Agilite SAPI Trinkblase

I just got the SAPI bladder last week and wanted this to replace my old camelbak. I didn't get the micro map yet since I love the AMAP III a lot and I already had one on my K19 as well as I got another one for my K-zero. I have the K19 setup for several day OPs and the K-zero for shorter than a day OPs. The bladder is perfectly easy to use. Sadly the AMAP III has no side hole like the MicroMAP but this wasn't an issue for me, since I also planned on using a filter with it.
This way I can whip it out on a several day OP and fill it with water from a river without worrying to much. The filter I used was a camelbak inline filter kit (lifestraw) which luckily fits perfectly. It slots in and allows the hose to be a little longer than usual which I actually really like. The 3L is a perfect amount of being large enough without being to bulky. I prefer this form factor over the camelbak which I also have since it fits way better into my kit and is way easier to fill in my opinion. Granted with the AMAP III its not as quick to remove bladder from the back pocket for a refill and for those looking for a speedier way I can recommend combining the AMAP III with a MicroMAP. By having the MicroMAP sandwiched between the AMAP III and plate carrier. I have seen some other fellows rock that way and I must say I'm impressed how well that works.

All in all I'm very happy with it and I'm glad I could run it with a filter just for my own peace of mind. With the MicroMAP I don't recommend using a filter because you would run the filter outside of the rest of the pack and I don't know how durable they would be exposed to the elements.

I purchased the Agilite Micro MAP for use with my K19 plate carrier and obviously chose to get the Agilite SAPI Hydration Bladder with it. The Hydration Bladder was one of the main reasons I opted for the Micro MAP and I am more than happy with both. Insertion into the Micro MAP is easy because of its slim profile, even when filled to the max. I always put it into the fridge before use and after several hours at around 30 degrees celsius, being in direct sunlight most of the time, the water was still cool and refreshing. The water in the tube may get a little warmer but that’s normal. Even with my civilian hydration bladder with insulation around the tube it happens. Top quality like all of Agilite products!!!

This bladder held up very well to being used for pretty hard for an extended period of time in a desert environment.

This product is an amazing design especially when you compare it to the camelback the army issues you. You can wear a ruck with it/ assault bag/ or get in vehicles and not have to reset your kit either bc of a stupid hydration bladder

It fits really well into the back panel with the slot at the bottom. 3L is perfect for size.
