| I use this product with a 6L Dromedary bag. The flow is good. I use a SteriPen to purify water and appreciate the clear tube, which allows me to see what's coming so I don't get caught off guard. The tube routing clip looks cheesy but it has muscle, it takes a real snag to pull it away from its station. I have several friends who use these and have never heard of one breaking or leaking. One friend has a sort of green stain growing in his from leaving water in it during storage. He can't seem to scrub it out but it doesn't seem to phase him either. The tube is long enough and even though I loop it once inside the bag to minimize slack over my shoulder it has never kinked up on me. The bite valve just "feels" way better in my mouth than the CamelBak bite valves. It is hard to describe. I don't see it mentioned in specs, but you can twist the bite valve to turn off the water supply which is nice. When I disconnect the product from my bag and use the regular 3-in-1 cap (at camp and for cooking) I turn off the bite valve with a twist and water does not backflow which prevents leaking of the residual water from the tube into my bag. I pack a very heavy bag (41 lbs without water) in cold weather and have had no problems with damage or leaks because of pressure on the bag. Solid 4-star product (Great product). I reserve 5-star ratings uniquely impressive innovations. | |

"Hydration Pack Hose" | |

| One thing you have to realize is that you are transforming a dromedary bag into a hydration system. Because of this, the drinking tube's connection on the bag's screw-on lid is not as streamlined as say a camelbak or other hydration bag where the drinking tube is mounted on the bag itself. | |

| Perfect accessoiry for the dromedary bag - makes life a lot easier - now you can put the bag into your backpack e.g. and still drink...a bit pricy however i think...but well there's no choice unfortunatelly...$15 would have been perfect;) | |

| Used this for a dromedary to go on a 6 mile day hiike within the week that I got it and it worked great. Has basically the same mouth piece and any platypus. Awesome attachment for a dromedary. | |

| MSR Dromedary and DromLite bags are the swiss army knives of the hydration world. That being said, the Hydration kit makes the bag even more valuable. Add the shower attachment the bag is indispensable. | |

| This hose kit converts your Dromedary bag into a hydration bladder quite well. No leaks, good length of hose and minimal taste make for a good hose. | |

Great idea, needs some work | |

| I used a 4L dromedary to carry purified water while traveling in South America for a year, and I used this kit to avoid packing an extra bladder for hiking. It's a great idea, but the design needs some serious work. The bite valve is difficult to use. The attachment method is bulky and makes the assembly tough to pack around. Plus, the valve attachment is so far from the bottom of the bladder that it leaves behind a good 1/2 liter of water that you can't get to. Seals are flimsy at best - I had to use plumbers tape on mine for most of the year to keep it from leaking. I liked the idea of saving space and streamlining my water gear, but this kit was a bit too faulty to make it worth the trouble. Save yourself a headache and go with a standard bladder. | |

| The connection to the bag is strong, but sticks out too far for comfort. I wont be surprised when this snaps off or wears a hole in a food bag or something. The reason for my review is the leaky mouth valve, even when "locked" closed it will continue to leak around each part of the valve. This is also the most rubbery taste I have experienced including drinking out of a garden hose. I highly recommend getting a Camelbak mouth piece to replace this. You will need to keep the MSR tubing but the mouth piece can be taken off and replaced. Again a huge improvement and takes away all that rubber taste. And weird feel of the valve in your mouth. I do love the MSR water bags though, and would highly recomend them. They hang well in an internal frame bag. | |

| If you enjoy a hydration hose that looks great and is guaranteed to drip all over you on the trail, this is the one for you! I had constant drippage along the right side of my body while on a Grand Canyon hike. I looked like an incontinent hiker. It leaked from where the hose is connected to the mouth piece. I returned it for a new one and that one failed too. If you must use MSR, stick with their other hose which hasn't leaked one me. This thing needs to go back to the drawing board. | |

An OK product, with a few caveats | |
| Rating: |  |
| I picked this up to go with a 6 liter MSR dromedary bag I intended to keep in the main compartment of my backpack. On the plus side, the bite valve was easy to operate and the water came out without any strange tastes. On the down side, the hose connection near the mouthpiece kept leaking in minute amounts. It was not a fast leak or anything, maybe a drop every few minutes when the bag was under pressure in my pack (from other things pressing on it). I fiddled with it a bit, but I'm not sure if it will continue to be a problem. To temporarily alleviate this I just blew a small amount of air in after taking a drink, so that water was not at that part in the hose. Additionally, I feel that the hose could stand to be a few inches longer (3-5"). The problem I had with using this with a big dromedary bag in a large pack is that the lid end of the bag had to be near the top in order for me to route the hose around to the front with a suitable amount of slack. This is all well and good until you start to go below 25% on your water supply. At that point the bag is mostly collapsed and sucking water through the tube becomes almost impossible. This requires you to take a break, and move the bag around so that the water is accessible to the opening. In summary, if the hose were slightly longer, I could just put the bag in with the opening-end down from the beginning, and not mess with reorganizing the pack later. | |
