HydraPak hydration reservoir Velocity 1.5L bladder - malibu, lightweight drink bladder for packs

The HydraPak hydration reservoir Velocity 1.5L bladder in malibu is a flexible, lightweight drink bladder designed to supply water in backpacks and hydration packs. The 1.5-litre capacity provides a compact water source for short trips and daily use. The reservoir includes an integrated drinking tube and bite valve for hands-free access, and its low-profile shape is intended to fit a variety of pack types without adding significant bulk or weight.

Advantages

The design emphasises low weight, flexible storage and simple connection to existing pack compartments. The soft, foldable reservoir reduces empty-space volume as water is consumed, and the included drinking tube with bite valve enables quick, one-handed sipping. Materials are selected for durability and repeated use, and the bladder’s slim profile supports compatibility with slim or tapered hydration sleeves.

Suitable for

• Day hikes and short backpacking trips
• Trail running and jogging
• Cycling and commuting
• Gym sessions and general outdoor activities

Key specifications

• Capacity: 1.5 litres
• Material: flexible, lightweight hydration-grade film
• Outlet: attached drinking tube with bite valve for hands-free drinking
• Shape: low-profile, pack-compatible reservoir

How to use

Fill the reservoir with potable water up to the indicated capacity, close the fill opening securely, route the drinking tube through your pack’s hydration port and secure the bite valve within comfortable reach of your shoulder strap. To drink, simply bite the valve and draw; to stop flow, release the bite. After use, rinse the reservoir and tube with warm water and allow to air dry fully before storage to prevent odour and microbial growth.

Usage recommendations

For best results, avoid leaving water in the bladder for extended periods and clean the reservoir regularly. Use only potable water and periodically inspect the bite valve and tube for wear. When packing, keep the bladder flat against your back or inside the hydration sleeve for balanced weight distribution.
