Just had a bad experience with Vitamin Water; my Camelback turned orange and it won't clean. So what energy drinks do you guys drink that do not color the inside of the backpack?

Thank you!

Why care that your camel back bladder is stained, it's inside your camel back. I'd be more worried about mold, when that starts buy a new bladder.

Energy drinks in water bottles on the bike, water in the camelbak bladder.

Agree totally

orange twist vodka...adds a nice flavour and keeps the bacteria terminated. I mix in a 1:30 ratio (so 1 oz vodka to 30 water).

TRUE..Bikeweiser. I do the same!
Also, I rinse it out, drain out all the old H20 and place it in the frig...stay clean with no mold! IT's OK with the wife.

i don't know if "gatorade" counts as an energy drink but you could try the ice kind it's the same flavor but clear. also i wouldn't put anything but water in there as sugar tends to give new life to camelbakteria
also in the directions of a newly purchased camelbak it says you can you a small amount of bleach to sanitize it . this may also get rid of the color.
or you can just tell your buddies you got a limited edtion colored bladder
whatever happy trails

Try this: www.eletewater.com
An electrolyte that help with cramps. Clear and doesn't stain bladders, has a slight salty/mineral taste. Worked for me.

Vodka

Gin

White Brandy

Everclear

Try Gatorade Ice flavor, it's colorless. However, it does still contain sugar so even though it won't stain, it'll still get sticky if not cleaned out properly.

Like the others said, I would keep energy drinks in bottles on my bike and carry water in my Camelback.
