Re: [Paddlewise] MSR Dromedary water bags

Alex,

I have two MSR dromedary water bags, and both of the caps leaked on them
too. The clerks are REI were shocked when I told them. I bought some MSR
replacement caps, and they leaked too. To resolve the problem, I bought caps
from Nalgene. For storage on a trip, I use the plain Nalgene caps, and for
drinking, I use a Nalgene cap that comes with a drinking tube system. The
MSR bag with the Nalgene caps turns out to be the perfect combination.
