& I thought you were on about something serious.

Its my only one and its kaput.... shuffled from this mortal coil.... extinct!!! This parrot is dead! 😉
Sorry not that serious but still a PITA and I cant find ine cheaper than about 25quid

Just buy any old bladder. £25? Must've seen you coming.

Not seen me yet! Have dug out an old camel back one for the moment but prefer the nalgene opening of the osprey ones

I bought a Gelert one from somewhere, Amazon I think. £8 if my memory is still good. Pretty decent, not whiffy as some cheapo ones can be. bite valve is a bit dribbly, but maybe the one off the osprey can be retrofitted.

Man up, you killed it, never had a better drinks bladder than the osprey one. How the hell do you 'melt a hole' in it?

I always flush my bladders out with near boiling water and never had a problem.... freshly boiled water on the other hand, not good....

Ah!

Yep I say cough up for the Osprey one.

I have one and it's a very good design and works really well. Worth £25 in my opinion 8)

I got a spare for £6 from Cotswold rock bottom a while back.

Good call on the cotswold shop but doesn't seem to have any online. Will try giving them a call... however it does look like I will have to pay up eventually
