Hands-free hydration system; lighter-weight, lower-priced bags.

February 1999

Water is heavy. No one can do much about that. But with Mountain Safety Research’s new line of collapsible water carriers and hands-free hydration systems, carrying and accessing the fluids you need is easier than ever.

DromLite Bags™ . A streamlined, lower-priced version of the popular Dromedary collapsible water container. Made from 200-denier nylon coated with polyurethane and 30% lighter than MSR’s Deluxe Dromedary bags, the DromLite takes minimal pack space and won’t leak or burst under impact or pressure, unlike popular plastic models. Choose the 2-liter ($14.95) or 4-liter ($16.95), and know your water will end up inside of you and not in your pack.

Hydromedary™ Systems. Want drink-as-you-go convenience? The Hydromedary System features MSR’s fast-flow, leak-proof Bullet Bite Valve and 40-inch flexible drinking tube. Now you can upgrade your current hydration system with nylon bags that are more impact resistant and durable than collapsible plastic bottles. Choose between a slender, lightweight 2-liter bag that fits into any 2-liter hydration pack ($25.95) on the market or the boxy, 2.5-liter model ($27.95) that fits hydration pockets and top panels on most backpacks. Either way, you get a bag made from the same sturdy materials as the DromLite. Grommets and webbing make it easy to carry the bags from stream to camp.

Bullet™ Bite Valve ($6.95). A high-flow valve that gives you fluids fast – up to two liters a minute – and never leaks a drop. Use it with MSR products or upgrade your current hydration system – it fits all standard drinking tubes.

Dromedary Hydration Kit ($12.95). Add drink-as-you-go convenience to any MSR Dromedary or DromLite bag. Includes the Bullet Bite Valve, 40-inch PVC tubing that stays soft and flexible regardless of temperature, a custom hydration cap, and a synthetic rubber lanyard to keep it all handy. MSR’s hydration products are made with the highest attention to quality and function. MSR is well-known in the outdoor market for its commitment to innovation, quality and integrity.
