CamelBak Thermal Control Kit

CamelBak Thermal Control Kit description

Converts your CamelBak for extreme conditions to avoid freezing in the winter and heating in the summer. Includes standard Bite Valve mouthpiece, Bite Valve cover, insulated tube cover and 46-inch delivery tube.

Old one broke after much use. Im replacing it because it works good,(not great) in those cold and damp Northeast winter days.

While I've never used the normal tube, I find every first mouthful hot. Maybe this thing is more suited to cold weather use; i.e. not freezing. Once you clear the tube the ice you filled your pack with before putting in water has the water ice cold all day, while still melting quickly enough to never run out of water. I work in ninety+ weather, so it may be that I'm expecting too much. But for twenty bucks I wish that I had bought a cleaning kit instead.

This is a must have for the long days on the slopes. As CamelBak says, hydrate or die!!! One thing, don't leave water in the mouth piece. It will freeze and then you can't get anything out.
