Watering hole

I've been all over the Portland area looking for one.

Eastern Mountain Sports, Maine Mountain Works, L.L. Bean.

No luck.

Seems nobody carries the Platypus hydration system anymore.

Plenty of Camelback stuff, but no Platypus.

What gives?

I've used a Platypus for hiking and backpacking for about eight years now and love it. It's simple, inexpensive, and, until now, the bladders were easily replaced. I can usually patch the occasional pinhole, but my current Platypus has developed a leak at the seam between the screw cap top and the bladder, so it's time to go.

I'd like to buy a new one locally, as opposed to online. Anybody know where I can get one?

Hmm, I've seen them at L.L. Bean. I got mine at the factory store on Congress Street. Not that they'll still have them.

I'll check the trading post in Kittery when I head to MA in a couple of weeks. I thought they carried them there the last I knew.
