This thing is small, packs down nicely, and does the job. I only wish they made them bigger!

I bought the 6L version of this bag, and it's great. It's really, really durable while still being light and manageable. It folds up small for when it's not being used, and the grommet at the top is great for enabling you to hang it from stuff. Good buy for sure.

I like it. You need a wide mouth on water containers and it's pointless to have a container that doesn't fold up. Other designs don't cut it. I added a hydration hose from MSR. Also superior design.

Here's a repair tip: if you poke or rub a small hole in the bag, use McNett seam sealer to plug. Our Dromedary is close to ten years old now and going strong. This is a good investment.

The 6 liter bag is good for extended trips where water is sparse. It's easy to fill right from the river and add a water purifier. It’s great for hanging in a tree for a shower or to wash hands before cooking. The only downfall is that carrying six liters of water is pretty dern heavy.

Drop it, sit on it, pull on it, run it over with a car...(yes it's been done) and it's not going to break. Very versatile bag since you can run several types of attachments through it for various needs. Run a rope through the eye hole on the top and hang it for use in camp, or use the drinking tube for use on a hike. Stores nicely in a backpack for back country outings and very easy to fill and clean. No nasty, stale, toxic, plastic, chemical taste whatsoever! Literally, indestructible.

Sometimes it is better to get your hands on something first rather than buy it just by the description and picture. Kloogy would be the best word for this bag. It neither is easy to fill nor easy to empty nor easy to dry (inside or out - the outside material doesn't shed water as I expected - it actually absorbs it and it is extremely difficult to dry) and the huge cap/cover makes it difficult to load into your backpack water sleeve. It retains no shape unless it’s completely full. It is only good for using with your MSR filter screwed into it. I was disappointed in the design and material. If you use it only with your filter, fill it all the way, and never get the outside wet, it is a decent piece of equipment.

I have yet to find a water-storage device that is as tough as the Dromlite is for its weight. I primarily utilize the Dromlites in drip-filter systems and water storage for groups (>4). But they have been used as pillows, shelter anchors, cold (ice) packs and ballast without spring a leak. A couple of times they have served well as hydration bladders though that is not what they were designed for and are not as good as Camelbak or Platypus bladders. The new handle design makes filling and cleaning much easier than previous versions. IMO, its biggest shortcoming is its rather absorbent outer fabric.

It seemed the right time to go lighter on a few standard items in my backpack, so I ordered a 4 liter MSR Dromlite Bag to replace my standard blue 4 liter MSR Dromedary Bag. Lo and behold, when I weighed the two sans caps & hoses, I found that my older bag was .65 ounces lighter. I'm guessing that the addition of the "low-profile handle" to the Dromlite adds weight.While the weight differential is minimal, it wasn't worth it to me to shell out $26 or so for a new bag. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the MSR hydration system and always carry an extra bite valve just in case.

The Dromlite has tough enough material to keep you from worrying about where you set it down or about anything else in your pack potentially puncturing it. It is easy to use and best of all, when your done using it, it flattens down to almost zero volume for the return trip back. It is easy to clean and dry. Make sure to swish some soapy water around and rinse before using. There's a little bit of a subtle new plastic taste upon first use. So I'd rinse it out and use it once before you head out in the field then you should be good.

This thing seems to be holding up to some pretty rough use. Like the little spout but think I need to get a hose for it. Not the best for hanging on the outside of a pack needs more grommets.
