Thanks everyone for the feedback. I find if I dont use powerade I get leg cramps often and will try the rinse out and chuck in the freezer trick next time. Will probably test one of the ebay bladders out.

For cramps, try magnesium tablets. I went onto them daily and cramps disappeared.

+1, these help ward off cramps for me too. I leave a few in the backpack in case I get a cramp although at time out on a trail it is a bit late anyhow :|

So what's with the freezer thing?
Is it to kill any bacterias?....or to cool it down for cold water trailside ?

Great idea. Never thought of that.

I use a bladder from anaconda for $15. The good thing is you can walk into a store and actually see if it fits your bag (they sell 1.5L up to 3L in 500ml increments). Their returns policy is also pretty solid if it comes to that.
