[Closed] Best fix for Camelbak bladder leak.

[#1065107]

Thought I'd seen a recent thread about this but couldn't find one. Heading off to Afan on Saturday morning I filled my Camelbak 3L bladder, only to notice my pack getting wetter and wetter at the bottome. Small nick at the very bottom meant I had to use another (useless) generic one. Any good tips on repairing? Puncture repair patch; superglue? BTW, can't find receipt (bought ages ago anyway) so can't be bothered with the hassle of trying to replace under warranty.

Cheers.

could always try sticking a patch on with shoe goo seems to stick anything I've tried it with (shoes, broken garmin mounts, tiles ....)

Lifetime no-leak warranty on Camelbak bladders, just get a new one.

as I demonstrated last week, if you email Zyro (Customer.Services@zyro.co.uk) they can accept the ownership of the bladder as entitlement to warranty support

Thanks all. Just spoken to my friendly LBS and they said they would helop me out. I'll resort to the patch fix if a replacement is not forthcoming.

Same thing happened to one of mine and I just sent it back to Wiggle as the bladder has a lifetime warranty. They sent me a new one no problem.
