Hydration Pack Insulated Drink Tube Covers

I was looking around for a while for something that would help keep the water in my hydration bladder tube cool so that every time I take a drink the first mouth full was burning and this was just what I was looking for! It was easy to place over tube since you have to take apart after each use to clean and it is thick enough to help keep the water cool. It was a bit pricier than other ones on the market but the build was much nicer since the sewing seams are done well. Would recommend to anyone looking for a quality hydration tube cover!!

Tip: It is challenging to put onto the tube. Wet the cover and your tube. Put something rigid in the tube when pulling the cover over the tube. Works great! Love the product!

Installs by sliding over my camelback hose very easily. Works great.

5 Stars So Far...I am giving this five stars so far. Good quality thick neoprene. What looks to be solid construction. The stitching on the tops and bottoms look solid, and there is a nice long strip of Velcro on the back. The holes that are cut on the front may appear to be small, but once you get the neoprene seated around the opening of your reservoir, it fits very nice and snugly. I am using a Camelbak Crux 2 liter reservoir. The fit inside is not 100% spot on but it’s darn close. Unless this sleeve is made for a specific reservoir, I would question if anything would fit 100% perfect, so I am not taking anything off of my score for this.I also have the insulated sleeve for the tube, and it fits perfectly. So this runs five stars as well. It does add with to the diameter of your tube, but that’s just part of the deal having it. If you have attachable anchor points on your backpack, they may be too small for the tube and insulator sleeve.I will be inserting my reservoir with insulator into a 5.11 Rush 12 backpack. I know it will fit fine. The real test will be how well it insulates the water inside the reservoir. I will be going to the Indy 500 next weekend, and I plan to use this on race day. That will be the true test of how well it keeps ice water cold.Overall, I am very pleased so far.

In the summertime, I can tell that the water in the tube doesn't get as hot which is nice. It's not as refreshing to take a drink of water when I'm sweating and thirsty only to find out the first few gulps are hot from the sun. I found that putting the cover on my camelback tube was not super easy. I had to use a coat hanger to try and stuff it all the way on - it's a very tight fit but thankfully I haven't had to take it off/put it back on.I also use it for skiing. It keeps the water from freezing in the tube to a degree. The cover gives 15 extra min maybe, but I find I still need to either continue drinking water or blow the water out of the tube back into the bladder to keep it from freezing. Water has frozen in my tube in 10-25 degrees Fahrenheit temperatures if I don't pay attention.

Bought this too keep cold water cold. A hot sip of water on a hot hike is a bit disappointing, and I always end up spitting the first drink out.I paired this with an insulated camelback which I fill with ice water. I hiked 12 miles on a warm day and was pleased with how much cooler that first sip was compared to a few days ago before I had the tube insulated.I'm a bit surprised about the reviews saying it's hard to put on. It's not supposed to slide over the mouth piece. I disconnected my tube from the bladder and slid it over the smaller end. It does bunch up to the point it won't slide, which is when you slide the bunched up part further down the tube. Then bunch a little more up on the end, then slide, repeat until it's all the way on. Took maybe 30-45 seconds to put it on.

I has some concerns about slipping this insulation over the intake tube for the bladder but found that it wasn't a problem after all. I just slipped the intake end with the connector as far as I could into the sleeve initially. Then when it started to get snug, I moved to the intake end inside the insulation and pushed it little by little until it finally came out the opposite end of the insulation. No problem! It should help keep the water in the intake tube from getting hot while riding my bike in the sun on a warm day. It's just what the doctor ordered.

This does not work well with a silicone tube.It was 1.5 hr project to get it on involving hemostats ( to grip and pull) , water based lubricant, and ultimately cutting it and reattached it.
