Both bags are leaking around
Both bags are leaking around large threads. I tighten as tight as possible, they leak, I am able to tighten more, they leak less. Seems as the threads get wet I am able to tighten more. When the bag leaks to about half full and I have retightened 2 or 3 times the leak stops.

This is an adapter to
This is an adapter to a dromedary bag, it makes it hard to fit the bag into a backpack. I would have thought the bag and adapter would be akin to any typical resevoir but it's pretty cumbersome.

Leaking at connection to the Dromedary cap
Works if under no pressure at elbow and no pressure on the bag but leaks in a backpack with minimal pressure from loosely packed contents. Have purchased many MSR products from stoves to tent to pot set/camp cookware to water filters to many dromedary bags etc. over 30 years and none have ever let me down. I still have them all. Something went wrong here.

Leaky bite valve
On first using the bag on a bike ride, I noticed a few problems. The bite valve leaks even when it was in the locked position. When you go to drink water, you draw back bubbles with the water the whole time you are drinking. We bought two systems and my husband's bag works well for him.

leaks big time
bite valve and valve are great. On the other end - leaks. Maybe mine is missing a o ring? First time I have not been happy with an MSR product.

Protrudes a lot into backpack
The hose connection protrudes quite far into the backpack, making it very cumbersome to get into a bag

I wish I could give it 5 stars
Yes it would be ideal if the kit didn't come with an extra cap that you need to connect the valve to which in turn connects to the the dromlite/dromedary bag directly. Why not just make the valve connect to the 3-in-1 hydration cap that comes with the dromlite/dromedary bag? Another gripe I have is that when you connect the kit to the bag it protrudes 2 1/4" inches. I have 2 daypacks that I use and this doesn't fit into the hydration sleeve on either correctly or at all. I have to just hang it into the main compartment which takes up valuable space on one bag. The other day pack hydration sleeve I have has a little more room to fit it in, but then I run the risk of the valve getting messed up over time because it protrudes too much. I wish I could upload photos to show. The kits works perfectly on it's own though.

works well
It does what it's supposed to do. Would be nice if there was a cap for the mouthpiece and if the hose was a bit longer. Those things don't kill the utility of this conversion kit. Makes a great addition to any dromedary bag.

Huh?
It's designed to connect to the MSR dromedaries right? The small screw cap won't fit onto the existing large dromedary cap. No that would be far too obvious a solution. Instead, this kit comes with ANOTHER large cap for the dromedary. So now there's an extra large cap I have to carry around for when I want to attach the hose.
