The product picture & text are deceptive & Optics Planet should change both. One gets the impression that a cover as depicted is included with the bladder. In fact it is not. The 'confusion' aside, this completely changes the 'value received for money paid' equation. Without a pouch/cover this small bladder holding less than even the quart capacity of old style GI canteens is worth maybe ten bucks, tops, half of what it's priced at.
Pros: Compact & well made
Cons: Volume capacity isn't real practical for field use.
