In all honesty Source, Camelback and Platypus are all very good, it just all depends upon what features you're after and what is on offer/the cheapest at the time. All of these brands include bite valves and the recommended amount to take for a full day exped is 2ltrs and as a leader 3 wouldn't hurt.

Water bladders are really great inventions and Platypus are a great brand for durability and price.

When I first saw this item in a shop I thought to myself "WHY" but soon realised this is a fantastic idea.

In summer, double that - you lose a lot through sweating as well. When you start feeling thirsty, it's too late.
