Source Tactical SNEP Convertube Water Bottle Adapter Kit, Plastic, Coyote

Avid hiker, hunter, backpacker. I decided to take a chance on this product because I was so tired of having to essentially unpack and remove my bladder every time I wanted to fill water and hated having wet gear the one time that my bladder sprung a leak inside my pack. After making the switch I struggle to understand why bladders are even a thing any more? This system is well made and has a wide range of vessels it can attach to. A Nalgene or simple gas station water bottle weighs just as much or less than a bladder and allows for so much more versatility. It may not hold 3L of water, but bring another bottle that weighs 2 oz and you are covered. Perhaps my favorite piece of this system is the mouth bit. It seals well, is comfortable and efficient to drink from. The cap that covers it is amazing in keeping it clean and damage-free. This system on a bottle allows for several things that bladders do not: 1) Bottles are much preferred for using during cooking. Trying to add water out of a bladder is cumbersome, both to remove from pack and to empty into cookware. A bottle you just pour or drink straight from. 2) If you keep the cap for the bottle, you can share the bottle with others if needed as well as take in literally any other pack or standalone. 3) What I think I find most appealing and somewhat funny, is that you can use it inside your pack just like a bladder, but now you can also keep in an exterior pocket of your pack and have easy access 100% of the time. That being said, a bottle outside the pack in cold temps means a possibility of freezing, but I'd rather have a cheap water bottle freeze and fail than an expensive bladder. Two points that I could see improvements on in future versions of this are: 1) Hose Stiffness, the hose is very rigid and will take time for it to find its memory to each pack/system you place it in. That also being true for drinking, it is stiff and you have to put a little more effort into bending the hose to drink from... A small price to pay for durability though. I Believe this was designed for desert climates though so I am sure the hose loosens a bit when in the heat of the desert. 2) The hose has a thin "cloth" sheath, which is awesome for glare and heat absorption of the hose and water within, but it lacks insulation, so in colder temps there is the chance your hose will freeze on you. Would like to see the neoprene hose sheath like other bladder models out there. Again, I believe this was designed with desert warfare in mind so insulation was not high on their list I imagine. All in all, I will be going this route for all future water system purchases. Bladders just don't cut it anymore.

This is one of those things that you dont think you need until you get it. Iv always hiked with normal water bottles, and having to stop and take off your bag or having to do that weird reach behind you to grab the bottle is annoying. You could get a camel bag but cleaning and filling them is also a hassle. This works great. Easy to clean, easy to use, comes with tons of attachments so it will most likley work with any bottle you have. No leaks, no problems what so ever. After buying this it would be hard to hike out without it.

Love the quick connect feature, fits right onto my nalgeene bottle, valve that comes with it is cheap and leaks under pressure and is uncomfortable on the mouth. I ordered the bite valve for an extra 20 dollars and that one works great. Extra 20 bucks though.

Slurp slurp it works!

I would like a refund it is that bad. It's like sucking a milkshake through a coffee straw. Brilliant Idea and horrible execution. The price makes it worse. Avoid this unless it's less than 12 USD with shipping. The flow rate is so slow even a hamster wouldn't be able to get water from this. Horrible construction and build quality. Leaks and breaks easily. Do not buy this.

Great piece if gear

The bottle adapters are very useful. That’s what you really paying for. But the bite valve is terrible, a hard plastic which is inferior to soft bite valves used by other systems. Also, the two part design of the hose with the lock snap inhibits flow of liquid when you draw on the hose which is completely annoying. Easiest hack is to use a soft bite valve and hose from another bladder manufacturer like camelback or osprey as it will attach to the bottle adapters and provide better liquid flow.

I love this thing works with my camel back water bottle the 32 oz and that’s pretty much all me or my mom drink out of at home have like 6bottles but it works nice the locking mechanism for the straw is vary tuff the get undone by hand I have to use some thing like a pen but it breaths well and is water proof

Great colour and functionality. The drinking end opens with a pull and closes with a push instead of biting like simulate products, with a lid that protects it when not in use so can be sure of no wastage. Would definitely recommend.

Ik drink niet genoeg tijdens hikes en trekkings en koos daarvoor voor een waterzak. Die zijn helaas niet zo handig om te reinigen, in uw rugzak te bewaren en na een tijdje kan de dichting ook gaan lekken (en zo de inhoud van uw rugzak vochtig maken). Ik heb mij nu 2 drinkflessen van 1 liter aangeschaft dat ik in de zijkant van mijn rugzak bewaar en waar dit systeem perfect op past! De valven zorgen dat het water niet terugvloeit naar de drinkfles, het is compatibel met verschillende schroefdoppen. Ik ben fan!

This is a well-made product. I received it on Sunday evening and put it right on my pack. The various lids for different sized water bottles are excellent. The Family is training for backpacking, and I will be purchasing three more of these Water bottle adapters for the family! I highly recommend using this item!

Utilizzato e testato in più uscite. Funziona bene e vi sono gli adattatori per le bottiglie pressoché universale. Basta averlo nello zaino e utilizzare anche la bottiglia del supermercato.

Extra für ne Motorradtour über den Balkan gekauft. Top. Ideal für meinen Kriega T9 Rucksack und 2 Flaschen a1l. Immer frisches Wasser, nicht wie aus ner Blase, wo die Brühe nach Plastik schmeckt und schnell warm wird. Lässt sich gut und schnell reinigen, klare Empfehlung.
