The naturally antimicrobial Metallocene (mPE) offers outstanding durability and delivers BPA, PVC and taste-free water through a high flow bite valve that is kept close at hand with a magnetic retainer.
Hi, what sort of bladder will fit a blackwolf fury 30 backpack? As I notice the insert inside is different (lower) than other blackwolf backpacks.
G'day Phillip,
We don't currently carry the Fury, so I can't physically test it out for you, but from memory the 2L bladder would be the best bet.
Check it out here.
Hi I’m wondering if this will fit into my Kathmandu Katabatic 28l pack?
G'day Dale,
We don't sell that particular pack so we can't test that out for you, but this bladder measures 44L x 20W x 5.5H cm when in use, so if you compare that to the internal dimensions of your pack, it might give you a better idea of fit. Sorry we couldn't be of more help, Dale.
I want a bladder that will not roll up so most are not suitable. Currently I use an Osprey Hydraulics 3L while mountain biking and I want to know if this bladder can perform in a similar fashion. I find that the fully collapsible bladders can block themselves if teh hanging point in either the pack or on the bladder fails.
G'day Conor,
This bladder does have the full length handle to prevent it from collapsing. It's attached at the top and bottom and not attached to the body of the bladder. This should keep it upright and prevent any blockages.
Does the 3L hydration bladder fit in the envelope shape in my 30 L pack ?
G'day Marg,
I'm assuming your 30L pack is either the Black Wolf Woody? Or maybe the Oxford? Either way, I've just been and double checked whether the 3ltr bladder would fit and YES mate, I'm happy to report that it does on both counts :)
Have you heard any feedback about whether this fits into the 2019 Jamboree backpacks - going by the measurements, it's a couple of cm too big
G'day Catherine,
I'm not sure which backpack you're referring to sorry. If it's the Black Wolf Hype 30 that we've listed as a good option for the Jamboree then yes, it will fit. If that's not the one get back to me with a link for the pack and I'll check it out for you.
I have a Caribee Platoon Auscam 70L backpack and it does not have a hydration sleeve and hole. Can I not attach this externally? How can I attach, if yes?
G'day Adil,
Theoretically, you can use the Black Wolf Tank Hydration Bladder externally on your pack but there is a greater risk of the bladder being damaged. You could pop in inside the top of the pack and run the hose out of the hood flap gap. Or you can get bladders with a bit of protection here that are designed to attach to the outside of your pack.
Specs do say 3 litre will fit but am assuming the same brand..wondering if the black wolfs hydration bladder will fit in..from memory is this the one you can turn inside out to clean? BTW loving the deuter..
G'day Deb,
So glad to hear that you're loving your Deuter! The 3L Black Wolf Tank Hydration Bladder will fit inside your 35 10 ACT Lite without too many worries. The Tank doesn't go inside out for cleaning, no, but it does have a really wide opening at the top which makes it super easy to clean out.
if not how about the 2L?
G'day Bailey,
We don't sell any Mont products, so I wasn't able to give this a test at all but having looked at the dimensions and done some research, I'm pretty confident that you'll be able to fit a 3L Black Wolf Tank Hydration Bladder in that bag.
Hi there. Would the three litre bladder fit in the Deuter Zugspitze 22L pack?
G'day Alex,
I've just given this a quick whirl and whilst it was a bit of a squeeze, I did manage to get the Black Wolf 3 Litre Hydration Bladder inside the Deuter Zugspitze 22.
Hi, I have the Blackwolf Mckinley 65L Pack and was wondering if the 3L will fit or should i go the 2L option. Cheers Thomas
G'day Thomas,
You'll have no worries at all using the 3L Black Wolf Hydration Bladder in your Mckinley 65L Pack.
Doing kokoda , have Blackwolf tempo 30.
G'day Julie,
The Black Wolf Tempo 30 is large enough to fit either the 2 or the 3 litre Black Wolf Tank Hydration Bladder. Given you're doing Kokoda, I'd probably recommend going for the 3L option.
.
