This is a total game changer. Perfect for my hunting trips. Gives me enough room inside my backpack. Always had a hard time drinking water from my water bladder after packing and carrying all that meat. Now I just carry two 1 liter bottles 1 with my rig and an extra one just in case.

Love it, works flawlessly.

Great design using a smart bottle. The valve and disconnect work great. I have several friends that have purchased this system and love it.

This product makes a huge positive impact to my backpacking - I can now take periodic sips of water on the move without having to carry a water bottle in my hand or on my pack straps. Fits a smart water bottle perfectly and hose is plenty long to reach either side pocket or even rear pouch. Air hole has a small relief valve in it to prevent water from spilling out and to keep foreign material out of your water. The hose disconnect allows you to change out the cap and straw from your empty bottle to your full bottle. The clip to connect hose and bite valve to pack strap is helpful but kind of flimsy and prone to falling off my pack strap - would like to see that proved. Only reason I give this 4 stars. Product is well made and rugged. I would recommend this for anyone who has trouble reaching the bottles in your pack pockets without having to take off the pack.

I recently picked up a swig rig, and I can’t believe it took me this long to find out about this product! There are so many reasons this hydration system is hands-down better than any bladder system. First off, paired with a big Nalgene bottle, which I do, is great for so many reasons. You can have it outside of your packs and get a visual on what you have for water, you never have to worry about a bladder breaking in your pack, WAY easier to fill and clean a Nalgene than a bladder, the quick-detach means that you can get multiple hoses for all of your packs and just have it set up on each one and when you’re ready to use, you just drop a Nalgene in your side pocket and you’re good to go! This is absolutely the best way to stay hydrated out in the field, plus it doesn’t take up any room inside your packs. I wish I came up with this, but so glad the Hardside Hydration guys did! Customer for life and telling everyone I know how much this is a game changer. Well done🤙

This thing is a game changer! No more soft bladder that leaks all over my pack!

Used this easy solution a few times now, was able to keep a large water bottle in my purse while shopping and keep hydrated even though the temperature outside was unbearably hot. Also, the customer service with this company is phenomenal! They are quick to respond and find solutions that work.

Bought this setup to not have to use a bladder bag setup cause I don't like the plastic flavor they have so this one is super easy to clean out so you can use flavor packs or hydration packs in this system with no problem 😊 No weird taste because you use a smart water bottle or something similar. I bought 2 of these for hunting season and we both have loved the setup!

Bought it for Christmas for my father, mostly to see if I liked it so I could buy myself one as well. We tried it on several different brands and styles of bottles and it leaked on all of them. Definitely wouldn't trust it in a pack. They did refund the price of the purchase, but were pretty snarky about it in the process. It's a good idea, but just didn't work.

I use this when motorcycle touring. I can just grab a bottle of water from a gas station, and stuff it up by the windshield. No filling bladders or anything. Great for keeping hydrated on long rides.

Great product, even better company! These guys are the real deal. Customer service that actually cares about the customer and providing a really great product. I will be sipping through the swig rig for years to come! Product highly recommended for anyone that needs a hydration solution that won’t soak your down sleeping bag when you are 12 miles deep on day 4 of an archery elk hunt! Such a great way to monitor your h2o between water sources too! Thank you so much hardsidehydration!

I can’t say enough good things, both about the product and customer service. I had an original unit from when the company started years ago. Lost a piece and called for a replacement, fully expecting to pay for the lost part. They wouldn’t hear of it and sent me a new unit at no cost. I also have the smaller unit that affixes to the top of Smart Water bottle. I haven’t had anything from Hardside Hydration that hasn’t operated anything but flawlessly. *The aforementioned lost part was completely my fault btw…..
