G'day Kirsty,

Cleaning them can be a bit tricky sometimes!!
You can find hydration bladder cleaning kits here.  Alternatively, you can just use a standard bottle brush, or abit of dish liquid and warm water with rock salt in it for abrasive purposes on the bladder. The straw is bit trickier, I've heard of people using a small bit of sponge tied to a string that they just pull through the tube.
Hope that helps.

G'day Karl,

I've just given this a whirl and I can confirm that the Blackwolf 2L Tanker Hydration Bladder will fit in the Caribee X-Trek 28L. The Camelbak 2L will also fit. In regard to the clip issues, the only issues we've seen are the ones listed on the reviews, all of which have been addressed under warranty.

G'day Marie, 

I've just popped a 2L tank bladder into the day pack that comes with the Cedar Breaks, and the 2L tank bladder fits perfectly. 

G'day Patrick,

We've checked with our resident experts and the conclusion is we think you'll need to make sure the water cools down before you pour it into a bladder. It could be put in the Bladder warm, so we'd suggest leaving for at least half an hour before you pour the water in to the bladder. 

G'day Bruce,

I wish I had another answer for you but no, there really isn't any way to repair the bladder.  Sorry mate!

G'day Ray,

Without having one here to try it on, I'm pretty confident that you'll be able to fit a 2 Litre Black Wolf Tank Hydration Bladder into your Wolffe Pack Summit backpack. As for the rating in the snow, they're not insulated like the Camelbak hoses are but in most Australian snow conditions, it wouldn't get cold enough during the day for it to be a worry for you. 

There's no hard and fast rule here Greg. I would think that it makes more sense to have the spine pointing away from your back/toward the inside of the bag. But it could depend on how you are packing your bag, so I'd just go with whatever fits best.

Whilst pack brands place the bladder sleeve down the back of the pack, which is usually the best place for a heavy item like water, there's no harm in placing it elsewhere in the bag. I often lay my water bladder over the top of my bag and secure it with the top flap. That way the water is up high and over my shoulders, and it is easy to access for refills.

G'day Bec,

The Black Wolf 2 Litre Tank Hydration Bladder will fit inside the Black Wolf Crux 40 pack.

G'day Ben,

Due to timeframe and misplacement issues that affected our valued customers, we have decided to no longer deliver with Australia Post. As a result, the only downside is that we, unfortunately, can't deliver to PO Boxes.

G'day Roger,

As you've mentioned, the Black Wolf Cuba is a travelling backpack which means, unfortunately, there is no hydration port in the main pack. The best thing I could recommend is you run the hose out between the zips.

After testing it out with our display stock, while the hose would likely reach your mouth from the day pack, it would be hard to stow the hose when not being used. It's certainly possible (depending on how full your bag is), but not ideal.
