Hi
I’ve bought a Palm Extrem EV and I’m really pleased with it. I want to add a hydration bladder – is the Palm 1.5 litre one the recommended one to get in terms of fit, or are there any more available?
Thanks, Peter.

Hi Peter,
Sorry about the delay in getting back to you. Yep, the Palm one fits perfectly.
Glad you like your EV.
Thanks,
Tim

Hello,

I`d like to buy a Palm extrem, can you tell me where I can find it in NY or Orlando?
Thank you

I’m interested in buying the extrem Ba.
Given it is only held on with four plastic clips, does it rely on the chest harness to remain on when under severe load or can the four clips and no zip system support someone’s full body weight by itself?
