MSR Hydration Kit - For use with any MSR Bag

MSR Hydration Kit - For use with any MSR Bag description

The MSR Hydration Kit converts an MSR Dromedary Bag into a hands-free hydration system. The Hydration kit comes complete with an MSR Bullet Bite Valve, a high-capacity 42-inch taste-free polyethylene-lined drinking tube that resists freezing temperatures, and a custom hydration cap with a 360 degree swivel elbow. MSR hydration systems are now even more versatile, reliable and modular.

I'm not on outdoor enthusiast, I am however a disabled person with limited use of my hands. Having my Camel Pack and the Hydration Kit I ordered has been a life saver for me. This product has allowed me the freedom to take a drink whenever I want, wherever I am without having to depend on anyone helping me. I hang the pack on the back of my wheelchair and away I go. It has definitely increased my level of independence.

I bought this MSR hydration system over the Camel Back version partly because I was so impressed with a friend's MSR tent. I have to say that I loath this hydration system. When used with a backpack it does provide a drink of water just like you would expect. However, anytime it is not being used, such as when your pack is in a vehicle or laying on the ground at camp, it leaks very easily. There is an "off mode" available, but you can't tell if its off or on just by looking at it. When its on, be prepared to have as much as 3 liters of water seep into whatever environment your unattended pack is in. It is absolutely infuriating and especially inconvenient in cold weather. Buy the Camel Back version that does not spew water when you don't want it to.

I do a lot of hiking for work and use it everyday, I had some concerns that it might get caught on branches and cause problems, I work in very dense vegetation and am often pulling myself through. I have been very pleased that it has held up through all the abuse I put it through.
