"CamelBak Thermal Control Kit" - Review of CamelBak Thermal Control Kit

I use my camelbak (2006 Mayhem model)for mountain biking trips in south-central Texas (Blackhawk Hydrastorm for hiking/backpacking). This kit replaced the un-insulated hose that was standard on the Camelbak when I got it. The heavy rubber end cap was cumbersome to use and bulky (distracting to have that hitting your helmet/face on jumps or rapid technical decents) so it has been removed. The neoprene like insulation doesn't do as good of a job keeping the fluid in the line cool as the Blackhawk Hydrastorm system does, but is an improvement over the uninsulated tube. This one probably works best in cold climates rather than the 105 degree summer heat of south Texas. Recommended, but does not work miracles!!
