I think that all USWE packs should come with the "pro" version of the bladder where you can remove the tube to clean. I love being able to pop out the tube, fill the bladder and store in fridge or even put in freezer a little and then popping on the tube when I want to ride. then you can clean and store separate. So loving the new bladder and will keep original as a backup but honestly this shouldnt be an add on. It should be standard.

FAQ
Can I put ice cubes in this hydration bladder? +
Yes. The wide slider opening is designed to fit ice cubes easily, so you can keep your water cold on hot weather rides without fighting with a narrow cap.
Does this bladder work with other brands' hydration packs? +
The Elite fits most hydration packs that accommodate a 1.5 liter bladder. The Plug-n-Play coupling works best with USWE tubes, but you can swap to standard connections if needed.
How do I clean this bladder without a bottle brush? +
Flip it inside out through the wide slider opening, then rinse and scrub by hand. No bottle brush required since you can reach every corner directly.
Will this bladder give my water a plastic taste? +
The Elite is built to minimize plastic taste. Rinse it thoroughly before first use and let it air dry completely between rides to keep your water tasting clean.
Can I replace just the drink tube if it gets damaged? +
Yes. The Plug-n-Play coupling lets you snap the tube off and replace it in seconds without buying a whole new bladder.
