camelbak 100oz reservoir

By Ranked #262 - Water Treatment October 22, 2009

I finally caved and bought my first camelbak about a yr ago. I like it overall but two negatives: it does give the water a funky plasticy taste and this doesn't go away- it's not horrible and I can deal with it. The hangar clip broke the second or third time I used it- the plastic is too thin for the weight of 3L of water. To "fix" it I just drilled a hole in the remaining plastic and used a wire tie which works fine. And of course they're not usable in colder temps as the hose will freeze up.

Plastic taste does go away if you use it long enough or fill it flush it a few time. You can get an insulating tube to go over the drinking tube might help with temperatures close to freezing,
