The bladder in my Thermobak (link: http://shop.camelbak.com/thermobak-3l/d/1144) has gone skunky beyond what I can clean.

Anyone know if the Source bladders will fit? I like the look of their valves.

Don't know about the Thermobak fit,
but The Source valves absolutely suck. They are Awkward to use, and will drain water all over you, when you finally get it open. The cap and cord gets tangled up on everything.

The bladders are great however. I swapped the valve out with the Camelbak valve and everything is good.

Sure does.





Getting it to stay upright- that's the tricky part.

@IronBalaclava, the straight valves that are used on all of the military style camelbaks are near impossible to use when wearing a paintball mask. The commercial camelbaks (minus the ones with the dust cover) that have a 90 degree bend in the bite valve work pretty well, so I'm hoping the Source valves will work similiarly well.

@sic_ness, thanks for the pictures.

@raf, I'm pretty sure I can secure the bladder with paracord at the top. There's D-rings at the top of the shoulder straps (with a pass through from the bladder compartment to the shoulder straps for a hose) that I think will work.

I've been nothing but satisfied with my Source Bladders
