any easy remedies ? My most used one, a 2l bladder, is around 18 months old and tighter than a tight think to click on and off. Can only assume it's the O-ring on the hose ?
Life time warranty, get a replacement.
Replace if you want, mine is a lot older than yours (7 or 8 years) and everything hardens up
Iainc - I've had this with a 3 min old one. I gave it a really good clean around the seal and it's now absolutely fine t had been awkward since new.
Thanks for info, will try a clean and maybe some Vaseline or similar before warranty
Sounds daft, but I find that water works really well on Camelbak seals. Dunk 'em under the tap for a sec or something and hey presto. (Give everything a clean first obviously.)
Yeah.. Vaseline might taste a bit funny. Unless you're into that sort of thing.
Cheers for ideas, have mailed Wiggle but will experiment 🙂
Little bit of "lickerty spit" FTW
Mine started doing that after a couple of months. Camelbak sent me a new o-ring which seemed to help.
To be honest I usually just leave the quick release hose on all the time and keep the bladder in the freezer between uses.
+1s for splas some water on it or lick it. I had the same problem and the low tech answer does the job.