G'day Kirra,
I've just had a chat with our backpack expert, Kym. He said that whilst you will be able to squeeze a 3L Black Wolf Tank Hydration Bladder into your Black Wolf Woody 30 Pack. He did say though that the 2L will fit a lot better with less effort though.
Does the 3L pack fit the Blackwolf Freestyle 30L
G'day Jared,
Whilst we don't have any of the Black Wolf Freestyle bags in stock to check, the 3 Litre Black Wolf Tank Hydration Bladder fit well in other 30L Black Wolf bags, so we're fairly certain that you'll have no issues.
Measurements 18h cm x 11l cm x 7.5w cm. If you could let me know, that would be great. Thank you so much.
G'day Laura,
Without having one to test for certainty's sake, we're really confident that you'll be able to fit a 3 Litre Black Wolf Tank Hydration Bladder into your Kathmandu backpack.
Hello i own a Dueter airlite 26l hiking backpack that i ordered from Snowys. Will this 3 litre black wolf hydration bladder fit into this back pack? Cheers, Kristy
G'day Kristy,
I've just had a look at the Deuter Airlite 26 for you and can confirm that you should have no issues with fitting your 3 Litre Black Wolf Tank Hydration Bladder inside it.
Can this be used with a Futura 28 Day Pack?
G'day Hadi,
I've just grabbed one of the Black Wolf Tank Hydration Bladder - 3 Litre from the shelf and given it a try in the Deuter Futura 28 Day Pack. It fits nice and snuggly, so you won't have any issues with it at all!
Will the 3 Litre Bladder fit into the Black Wolf Cirrus 35L Daypack which I recently purchased?
G'day Brad,
Unfortunately, I don't have a Cirrus 35L here in our store so I can't check it for you. I do, however, have the Black Wolf Titanium & Black Wolf Tsunami, both are 35L bags & both fit the Black Wolf Tank Hydration Bladder - 3 Litre with relative ease. So whilst I can't say beyond doubt, I am 99.9% sure that you won't have any issues at all!
Are all water contact parts anti-microbial treated to eliminate bacteria and mold?
G'day Brad,
I've just wandered down to the shop floor to check out one of these little beauties and I can indeed confirm that yes, the Black Wolf Tank Hydration Bladder - 3 Litre is treated with an anti-microbial film, so you'll be safe to enjoy your water for many, many years to come!
on the black wold website it shows the one with the circular opening? also will a 3 litre fit in to the daypack that comes with the cedar breaks and cuba 75 l backpacks?
G'day Jackie,
We don't currently have the twist top caps but can place a special order for you. We'd just need you to give our customer support team a call on 1300 914 007.
The 3L can be squished into the Cedar Breaks daypack (which is hydration compatible), however, it might be asking too much to get a 3L bladder into the Cuba daypack (which isn't hydration compatible).
I had (5L) hydration backpack. Will this fit into the bag?
G'day Kresia,
As the Black Wolf Tank is rigid along the top, it may be harder to squash down into another brand hydration pack. The dimensions of this bladder are 44L x 20W x 5.5H cm so it might be a good idea to compare those to your pack to see if it will fit.
Hi, Will the 3L bladder fit in the 25L black wolf day pack?
G'day Ben,
Can you clarify which Black Wolf Day Pack you have so I'm able to give you a definitive answer?
I have the classic day pack
G'day Ben,
Unfortunately, to fit a 3L bladder inside a Black Wolf Classic 25L daypack would be a big squeeze. We'd recommend a 2L bladder for a better fit.
I have read a review that says the bladder pack is too big for the Cedar Breaks 75L pack. Is this true?
G'day Dee,
You are able to use a 3L Bladder with the Black Wolf Cedar 75L pack. However, please note that as it's a travelling pack, there isn't a specific hydration port included in the pack, but that you can run the hydration bladder between the zips.
looking for a hydration bladder to fit the tempo 30 pack
G'day Leesa,
I've been down on the shop floor and checked this out for you and you'll be fine fitting either the 2L or 3L Tank Hydration Bladder in a Tempo 30.
