>>Question for everyone out there concerning hydration systems:
>>
>>It seems that everyone loves camelback / platypus style bags, but
>>aknowledges that they are fairly weak and wear out pretty quick. At
>>least that's what I get out of reading journals and a few first hand
>>accounts.
>>
>>The MSR Dromlite bags seem notorious for being twenty shades of
>>indestructable, and have a kit that converts them to hydration systems
>>(tube and a bite valve). I've heard several people who have dirven
>>their cars over dromlite bags (when the bags are full of water),
>>dragged them behind cars by ropes, frozen them, and thrown them off
>>buildings, all without bursting or tearing.
>>
>>So I'm just wondering if anyone has any experience with the 4 litre
>>Dromlite bag and hydration kit, or perhaps opinions about it? Seems
>>like a sound upgrade to the platypus bladder.

>I used a 2 liter on my AT thru attempt in 01. I would highly recomend them as hydration bags. held up extremely well. I killed a camelback before  Damascus and replaced it with the MSR Dromlight. Only one small problem I had was the bite valve kept leaking. I just replaced it with a bite valve from a camelback. I used the PuR Hiker filter (now Kataydin) so I couldn't take advantage of screwing my filter on to the bag. All I did was get a 1 female and 2 male quick disconect fittings. Put 1 male and 1 female inline one the line coming off thje domlight and 1 male on the output hose of my filter. That set-up worked great. Again I highly recommend the Domlights
