Beer cans are cheaper and more fun.

The biggest drawback of the soft CamelBak reservoirs is draining them dry. With Platypus reservoirs, you simply blow them up a bit by mouth and let them drain and dry. CamelBak's soft material won't allow that. Now, this bit of twelve-dollar plastic does work as advertised, but rather than spend money on what probably cost eleven cents to manufacture in China, I use a twelve-ounce empty Coors can, although most other brands works just as well. Simply slip the empty can through the filler hole, hang the entire unit upside down to drain and dry and you're done. If you're the fastidious type, you may want to rearrange the can once or twice to drain any water that was trapped between Coors and CamelBak. On sale, Coors costs about $3.99 for a sixer. That's six dry-outs or, if you're like me, one dry-out and a nice buzz. Figure out what your priorities are.

This works well to dry out your bladder and keep it clean. You can always just stick the tube into the bladder to keep it open and hang it by the hook. This is definitely easier though.
The only way to dry out your reservoir!

I have a 3L Omega pack and before I bought this i had to rig up clothespins and clips, but this fits perfectly and allows water to evaporate quickly. Worth the money as all camelbak products are.
Keep it clean!

If you are like me, and you are constantly cleaning you hydration reservoir, then this is a must! You just slide it in the opening, hang it to dry and come back to it later.
