Source Launches New Bladders

Brand new from hydration specialists, Source, is the WXP Bladder which combines both a wide and screw-top opening for maximum versatility.

Up till now, you've had a choice of the wide-top opening found on the Widepac bladders which is great for cleaning the bladder, but a tad fiddly for filling, and the  screw-top opening on the Clear series, which is fine for filling from taps, but more problematic to clean.

Best Of Both Worlds

The WXP gets both the neat fold-over wide-top opening and a screw-top with handle meaning you get the best of both worlds. The bladder - available in two-litre and three-litre versions - also features Source's Grunge Guard anti-microbial technology and Glass-like inner liner which is reckoned to be 1000% smoother than that of competitors using PU films with only a 50% difference from glass itself and prevents 'bio-film build-up'.

No Mouldy Bladders Here

The Source Widepac is out current bladder of choice here on OM, it's easy to fill and clean and incredibly resistant to both tainting and mould formation, even when thoroughly neglected. The new version looks even more versatile and we're looking forward to testing it.

The new WXP Bladders retail for £19.99 in the two-litre size and £21.99 for the three-litre version.
