You can also use a "tube" and "bite valve" with the camelbak better bottle, if you prefer bottle and hands free. I have both but don't like the idea of trying to fill the "bladder sack" while inside the pack with my gear.NicoZ said:The advantages of the bladders are you can sip /suck on it hands free....
I much prefer a water bladder because it is so easy to take regular sips rather than gulping water when you're thirsty. Every so often fill it and the tube with water and Milton (used to sterilise baby bottles), leave it overnight and then rinse before filling with fresh water.SYates said:Water bladders and there tubes are also very difficult to keep clean and bacteria grow easily in them. Consider using a PET bottle (soft drink bottle) instead. They are also easier to refill and to see how much water you have left over. SY
