update...frustrated w/ the insulation of the tube

By Ranked #114 - Trail Running Hydration March 5, 2009

don't take the black insulation tube cover off... you'll never get it back on it's frustrating as heck. It seems as though CamelBak has changed the fabric it uses for the tube covers.. it sucks.

Soak everything in water - the sleeve, the tube and probably the bladder too, unless you are good at taking the tube off the bladder. The sleeve will slide on a lot easier when its soaking wet.

Oh and I almost forgot, you could even freeze the tube with some water in it so it becomes rigid. It should make it a lot easier to slip the sleeve back on. And yea, technically you shouldn't leave it in the freeze but once won't hurt...
