never thought i'd be disappointed in them...went to fill it for the first time today because i'm going for a long walk soon, and i noticed two such tiny leaks in them its almost unbelievable...anyone else have one that had this problem? its got one of those lifetime warranties of the manufacturer screwed up, anyone know how their customer service is?

Never had a problem and I've got both a newer 2 liter wide-mouth pak and an old school (over 10 years old) MULE pack neither of which have ever had to be repaired.

mine's never leaked, although mine got plugged up at West Point I think. I can't get any water out of the stupid hose.

I've never had any problems with mine, I love it. Is yours an actual camelback brand or a knockoff?

i had a "Mexican" cheapo take 3 shots to the back from less then 30ft away from a paintball marker and it held up fine... I was actually suprised it didn't burst like a balloon.

I won mine at a paintball tourney. Let's just say, I got my money's worth out of it. Love the thing!
PS: Trick I heard. To keep it clean after use, put a little water in the bladder and store it in the freezer. |

Or you can just throw in some denture cleaning tablets every once and a while and let them sit in a 2/3rd full bladder over night. |

My brother pressurizes his so that he can just open it up without having to suck on it. Never had a problem with it except for that terrible taste. |

If you run a mixture of baking soda and water through it and rinse it thoroughly, the taste goes away. I use mine for backpacking and/or drinking beer, and I've never had a problem. I think you can just buy a replacement bladder for like $5. |
