completely while reversed.

Cleaning hose & mouthpiece
All of our components are removable for easy cleaning. Disconnect the drink tube from the bladder. Grasp the bite valve in one hand and tube in the other then pull the valve firmly to remove the bite valve from the tube. Gently remove the silicone sheath from the valve and clean with Bottle Bright or mild soap and water. Clean the inside of the tube by inserting the Hydrapak Tube Brush in the open end of the tube and scrub. After drying the components, carefully reattach the sheath to the valve and re-install.

Bladder has a weird taste
Some users may initially notice a plastic-like taste when using any of our products made with TPU. This taste typically subsides over time and can be eliminated by simply squeezing juice from a lemon into the product, filling it with water, and then freezing it. After frozen, remove, thaw, and rinse.

CAN I HEAT UP MY BLADDER?

WHAT LUBRICATION DO YOU RECOMMEND FOR THE CONNECTOR? (PLUG & PLAY)
To make the lifetime of your hydration system as long as it could possibly be we recommend lubricating the o-ring before each use. We recommend following Hydrapaks recommendations for lubrication and to not use any other lubricants. Hydrapak recommend using silicone, glycerin, or beeswax-based lubricants applied to the o-ring. Just apply a small smear on the o-ring - a little goes a long way! Do not use petroleum-based lubricants, or olive oil, coconut oil, or any other types of cooking oil as they cause the seal to swell, and will make the system sticky and hard to release.
