Elite The hydration bladder is made out of TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) and comes complete with a straight Rocket bite valve. Easy quick connector with Fixed Coupling and flexible non-kinking Hydraflex drink tube. The hydration system is reversible for easy cleaning and drying. The hydration bladder has a patented wide slider opening for quick filling and leak proof seal and also has RF welded seams for durability.
These bladders can be used as a direct replacement in a wide variety of hydration packs from many brands. They can also be used to modify a regular backpack into a hydration pack if you so desire. The USWE Elite bladders are manufactured by HYDRAPAK which is the same manufacturer that most of the hydration pack brands use.

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 Your 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 The 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.
