However, cleaning the thing was a real bear, and eventually got a bit tedious to follow the directions and I chucked it (wasn't as costly as the recent incarnations). I was babysitting a friends store last summer and recieved a call from the Gaia rep about a shipment. I thought it was an oppurtune time to give a personal critique of this hydration system. He countered with the (rather brilliant or obvious) solution of freezing the bag when not in use. He puports that this will not adversly affect his product, I would imagine the others would hold up as well. -- Gabriel L Romeu http://studiofurniture.com -------> furniture http://users.aol.com/romeugp ---> paintings, prints, photos + stuff http://members.xoom.com/gabrielR --> a daily journal of observations *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Wed Apr 28 1999 - 21:36:22 PDT