Interested in buying a pack and I already have the bladder, but does anyone know if it will fit?
G'day Emily,
The Black Wolf Tank Hydration Bladder 3L will fit in your 70L pack no worries.
Hi can you please tell me which sizes will fit in the 55L mountain ash pack - thanks.
G'day Lucy,
The Mountain Ash 55L is capable of fitting both the 2L and 3L Tank bladder.
I have a Black Wolf Monashee 40L Day Pack. Would the 3L Hydration Bladder fit?
G'day Mason,
The Black Wolf 3L bladder will fit into the Black Wolf Monashee 40L day pack with no worries.
Hi, Would this fit in an Osprey Atmos AG 65 backpack?
G'day David,
Unfortunately, we don't stock Osprey products so I'm unable to give you any concrete advice for your question. I've just had a read through Osprey's website and sadly, they don't provide any information to help me answer your question either. My guess is that with a 65L pack, you would be able to fit a 3L hydration bladder as that is the case with the 65L packs that we do sell, but as I said, I can't say this with any guarantee.
I have a Blackwolf Explorer 35 and was wondering if this bladder would fit my pack. Thankyou, Sam.
G'day Sam,
While we don't currently stock the Black Wolf Explorer 35, I have called Black Wolf and they assure me that the 3L Hydration Bladder will fit inside the backpack.
Hi Guys, my apologies for asking, but I received a Blackwolf Cedarbreaks 90L pack from you today and was now needing a bladder that fits. My old Camelbak is too long and it appears that the 3L Blackwolf tank will also be too long. Is it at all possible for you to see if the Camelbak 3L Antidote Lumber or Crux is the best fit as they are shorter. Cheers Mark
G'day Mark,
I've just tried both the 3L Camelbak Crux and Lumber here in the store and unfortunately, while I can get them to fit, it doesn't sit well in the hydration pouch. Because of this, I wouldn't suggest either of the 3L sizes. I was, however, able to get the 2L Camelbak Crux to fit with no worries.
Am thinking I will buy titanium black wolf 35L day pack. Does the black wolf 3L hydration bladder fit that ok? I have never used hydration bladder before so just not sure.
G'day Row,
I've just tried this for myself with the display, and the 3L Black Wolf Bladder does fit in the Titanium 35L Day Pack from Black Wolf.
I have a Black Wolf McKinley 75L pack. I noticed a reviewer suggesting the 3L size didn't fit right and he should have gone 2L. There is nothing on the Black Wolf site about what should fit with what. Can you advise whether the 3L can fit?
G'day Joe,
We've just tried this for ourselves in store, and the reviewer is right - the 3L Tank bladder does not fit in the McKinley 75 or 85 size which is quite odd given they're made by the same company.
We also tried the McKinley 75L with the 2L Tank Bladder, and that size definitely does fit.
Hi, Have read reviews mentioning the plastic taste. I recently read in a forum about campers and people complaining about the test from the water tank. One suggestion that was confirmed by others was to rinse out the tank, bladder in this case, with red cordial of all things. But apparently it works. You might like to mention that in your reply to the relevant reviews. Cheers
G'day Neil,
Thanks for passing on the tip about the red cordial! We find that any taste will go away after a few uses, and that it can also depend on the individual - but it's good to have options if that's a concern.
I'll be sure to pass that on to anyone who has any queries about this bladder as I know that is a concern for some purchasing a product like this.Â
Hi Guys, I recently purchased this bladder and find the hose to be very stiff, making it a little annoying when clipped onto my bag. Does the hose become more flexible over time, or do you sell an alternative product that can be fitted to this bladder? Many thanks :)
G’day Waylon, I’ve had a look for you and Black Wolf don’t make or sell replacement hoses for their hydration bladders. Black Wolf and Camelbak make the leading hydration products, and both their hoses have the same flexibility. The density of the plastic is likely for durability purposes, so perhaps yours will just need to be used a little more to soften it up.
