Product Information
Full details
The Fidlock HERMETIC Hydration Bladder is an ideal accessory for hikers, mountain bikers, and climbers who demand a reliable, leak-free hydration system that operates intuitively. Its primary benefit is the innovative magnetic self-sealing closure, which eliminates the hassle of traditional clips or sliders, though users accustomed to standard roll-top systems may require a brief period to adjust to the magnetic sealing mechanism.

FAQs
Is the Fidlock HERMETIC bladder compatible with all backpacks?
Yes, it is designed to be compatible with most standard hydration-ready backpacks that feature a dedicated bladder compartment.
Can I put sports drinks or juice in the bladder?
While it is made of high-quality TPU, we recommend strictly using water for the easiest maintenance, as sugary drinks can leave residues that are difficult to clean.
Will the magnets interfere with my phone?
While the magnets are powerful, they are generally safe for modern smartphones, but it is best practice to keep the bladder separated from magnetic-sensitive items like legacy hard drives or magnetic strip cards.
How do I ensure the bladder is completely dry?
Open the magnetic seal fully and hang the bladder upside down. Because the opening is the full width of the bag, airflow is excellent.
Does the 2.5L version fit in smaller packs?
It depends on the pack's dimensions. Check that your pack's hydration sleeve is tall enough to accommodate the 2.5L bladder length.
Troubleshooting
Bladder appears to leak after closing.
Ensure no debris is stuck between the magnetic strips and that the strips are fully aligned before letting them snap shut.
Magnetic closure feels weak.
Clean the magnetic tracks with a damp cloth to remove grit or dust that may be preventing a direct contact between the magnets.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Automatic self-sealing magnetic closure
- Completely leakproof and airtight seal
- Tasteless TPU material keeps water fresh
- Wide mouth allows for easy cleaning and maintenance
- One-handed operation via SNAP flap
Cons
- Magnetic seal requires specific alignment to close properly
- Lacks the physical locking sensation of traditional sliders
- Requires careful handling around sensitive electronics due to magnets
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To fill the bladder, hold the two ends of the magnetic seal and pull them apart to open the wide mouth. After filling, guide the magnetic strips toward each other; they will snap together automatically to form the seal. Ensure the SNAP flap is folded over and clicked into place to prevent accidental opening. When cleaning, rinse the bladder with warm water and mild soap, then keep it open to air dry completely. Avoid using sharp objects that could puncture the TPU membrane. Note that the strong magnets may affect magnetic compasses or credit cards, so pack the bladder away from your navigation tools and wallet in your pack.
