Had decided on the basis of the top-product testing (eg in the Trail Magazine) and the mostly good reviews on the purchase of hydration as a substitute for Camelbakprodukte (with the known problems in cleaning and drying). The benefits of hydration have been already discussed enough - we can only confirm this. But by many other users an extremely unpleasant taste has been described - so we went tense in the first test. After a very short time and we found it extremely unpleasant taste, which is not to ignore even when using non-neutral liquids. It raised the question of where this evil comes and so we have put ourselves on the search. The material of the bubble itself and the tube came out of the question - here is clearly an extremely neutral material. Thus we have the mouthpiece completely dismantled times and since the solution was then already apparent. The mouthpiece is indeed equipped with a rotational system for fastening, by the manufacturer to improve mobility with a lubricant !!! is provided. From the appearance and smell her it could be to Vaseline - at least let's hope that this is a reasonably harmless lubricant. Here's just exactly the lubricant, which is partly to be found inside and thus contact with the beverage has, connected to an extremely unpleasant taste. We then boiled the completely disassembled mouthpiece and sent after a walk through the dishwasher. The lubricant and also the unpleasant taste had disappeared after - Problem solved !! With rinsing alone that would certainly not have been possible! What the manufacturer has meant there is no trace of us, but fortunately will resolve the problem yes.
