I know that clear colored "skin" on the inner surface of the polyester cloth.
It's a waterproofer that keeps the rain and splash out, and it's more of value on the tackle pockets than in the bladder compartment.
I think it is a urethane solution painted onto the weave.
I wouldn't worry about it myself. I used a tube for at least 5 years after the inside began to peel.
If you want to find a supplier and re-coat it, the people who do awnings and truck covers use it to seal the seams, backpack and carrier bag makers use it to waterproof, and the folding kayak people use to to make their own urethane coated fabric, like the one at www.yostwerks.com
Look up the raw materials pages and you will find it.
