I'm looking for a water bladder/reservoir bigger than my 100 oz. Camelbak. I found one bigger:

which is 128 oz.

Is there anything bigger out there? Does anyone else make a big reservoir?
Thanks.

Camelbak has a 200oz bladder and MSR offers 140, 210, and 350oz Dromedary bags.

I need a backpack to fit that in and a Sherpa to carry it...

I can't find the Camelbak in stock, but the 4L/140oz. MSR is the ticket.
Thanks.

Adam,
Are you looking for a big-time workout or just trying to break your back?

Both...

We are going to Israel for a month, where its 95 -110 degrees every day and we are outside all day long. Trying to keep our young kids hydrated is always a challenge and buying big bottles of water gets old.

We went to Orlando last week and I hooked up my backpack with the kids' Camelbak bottles on either side of my pak with small caribeners and they made a game of playing with me by trying to drink from the bottle without me noticing-worked like a charm. :) I had my 100oz. revervoir in my pack.

With a bigger reservoir, I can fill up in the morning and go for the day.

are you making a solo desert crossing?
Not this year.

If a pint is a pound the world around, 200oz of water equals approx. 12.5 pounds.

I just searched the net for a valve type head I use on bottled water, cant find it, but our local bottle water store sell them.

It attaches to the top , there is no pump needed, works on gravity. You just squeeze with you index and thumb and the water pours. No leaks.. Would be great for the set up for the bottle on the bike. No need to move the bottle.
Just aqueeze and you have water
