Connecting hose is too short

This is not a direct replacement for the quick release valve and hose sold on current Hydraulics and Hydraulics LT bladders. The connecting hose sold with the kit is much shorter and is not long enough to allow the quick release valve to feed through the red loops (Hydraulics LT) or blue loops (Hydraulics) at the top of the bladder. Using these loops routes the hose either left or right (according to your preference) and does improve the working of the bladder (I've tried without). It's a shame that this is not made clear and it seems penny-pinching to provide only a shorter hose.

Hi Andrew,

Thank you for taking the time to write a review on the Quick connect kit.

The hose that is supplied with the Quick Connect Kit is used to lengthen the existing hose if you wish to do so. The hose its self can be threaded through the loops that you are referring to on all of our reservoirs.

On the Hydraulics LT 1.5L reservoir, it will sit above said loops and on the others, it will sit below, both ways are viable options. If you would like the Quick Connect Kit to sit higher on the reservoir we recommend that you cut the hose to the desired length so that you can put the Quick Connect Kit in between the two halves of the hose, above or below the loops whichever is your desired preference.

Regards,

Osprey Customer Service

greit nok

ny slange med isolering til vinterbruk, mådde desverre kjøpe div ekstra deler siden vinterslangen ikke har snapkobling som sommerslangen har. Ble edel ekstra kostnader som ikke en så seriøs leverandør som Osprey tillate.
