I’ve got an ancient CamelBak omega 3l reservoir that could probably do with replacement. Any suitable recommendations? As it doesn’t get used for 6 months of the year, easy to dry would good...
The Osprey ones are really good. They use a roll top closure so the whole width of the bag can be accessed for drying.
Is that their own or is it a Hydrapak reservoir?
Think it’’s the hydrapak one. The one that was current this time last year.
The Hydrapak reservoir is great. I’ve had a couple. If you run anything but plain water in your bladder and therefore need to wash and dry the thing from time to time being able to turn it inside out is a massive bonus and the roll top doesn’t leak unless you completely failed to understand how it works! On the other hand, the construction also means it’s old skool and as the water goes down it’ll naturally bulge at the bottom. From a weight distribution POV this is ok, but some don’t like it.
Last I saw, Osprey were using something semi rigid of their own that was quite good too - but that was a while ago.
How well do the Hydrapak reservoirs with internal baffles work?
Mine is like this one:
I think although branded Osprey - it may be made or licensed by Blackburn. Some parts look identical.
