Dromedary 10L Bag

We had to rinse a bunch of times to reduce taste, added a touch of vinegar, and after a number of times it actually is pretty solid, we used it to carry water on a 3 day backpack trip. If I could have I would have gotten a carabiner on each grommet and probably put my own string through those and hooked it to my bag. When full the 6L size was a little snug but eventually fit into the top bag compartment of my backpack. I did have it leak once but I think that was because somehow the little valve got pulled up on something. I took note of this going forward and just made sure I knew how I was positioning the top of the bag. On the trip though no leaks and it was fine and worked well and can even handle boiling water in the winter and stuff. We carried water in this and in smart water bottles which are each a liter. We filled the smart bottles from this dromedary bag. They where just lighter being 1/6th the size to use and maneuver. Plus they acted like a decent measure of how much water was left in the bag as if we used 3 of those bottles we knew there was 3 liters left. Otherwise this was good and to clean we just washed with soap and stick a paper towel roll into it to keep it open and let it try, you can even clip the cap to the string around it to keep it all together while drying. Quite good.

I had owned one of these previously during a seasonal NPS Summer/Fall work session doing trail construction in the American Southwest, and recently had an upcoming multi-day backcountry hike where I would need to supply water for myself and others, and this was exactly what I came back to because of the rugged durability I knew this dromedary could handle - I have used this as a pillow, solar shower, sat it on jagged volcanic rocks, scraped it on trees/branches, and have never had it leak once, at camp or in my pack. I have never had any sort of a plastic/rubber taste in either that I have owned, and the ability to convert it into a hydration bladder with a hose kit (albeit an obnoxiously large and heavy hydration bladder) was the cherry on top of it all. The stock lid that it comes with does have two spouts for various flows, but I personally use the MSR hydration conversion kit to attach a tube for pack carrying/drinking. Overall a great versatile piece of hydration equipment if you need a lot of water in remote environments, or if you need to carry hydration for others.

I have been burned by bladders in the past, but these things are actually good enough to be your primary water reservoir. They stand up to treatment that goes beyond "harsh" and strays into "abusive" without issue (e.g. being stuffed, full, into the bottom of a voyageur pack and then slung onto rocks and into canoes with heavy stuff bouncing on top of them). I assume that running over one or shooting it would puncture it, but I don't plan to test either theory so YMMV. Only critique is that the intermediate pour spout lanyard is too short and makes closing the pour spout a pain.

I have purchased and acquired a lot of gear through my time in the US Marine Corps, specifically for training operations and deployments. This is by far one of my top purchases / acquisitions I made. Among the things I have noted about the MSR Dromedary, these are the biggest strengths. Durability- By far the biggest selling point for me. The Camelbak bladders I used to use had no reinforcement, and would pop under a little bit of weight. That is a major issue when you consider the bladder is in a rucksack packed for an operation. The Dromedary, on the other hand, is reinforced and is near impossible to pop (from my experience). Capacity- The Dromedary has a variety of sizes, I have the 4L. That gave me 33 percent more water than my old water bladder while still fitting into my bladder pouch on my pack (although it is a tight fit when full). Water Flow & Leakage- I not noted any leakage aside from minor leaking at times if I do not tighten the screw cap on all the way. Water flow from the hose (from the conversion kit) is perfect. I haven't had issues with it getting kinked or knotted much, which would reduce or stop water flow. Straps- The Dromedary has heavy duty straps that outline its edges, which I have used to be able to secure it into packs and pouches in multiple fashions. Overall, this is one of my favorite purchases I have made as far as my gear goes. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a water bladder with a little extra durability.

Rinsed it out twice. Filled it and hung it up on the back patio for over a week, (limited sun exposure.) No leaks and the water taste has not changed. Terrific! The 3 way fill cap is a nice feature: large for filling, with a handy "grab" handle, middle size for connecting to other devices, hose, filter, etc., and the small flip open dispenser, which allows fairly precise measuring into a cook pot or cup. Seems rugged, but mine is new, no abuse in the woods yet. Hanging in camp may require some inventiveness. I used a stick as a spreader across the "top" of the bag, held in place with some string at each end/corner, and then hanging the stick to a post, tree,et.

When everything works! Its great!! That being said, i ordered two bags and one of them had a leak in the cap on my first trip. The other worked perfectly. They feel durable, secure, and clean. Was sure to rinse out the bag when we received it, and water tasted fine and natural from the bag when we used it. Improvements: There is a wierd thread loop that attaches the pouring cap to the main cap. I am unclear if this is just a part of packaging, or if it is meant to keep the pieces together. But if it is meant to be a feature, i will be removing it. It is too short and makes screwing/unscrewing the cap an annoyance. Lastly, the hanging/carrying strap could be far more taught/secure to the bag. When handling the bag by the strap, it barely holds on while full of water. The whole structure could use a better carrying handle.

Great product. I bought mine because it was endorsed by G. Thumb. I intended to use this as a camelback bladder, but after attempting to use as such in a London Bridge pack, it just didn't feel right. What I did was pulled it out of the pack, and use it as a stand alone item. I ditched the drinking tube. I prefer drinking out of the flip up straw that comes on the standard lid. There is no nasty taste as per some of the reviews. I guess some folks are just sensitive. I left this in my hot truck, and no issues with taste. Again, great as a stand alone item, can be thrown into a pack and used as you would a water bottle. Tough enough to take being rough handled. Great piece of gear!!

With high quality comes a high price which is kind of a bummer but at the same time this thing should last a lifetime, it is very well built

1000Dナイロンの圧倒的強度と、圧倒的軽量性（ナルゲン1.5lと同等で4l）柔軟性を生かしてデットスペースに入れることができること、そして考え込まれキャップによる使い勝手。値段が高いことを除けば最高の山用水筒です。

I love this thing. 10L bag holds more than enough for longer stints away from a water source but small and portable enough when only partially filled. Don’t worry about the taste when you first buy it. I recommend filling it up, leaving it for a day then emptying it, repeat this process up to 5 or so times and the taste goes away.

Forte odeur même après quelques mois d utilisations. Une odeur de plastique que je pensais temporaire au debut mais je pensais que ca allait partir ... Que nenni 😂 Bref c'est quand même super solide et ca fait ce qu'on lui demande !

Ne sent pas aussi mauvais que certains le disent. Meilleur prix trouvé ici. À l'air solide. Pratique, 3 bouchons différents en 1 (gourde, vider ou verser, large pour le remplissage). Sangles utilisables sous tous les angles et solides.

Goede degelijke zak geschikt voor de camping en noodsituaties in de woonomgeving. Past op een van de meest gebruikte waterzuiveringspompen. Dus als de Russen komen!
