It leaks...

By jpk4599250 Ranked #132 - Water Reservoirs July 26, 2011

I bought this to use on long distance backpacking trips. I purchased the 4 L version. I arrived at the trailhead of Mt Whitney and put about 3 L of water in it and place it inside my pack. Within 200 feet of hiking, my partner notices water dripping on the bottom of my pack. I removed the MSR bag and screwed the lid off and back on. It did the same thing again and I had to remove the bag and strap it to the top of my pack where I finally positioned it to where it stopped leaking. It still occasionally leaks around the screw on cap, while just sitting on the ground! I've read numerous similar reviews. Sort of sucks it doesn't come with the hydration hose and you have to pay $20.00 extra for that. I'm a little disappointed, MSR.

It only gets two stars because it is very durable.

Edit: Let me add, I was using this with the hydration hose. It might have been due to this addition that it leaked. When I find out exactly what the problem is, I will update this.
