[pct-l] MSR Dromlite bags

[tahoe.cat at verizon.net (Cathy)]

Hi the only reason I stay with the platy is because when it does break
sports chalet replaces it for free. It just happened that I bought that
first. It was very upsetting when it started leaking on the trail and I lost
almost all of my three liters. Good thing for grand kids that carry a lot of
water.    Ground Pounder Bill

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
