Hydration bladder
well my 100oz Sette brand bladder sprang a leak. Now I'm currently using my 70 oz nalgene bladder in the sette pack. works well, but I want a bigger one..
I found this product.. it's a bladder with some blue ice type stuff made in... anyone ever try one of these? or even have any opinions on the whole idea. I like the detachable hose.

i don't get the chart. is that based on the idea that that specific bladder contains an ice pack? thats why it starts out cooler? if thats the case... you could always just put ice in a camelbak bladder...
-i can see why you like the detachable though... always wished i could take off my camelbak hose, instead of getting a stupid $20brush just to fit in the hose...
plus i like that it comes with the tube insulation, thats like a $10 addition you have to buy for camelbaks... it think it helps... whenever i go to drink after a while, the first few sips are warm(the water in the tube) before i get to the ice water in the bladder...

that chart is pretty funny... I know I keep my room over 90 degrees.. think I may give one of those a try, hopefully I won't be drinking blue gel.

1. If you need "cold" water- ice cubes in Camelbak always works. I put mine in the fridge the night before.
2. Camelbak's are very durable. Used everywhere from MTB to combat in Iraq.
3. Camelbak's have lifetime bladder warranty- if it leaks they replace it.
4. Bladder is a funny word.

I really hate the camelbak products there packs are dadly designed and there badders are not my fav. I may get another nalgene bladder or a hydrapak.
the reason I consider this is my pack sits at my desk for like 8 hours while I work if it will keep it even a little colder for my afterwork ride, it'd be worth a shot.

Just a thought.
