Dear Ralph and Paddlewisers,

	As always, great to get information from those who have the 
experience.  Ralph did you try airing out  the inside of the bags for 
a bit  then soaking the  MSR bladders with baking soda in water for a 
day or two after.  I've never been able to use any bladder, even 
Gregory's mylar lined one, without that process.  I usually find 
things much better with this stuff after a couple of baking soda 
baths.  If I had plunked down real money I might even try soaking 
their insides with activated charcoal in water.

	Jim, if I decided to go with the MSR Dromedary bags, I would 
buy from REI  or LL Bean and use their satisfaction guarantee.

All the Best,

Peter Kalanzis
