I am very interested in how the winter Camelbak StoAway peforms in below zero F temperatures (say, -20F). Even when I blow the water back after taking drinks my regular CamelBak eventually freezes shut. This has happened enough so that when its about 0F degrees or less I use regular water bottles. |

This will be carried in my water bladder of my atmos 50 pack. The bladder itself and part of the tubing inside the pack will be wrapped in a 300 weight fleece fabric I cut out of my old north face denali jacket. Spent so much time over the years hiking/exploring in minus -30 to -60 wind chills have developed an uncanny ability to keep water from freezing. One thing I don't do is feed the tubing through the pack straps so I can tuck it away quickly and its not exposed to snow/wind etc. I just keep the bitevalve out the end of the pack. If I need a sip I take it and slide the tube back in the pack. Will let you all know how it works out. Last edited by AlpineZone; 10-24-2009 at 23:30. |
