Sent our Camelbaks back...bummer

I have a Camelback transalp, have had it for about a year and on my last hike, Saturday, it leaked. I haven't looked at really to find out where but I was a bit frustrated. I do figure that a year with no problems is pretty good.

I have a Camelbak mule (100 oz.) for about a month now, no problems so far. I also have a Blackburn 70 oz. and I keep both bladders in the fridge.

I have three camelbaks and have found they can leak around the screw in cap if it's not tightened enough....and also if it's over tightened! Once it's filled and capped, I put almost all my weight on it and make necessary adjustments to stop any leakage. Once I learned that trick I had no more leak problems.
