Where do you buy them Bill? I just paid $30 at the Boulder REI for a
new 100 oz bladder.

I use my camel backs (I think we have five of them) for cycling, skiing,
hiking, road trips as well as flying. The drying rack they sell is well
worth the bucks to keep them mold free. Also, after emptying any left
over water, I grab the hose near the bladder and spin vigorously to
force the last of the water to the end (that sounds bad doesn't it?).
Squeeze the bite valve to drain the last of it. No icky green tubing
for a few years now.
