5.0 out of 5 stars Gotta have one in the winter, November 24, 2007

If you play in the snow and ice...you need one of these. For ~$12 it's hard to pass up. While there is no hydration system that does not have issues of freezing up (I don't care if you keep a nalgene buried deep in your pack surrounded by hot packs - eventually it will freeze up), this is a great first line of defense. I'm on a mountain search and rescue team and got this for winter/avalanche season.

One tip...try blowing the water in the tube back into the reservoir after you drink...keeping the bite valve free of water (and thereby water to freeze) will help a lot.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cold in Summer, not frozen in Winter., September 28, 2009

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars pain to put on but worth it, March 3, 2010

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.
