Swiss army Water bags??
Hi all.
The Swiss army waterbag is a ver sturdy Rubber bag that holds 20 liters.
They are exelnt for carrying water and for laying out in the sun to warm the water for a shower.
The down side is that they have a screw on tap that isn't really handy to use.
I lost my Swiss army waterbag in south Spain. This one was fitted with an adapter that had a hose on it.
Does any one know these bags and if so what is the thread size?
I want to make a new adapter so that I can have a nice shower without contorting myself trying to keep the tap open.
cheers
Ian

MSR make the Dromedary bag, which is similar to the bag you mentioned. They come in a few different sizes. Some have metal gromets and webbing around the bag to make hanging and strapping the bag down easy. They also roll up small when not in use. They come with a screw cap to make filling easy and it also has a smaller flip top for pouring. The screw threads will accept most water purifying pumps. There is a shower cap with hose that can be purchased, it has an adjustable flow valve on it. It can also be converted to a hydration bladder with a tube that has a bite valve. I have used these bags for over ten years with no problems at all.
