decent product....just blow water out of tube!
Trip R.: 
blowing the water out of the tube is by far the best way to go. I had problems with freezing even with this kit. on't get me wrong, it helped....blowing the tube clear works every time. If you are lugging a heavy pack on snowshoes in freezing conditions with only frozen water you are not happy.
Big Bite = Big Gulp
Heidi from the Hills: 
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.
Easy tips
SpecTec7248: 
OK...when it's hot out and you want cold water, simply fill reservoir 1/2 full and place in freezer overnight with fill cap facing up. Top off with water before you leave and viola!, cold water all day long. In winter I add a disposable heat pack between the reservoir and insulating bag. This keeps the water luke warm, which is much easier on the mouth in cold temps.If it's really cold out, I'll rubber band a heat pack on the tube right by the bite valve so I don't have to clear the tube after every use.
Love it- Highly recommended

Bought it for winter xcountry ski tour- and it worked just as it said. The other folks with me were struggling with frozen water in their tubes and nalgenes, and minus one little slurp of half frozen water, it flowed perfectly. I highly recommend it.

Product keeps water in the tube as cold as the water in the bladder. First drink is as good as the last!
