I bought a Camelback some time ago and the thing leaks like nothing else, no matter what I try. I've talked to others and they all experienced the same problems I have. I'm getting tired of the excess dripping that comes out of the bottom of the unit, even if everything's been checked and rechecked (hoses and other fittings). Has anyone else experienced these problems and is there a quick fix that I can try?

Camelback makes lots of products and they can potentially leak from various places so a little more specificity would help in narrowing down your problem. Replacement components are readily available from Amazon and elsewhere once you determine exactly what part is leaking.

The only time my Camelback leaked it was 5 years old and the seams on the bladder were failing.. Bought a new one problem solved..

New bladder should did it!

You probably aren't leaking from the bottom but are leaking from the top. The most likely spot is the bag's "cap". Either it isn't on properly or an o-ring has deteriorated. Fill the bag, turn it upside down, and squeeze it a little. You'll see where the leak is coming from.

I've had many, many bag and never had one leak from anywhere but the cap. The edge seams are sealed very well and are almost never a problem.

Until they wear out..

I've had my Camelbak for about 5 years and no leaks yet. Check the O-rings and replace if needed.

But they never wear out in my experience. Between me, my wife and two kids, I've had 25 or 30 different Camelbaks since the early 90s. I've never had an edge seam problem and some of those have been in nearly daily use.

Are you sure it's not "sweating"? I've had that happen with mine in the right conditions but never actual leaking.

I've only had one (purchased around '90) and it failed at the edge seam so I replaced the bladder.

Many years ago I bought a Camelback Mule and when I got home filled it with water I realized that it had a defective bladder which was leaking at the bottom seam. I returned it to the store and got a replacement.
I also have a Camelback HAWG which I used a lot and never had any problems. Camelbacks are very well made and it's very rare to have problems with them.

Go to Walmart or Target and look in the outdoor section for bladders; if they have a bladder of a suitable size/shape for your camelbak, it will be cheap enough to test as a replacement, probably around $5 as compared to what, $20-30 for a branded replacement?

You've apparently never had one fail where the hose is fitted over the stem at the base of the bladder. Got a lot of mileage out of a few bladders running around with the Marines - while not common, it can happen with high-mileage bladders.

Try emailing Camelback. I ran over mine with my truck and ended up breaking a couple of the buckles. I emailed Camelback, told them what I did and they sent me a set of new buckles no charge.

No feedback from Colorado Kid so who knows what the problem was.

I just got one and thought I might pressure rize it with some rubber bands.

It seems to leaking from the bottom. Tried checking the hose fitting and everything else but still the same problem keep coming back. Sorry I did not respond earlier. It's been crazy here.
