An extra-durable hydration resevoir.
Hydrapak says:
Made to handle whatever you throw at it, the ultra-durable Force™ DSL 3L is engineered for demanding environments where reliability is essential. Its short, wide shape with Dual Shape-Loc™ (DSL) baffles gives it a trim profile that fits in compact packs and plate carriers and delivers better balance and maneuverability in tight spaces. Heavyweight TPU material and welded seams give it a durable build, the rugged grab handle makes it easy to pull in and out of packs, and the HydraFusion™ drink tube insulates and protects. Shielded by a dust cover, the bite valve delivers a strong stream, self-seals, and locks closed to prevent leaks.
Our Verdict
Hydrapak's Force Hydration Reservoir uses tougher materials to make a hydration system fit for whatever you can throw at it. They also manage to keep the weight very reasonable.
