    Is not the maintenance (cleaning) of a camelback's bladder a little more involved though?

    It's not too bad, Willtill. They have a really big screw-on cap that makes it easy to spray inside if you need to. And then you can just fill it up with water and a little baking soda and lemon juice and let it sit for 20 minutes. Run the same the solution through the hose, and then hang both to dry.

    Truth be told, other than rinsing them out with warm, soapy water now and again, I've never bothered in about 30 years of using them. There are a few rules with mine, however. 1 - Nothing but water. 2 - Never freeze the water in the bladder (seems to make the insides all nasty). 3 - Drain and air out after each use.
