Camelbak Antidote Bladder - Pictures only so far.

Hello everyone,

I got my new Camelbak Antidote Bladder today in the mail. Going to do some testing and usage and report back later.
There wasn't any review of a hydration bladder so I though we could use one.

More details will follow in a little while. I'm just busy busting my ass studying for my exams.
Stay tuned for fullreview. Here are some pictures for now.

I got this off of Ebay for 30 bucks shipped. Not too bad considering many sellers want at least 40 for it + an outragous amount for shipping a item that weight less than 200 grams, ah well sucks to be them.

The seller is: o.n.b

Here is the listing if you want. He only has 9 left he had 30 a week ago so they are going quickly. He was pretty good, and deserves the sales, he responded to emails within minutes, gave me a traceable shipping method, and a nice little shell key chain for free.


Here is a link to a bite valve cover, it was fairly reasonable I guess.

Come with Bladder detachable tube, and a key chain from the Ebay seller.


Bite valve should come sealed in a plastic clam shell.


Free keychain from Ebay seller, that was nice of him.


This could look a little naughty, but you wouldnt want to stick anything in there. Reminds me of a scene from south park "the female galgameck vagina is 3 feed wide and lined with razor sharp teeth. Do you REALLY expect us to have sex with them??"


Big ass fill hole. If you can guess what watch I am wearing I'd be impressed.


Turn the lock here to open.


Align arrow to 12 o'clock position to close.


This is where the tube plugs into. The yellow clip is spring loaded to secure it and does not leak.


The bite valve has a lock on it. You turn the yellow tab and it closes the valve.


Other end of the tube. Oring sealed.


Nice secure lock. No leaks here.


There are fill lines showing how much water is in the bladder. Ounces on the right, liters on the left.


There are arms that fold out to keep the bladder open to dry.


Big fat kitty cat ruined this picture


Internal baffle to stop water sloshing about. Also keeps it from ballooning out.


Hook to hang in your pack.


Notice how dirty the bite valve is? It gets dirty sooo fast. You will need to spend another 10 bucks on a bite valve cover unless you like dirt and cat hair in your mouth.


Inside my Camelbak, fits like a glove.


Tube is pretty long and goes down quite far.
