Hydration Bladders

[glockman19]

I'm testing out three...

1) Osprey 3L
2) Camelback Antidote 3L
3) Camelback Omega 3L

With a Kelty Redwing 50, I'd like to also find a smaller day pack that will accommodate a 100oz. 3L bladder.

What hydration bladder do you use and what pack do you have it paired with?

Geigerrig with a condor pack, I got tired of leaks and bad seals, plus the geigerrig can be pressurized so you can clean hands or wounds and give my dog a drink

I still have an old 2L Platypus similar to this:

Before my backpacking trip this summer, I may have to get another, but this has lasted years and many miles.

I have an old REI daypack with padded hipbelt (can't find a name, sorry) with the bladder pocket vertically down the middle of the pack. OK for an easy to moderate day hike.

GHB = Kelty Redwing 50 + Platypus Hoser 3.0
Hunting = Kuiu Ultra 6000 + Platypus Hoser 3.0

I've got a couple of Geigerrig bladders I use. They are pretty hard to destroy. The ability to pressurize them is a great Idea. I hooked up Sawyer mini filters in line to mine.

Hydrapak --they are the oe to Osprey Packs easier to clean and less likely to get funky also nicer bite valves

The Platypus bladders are bullet proof. Also, if you are still looking for a smaller day pack that accommodates a 3l you should take a look at the Kuiu Icon 1850 or the ultra 1800.

I'm running 2 4l MSR Dromlite bags http://www.cascadedesigns.com/msr/wa...e-bags/product
and a Kifaru duplex timberline 2

Its better to have the ability to have more water than not enough.

Great bladders have one but don't use it any more though. Easy to clean and can put large chunks of ice in it if you choose. Never had any smell issues either.

I use Geigerrig hydration bladder. It's pressurized so it's very easy to drink water when you need it.

I use a 3L Osprey bladder with a Osprey Stratos 24L day pack. A pretty good combo for the day hikes I've been on (up to 20 miles).
