The winners:
The Geigerrig Hydration Engine http://www.outdoorgearlab.com/Hydration-Bladder-Reviews/Geigerrig-Hydration-Engine – Winner of the Editors' Choice award for 2013. Gear Editor, Chris McNamara states that, "This is the most innovative  and versatile reservoir we tested. It has a variety of interesting uses that we did't expect, thanks to the pressurized system that no other hydration bladders tested offered. It is the only reservoir we tested that also doubles as a sun shower and a way to clean off your dog and sports gear after use. Also, it's one of the easiest bladders to clean. It's a bit more expensive than most other reservoirs but not really, considering how innovative it is."

The CamelBak Antidote Resevoir http://www.outdoorgearlab.com/Hydration-Bladder-Reviews/C... – Winner of the Best Buy award for 2013. This award is given to a product that balances a high score in our tests with a reasonable price. Gear Editor, McNamara states that, "The Antidote wins our Best Buy award because it scored very well, is super simple to fill, is easy to drink from, and is usually the most inexpensive bladder to be found. It's also one of the most durable bladders we tested and comes with a limited lifetime warranty which also enhances its long term value. We highly recommend this bladder if you are on a budget and don't mind a little extra work cleaning (especially if you use sports powders)."

The MSR Dromlite http://www.outdoorgearlab.com/Hydration-Bladder-Reviews/M... – Winner of a Top Pick award for 2013. This award goes to a product that is lightweight, compact, has a high capacity to weight ratio, tons of accessories and is tremendously versatile. As reported by Gear Editor, by Max Neale, "The MSR DromLite is a highly adaptable, exceptionally durable, lightweight water bladder. After nine years of field testing across a multitude of outdoor sports, in a host of different countries, we can confidently state that the DromLite is the single best solution to backcountry water storage we know of. Simply put, this is the author’s number one favorite piece of gear."
