CamelBak Thermal Control Kit

CamelBak Thermal Control Kit description

Converts your CamelBak for extreme conditions to avoid freezing in the winter and heating in the summer. Includes standard Bite Valve mouthpiece, Bite Valve cover, insulated tube cover and 46-inch delivery tube.

The thermal control kit cap piece is too big to fit through CamelBak's (yes, CamelBak) shoulder loops. This makes it impossible to easily remove the bladder/hose from the pack to wash/fill.Not recommended.

The most annoying thing about any Camelback is when you are really thirsty and you take that first big gulp of water and... gross! It's luke warm. The Thermal Kit solves all that. It keeps the hot, hot and the cold, cold. The cap on the end also helps keep the mouthpiece clean and free of debris. Everyone who owns a Camelbak should also get the Thermal Kit.

While I've never used the normal tube, I find every first mouthful hot. Maybe this thing is more suited to cold weather use; i.e. not freezing. Once you clear the tube the ice you filled your pack with before putting in water has the water ice cold all day, while still melting quickly enough to never run out of water. I work in ninety+ weather, so it may be that I'm expecting too much. But for twenty bucks I wish that I had bought a cleaning kit instead.
