Our write-up

Bigger: MSR Dromedary 10L

GearLab recommends the Dromedary family for durable water hauling and the 10 L size for base camp. It provides useful extra capacity; that long-term review predates the current lining.

Capacity and weight: 10 L; 280 g empty; about 10.28 kg full, calculated.

Construction: 1000-denier exterior, food-grade polyurethane lining, three-in-one cap and perimeter carrying webbing.

Packing and care: Collapsible; numeric packed size and handle rating unpublished. Wash, rinse and air-dry completely.
