Bladder Attachement Strap

[kevindive]

Good morning. I have an older model ranger and a new express tech. I was trying to mount the bladder on the express tech this weekend and I could not do it. It seems the connection points on the bladder (plastic) are smaller the the tri-bars on the bladder attachment straps. The tri-bar is about 4.5cm long and would not fit in the opening of the older ranger bladder. Do you know where I can purchase attachment straps with the smaller tri-bar? I was hoping not to have to take the older straps off the Ranger and flip flop them back and forth.
Thank you very much.

If you have a bladder old enough to have the plastic tri-bars on the inside edge of the horseshoe (where the bladder attaches to the vest) then I believe your bladder may be incompatible with our current hardware. I can see if we still make a bladder attachment strap with the old, smaller tri-bars but no promises. I'll be back to this thread soon.

Could you possibly take a picture of your Ranger's bladder for us? I need to see those plastic buckles to confirm my idea.

EDIT: Ok, looks like we can still make the old bladder attachment strap but we'll have to use the current part number and make special notes for the order. But I'd still like to see a picture of your Ranger and bladder to make sure I'm understanding your request properly.
