So... As I stated I have bladder problems. Specifically my water bladders are as follows
CamelBack Classic // Capacity 70 oz
Wally-World Special // capacity 64 oz
Heres the problems, the camelback has lasted me for 10 years with no issues, it can be used as it's own backpack with the neoprene shell and straps, only a few ounces and it helps keep the water cool for longer, attaches to compression straps because I don't have a sleeve on my backpack. It just recently formed a hole in the top ( near the fill hole) but duct tape seems to be working fine
Wally World special for $8.99 however, as suggested in their instructions to fill a little water and freeze for storage, is already ruined after 2 whole uses... the hose has many cracks I imagine from water expanding in it in the freezer so that is going back to the store.
It's time I get 2 new bladders so I turn to WB for help, I need a Large capacity ( if anyone knows of a 100 oz bladder let me know) because I drink about 80-100 oz of water on a long day. That may seem a lot to some of you but I still usually walk in a little dehydrated and will consume another 40-50 oz before bed. So what are the cheap, large, durable bladders available these days??
