Review on Enhance Your Hydration Pack with the Mazama Insulated Drink Tube Replacement Set - Universal Kit for Popular Packs! by Bryan Fisher

After snowshoeing last week, we desperately needed an insulated pipe to keep the water from freezing on us. There was no description of the length of the hose but as it is compatible with multiple brands we assumed it would be the same but it is not. The Bad: The tubing is only 28 inches from the wear point and connects to the bladder and mouthpiece. This makes it completely useless when using the canister in your backpack. Attaching the hose to the 100 ounce tank leaves only 12 inches above the top of the tank to pull it out of the pack and lower it to where you want it attached. to the shoulder straps. All other tubes we have in our kits range from 39" to 42". Also the description mentions a magnetic attachment point, not sure what it should be but nothing magnetic here. Pros: The design of the insulated hose is very beautiful, especially the presence of the cap over the bite. If you're outside and it's only 5 degrees outside, this should help keep him warm. The insulating cover is removable, so you don't have to get it wet when cleaning your gear. It comes with a strap buckle to attach to a backpack, haven't tried it yet but looks like it might work well. We were very disappointed that with such a short hose it was really an unusable product for us. as sent. We were glad we could remove the insulating cover so we could close our existing tubes and go out tomorrow. Had we had time before our next trip they would have returned for something with a longer hose that was fully insulated instead of the improvised one we made which leaves the 12 inch hose exposed. Hope it's ok since it's in the box We didn't try to bite off a piece to test the flow but the quality seems decent. The quick assembly feels smooth and works with the camel tank system .
