MSR Dromedary 4 Litre

This is the second 4 litre container I have bought, just to add more volume for a longer trip. They seem durable and practical although the three way lid is a bit bulky it is practical for filling and pouring. There is a definite taste to the water which some people might dislike but I find it ok. It doesn’t seem to change after a few uses.

Well made, tough but I think mine may have a slight leak around the main filler seal.

Small tap poured is too small and very small. Intermediate opening very fiddly to open and gets tangled with retainer cord which is too short and thin.

But the real negative is the taste. The water is tainted with a terrible rubbery smell and taste. Water is virtually undrinkable (unless you were dying in a desert, of course). But as a water bladder it totally fails if the water tastes that bad. Even in tea the rubber taste is terrible.

I was really pleased when I got this but very, very disappointed after first use. Expected top quality from MSR (I have an XGK 2 stove in perfect order after 25 years of use).
