I hear stories of that, Mac. But mine is clean as a whistle.

If you keep them clean then no they don't go all manky. Been using them for years mountain biking and never had any issues with them.

I keep mine in the freezer to stop potential build-up of anything.

Perhaps that's why you get separate water bladders? once they get manky you can throw them away?

Mine has all kinds of furry black shit in it. I use baby sterilising tabs to clean it out. |

As to the initial question, I think the biggest problem is bouncing. Make sure you get a running one that you can fasten across the chest and/or wist. A lot of them are for bikers and pedalling doesnt produce as much bounce as running. Once you get the right one they are very comfy and useful. |

These ones Mac edgecastcdn.net Start them young enough and they are so crippled with respiratory disease by the age of 16 that they couldn't impregnate a gnat. |

I've had a camelback for a couple of years and use it a lot for long runs. It's really comfy and has plenty of space for a few bits and pieces. Like Red Squirrel, I put the bladder in the freezer when I'm not using it and it has stayed gremlin free.
