Blow the water out!
The thermal tube works great for keeping the tube flexible in cold conditions. There are 2 options for keeping the tube from freezing in cold conditions: either drink frequently, every 10 minutes, OR blow the water out of the tube after you take a drink. Tested at 8,400 - 10,000 feet, at 9 degrees Farenheit.
Just OK
Well, if I could remember to blow the water out of the tube every time I took a sip then I think the Thermal Kit would have worked well. For that matter, if I remembered to blow the water everytime I wouldn't have needed the Thermal Kit. The tube froze so I am not sure to what temp. this thing is rated. Maybe they should have a little chart that shows the water going from liquid to ice and where the kit stops working?
Camelbak's Thermal Kit
The most annoying thing about any Camelback is when you are really thirsty and you take that first big gulp of water and... gross! It's luke warm. The Thermal Kit solves all that. It keeps the hot, hot and the cold, cold. The cap on the end also helps keep the mouthpiece clean and free of debris. Everyone who owns a Camelbak should also get the Thermal Kit.
too big
The thermal control kit cap piece is too big to fit through CamelBak's (yes, CamelBak) shoulder loops. This makes it impossible to easily remove the bladder/hose from the pack to wash/fill.Not recommended.
Replacement
Old one broke after much use. I’m replacing it because it works good,(not great) in those cold and damp Northeast winter days.
