Managed to snag a good deal on an EVOC pack around Black Friday but it doesn't come with a bladder. Just curious to see if folk are mainly sticking with the EVOC branded bladders or using all sorts? Any that don't work well with these packs for any reason?
Camelbak in mine.
Camelbak +1
I've got out of the habit of using mine in my Enduro Blackline but it's in the freezer ready.
I normally chuck a bottle in these days.
I use a Hydrapak one which has an insulated hose..Can't beat an insulated hose in hotter climates.
I paid about £120 for my pack. Pretty shocking that it didn't include a bladder for that, but I still bought it. 😕
Aren’t the evoc ones just branded hydrapack ones?
Could be aye but look like the closure and valve are different I think.
Camelbak in all of mine..
Camelbak in mine too. Never thought to try another brand just took the bladder from my old camelbak pack.
Expensice but great bags.
Just got a cheap mountain warehouse one in mine
I use a deuter bladder
I use my osprey bladder in mine
I've taken to using an Osprey one on mine, as they have a semi rigid back which makes it a bit easier to slide into the pocket not quite as 'wet salmon wrestling' as the Camelbak bladder I was using.
I just use a Source bladder in mine.

Yes, they are.

Yes it is a hydrapak. personally I find them easier to live with than a CamelBak, although the bite valve is a bit crap, but that'only a few quid to replace with a CamelBak version

Camelbak too. I think they're the best bladders
Be careful which one you order, the newest ones have a slightly different shape and don't fit the sling as well. The Antidote is the narrower one, the Crux is the wider one
Evoc. Can turn them inside out for a good wash and I prefer the bite valve.
Decathlon. I don't think there's any 'normal' bladder which won't fit so it's just how much you want to spend on a plastic bag.
Camelbak.
