my Hydropak has a tiny nick in the very top of the reservoir pouch about 1cm from the sliding seal which when compressed in a bag, and water is pushed to the top, leaks.

Has anyone had any success fixing / sealing leaks in a Hydropak? If so how did your achieve said fix?

cheers

I've fixed a pinhole leak in a camelback with superglue.

I don't know how I got a pinhole leak in a camelback.

Yep, park glueless patch. Held up for years.

Aqua-seal. Used to fix kitesurfing bladders and very very sticky.

I'd use Aqua-seal (or aqua-sure, same thing). I've successfully fixed kayak airbags and waterproof phone cases which are similar material.

Thanks I'll try one of the above! I've got a new one now but I hate throwing things away so want to repair it as a spare.

The pack was damaged from new, Amazon didn't want to know so I contacted Hydropak on Thursday in the hope they might replace it and lo and behold a new reservoir arrived from France today! Excellent service Hydropak!
