Water Bladders

[Dave L.]

Just trying to figure out which company makes the best water bladder (3L. size)-
I have only owned camel back and a hydro-storm...and the hydro-storm is probably the biggest piece of S*$T I have ever used:mad:
Anyone used Gerber's new hybrid bladder or the tactical tailor model?
Thanks for the advice,
Dave

I had a Blackhawk Predator. It leaked at the filler, and at the nozzle. Its been replaced with a Camelbak Thermobak Omega I got from Giffman. No leaks at all, although I crushed the plastic shut-off valve in the door of a Crown Vic. :(

For camping/"BOB" bags, we have two Camelbak BFM's, a Motherlode, and my little kids each have their own 35oz Jibbers. None of those have leaked either.

Whatever Camelbak you get, make sure it has the newer "Omega" bladder. These have much larger filler holes, which make cleaning much easier. They are also easier to load ice through, and have more ergonomic finger placement.
