Re: TRIPPER PFD, any alternatives?

I got mine direct from Quiver. They had it delivered promptly to Manila. Its best to get the one with the bladder.

Honestly, good as new! Thats for the Mocke though. The bladder had to be replaced after 2 months. Not that its defective, I use hot water to clean it. Not boiling, but it made one of the portions leak. It was tough getting a replacement that fit the size of the pocket. I had to cut the bottom of the bladder pocket to accommodate the 2 liter bag I had (Deuter).

I use the camel bak tube guide, L tube lock and big bite valve with the bladder.

I also had to replace drink bladders periodically until I tried using Miltons baby bottle sterilizer to clean them after use. Baby bottle sterilizers are essentially a bleach that kills off the bacteria that flourish in residual energy drink. I generally leave the solution in the bag overnight just to make sure the it is sterile and find that it complete solves the problem.

Hi Dale,

After that hot water incident, I went back to my old solution of just using baking soda. I mix 3 teaspoons with luke warm water. I just leave it overnight as well.
This also removes taste that usually stays in the bag after putting in juice or a sports drink.

Even easier . . . After training, rinse the bladder with water, roll it up and store it in the freezer until you need it next. Most bags should withstand freezing, thawing cycles though I'm still careful to not torque on the drinking tube or bladder for the first minute or two until it's thawed. This way, you only need to use a bleach/sterilizer/disinfectant solution once a month or so.

Ocean Paddlesports will have Mocke Paddle Jackets with bladders in the USA in next shipment arriving in April.
