The cheapest option I have tried is empty ( or rather emptied ;-) )
bladders from wine boxes, which are surprisingly tough. <snip>

My wife makes up denim covers for these bladders.  They have a zipper on the
back for eventual bladder replacement, a round hole for the bladder neck,
and a large loop for hanging them up.  If you dunk them in the water, the
denim will give you an evaporative cooling effect.  She peddles them to all
my friends for $12, bladder included.  My job is to keep her supplied with
the bladders - a tough job, but somebody has to do it:)
Best, Rob.
