How much water does the Elite Hydraflex hold?

One liter, which is about 34 fl oz. That covers roughly an hour to 90 minutes of hard effort for most riders and runners.

Is it a good replacement bladder for a USWE pack?

Yes. It is made for USWE harnesses, so it slides into the sleeve and connects the same way as the original reservoir.

TPU is chosen partly to avoid the strong plastic taste of cheaper PVC bladders. Rinse it before the first use and dry it fully between rides.

It fits any pack with a sleeve wide enough for a 16-inch bladder, but the hose routing and bite valve work best with USWE's own harness setup.

Rinse with warm water after each use, let it air dry fully open, and store it unfilled. A bladder brush helps reach the corners of the wide shape.

For rides over two hours most people want a second bottle or a refill stop. The slim shape makes it easy to pair with a frame bottle.
