 Works but... July 30, 2010

I bought this product to use in the summer to keep my water cool and it did a good job. The problem I had that I wanted to caution others about is a design issue. I didn't like the cover that goes over the bite valve. It is much larger than I imagined and was less convenient than the normal valve design (I understand the reason for it, just saying I don't care for it). Because it's less convenient, I found that I was drinking much less frequently than I normally would and was concerned that I was more likely to become dehydrated. This may not be an issue for others, but it's one I had and hadn't considered before buying.

Getting this thing onto my existing bladder was quite the undertaking. After fighting with it for about 30 minutes I finally got it on. Hint: hot water soak the ends of the hose before trying to get it onto the barbs on the bladder.
Well worth the effort though.

This product does freeze up, even when the temps are in the teens and low 20s. Based on their advertising, this shouldn't happen. Since the only way to keep the hose from freezing up is to constantly blow out the hose, you might as well just use the hose that came with the original bladder.
I ski in Colorado, and frequently this thing freezes up. It was money NOT well spent, for sure. The ad states it is for use in extreme winter conditions. I wonder what "extreme" means; certainly, any temperature below 32 degrees is not extreme, yet the hose will freeze in mildly freezing conditions. When skiing, the last thing I want to have to think about is whether I will be able to hydrate when I want to. Just a pitiful product.

Purchasing the Thermal Kit helps keep all of my water at the same temp, no more warm water in the tube after first use. Worth the money if used in both hot and cold weather. Prevents water from freezing if used in cold weather, like winters in Wisconsin. Protective bit valve is nice to have and keeps dirt out of valve.

I have this tube kit and I use it year round. It keeps the water liquid in winter, and cooler in summer. An added bonus is that it also protects the tube and bite valve. An added plus is that it is all black so it camouflages the tube a bit if you need or are into that kind of thing.
Someone mentioned that they had problems taking the tube on and off their bladder for cleaning. I used to have that problem too, but I now follow camelbak's instructions and I use hot water whenever I take the tube off or put it on, it is a huge help! Just run hot water over the joint you are trying to disassemble for about a minute and presto it just slides apart.
