You didn't mention where you are. Elverys sells a 1.5l for around €35, IIRC.
Wheelworx has a decent selection of camelbaks.

On a related note folks ...
I'm looking at inov-8 bags on wiggle but am struggle to work out whether I want a 10/15/20L bag without actually seeing them.
Is there somewhere is Dublin city centre that stocks them?

Cheers

Sorry, I'm in Dublin but will be heading to Donegal tomorrow for GFW, I was planning on taking a detour via belfast for http://www.decathlon.co.uk/EN/hydration-pack-3-black-blue-175229425/

Company car so the cost of the extra 45 mins or so driving isnt a concern.

On yet another side note but related topic how do people find camelbak's when out on runs, I tend do run in the countryside with no shops around and driving out to drop water isn't always something I can do.

I was looking at a 2l one which is (something like the below picture), how do people find them when running as I've only ever used them cycling and hill walking before (one's that fit into existing packs/bags)

Just remember these things need to be rinsed out several times before use. Not sure when you're event is, but might be better off picking one up as soon as possible and cleaning it out/trying it out on an easy run.

Don't let your race be the first time you try out new gear!
