Camelbak new bladder

[Catrin]

I purchased this in the spring, so neither are new and have been well used. I think I will make certain it is perfectly dry and conduct a few tests. I did have more ice in it than normal as it was so hot and humid yesterday morning. That might be all it is. It was also my longest road ride since July - my weekend rides in August were pretty much all on the mountain bike and while they were as long (time wise) or longer, of course I am not in the direct sun when riding in the woods.

The bottom of the pack is starting to look pretty bad from being wet so often, but I don't care about that. I really LIKE the pack, more than the bladder. I've given up on my small Camelbak, I just don't drink enough with that one and it causes nerve compression in my arm - which considering it is half the size of my other one is kind of odd. Obviously a different design...
