The USWE Hydraflex Drink Tube Kit is the fix: a fresh taste-free TPU hose and bite valve that clicks onto your USWE bladder in seconds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eWhat it is\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA complete drinking end for a USWE hydration bladder: a red, 91.4 cm TPU hose with a high-flow bite valve on one end and a Plug-n-Play quick connector on the other. Swap out a chewed valve or a hose that has started to taste of plastic, and your bladder is back in service in the time it takes to click it in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnyone running a USWE pack or bladder with the Plug-n-Play coupling - the Elite, Shape-Shift and Compact Lumbar bladders. That covers the mountain bikers on Nerang and Mt Joyce singletrack, the trail runners out in the Gold Coast hinterland, gravel riders and the moto crowd. It is also the spare worth keeping in the shed, because a split hose the night before a race is a much smaller problem when the replacement is already on the bench.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eKey details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 91.4 cm (36 in), enough to run from the pack over your shoulder strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube:\u003c\/strong\u003e taste-free TPU, BPA-free, so a hot day in the car park does not turn your water into something you would rather spit out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKink-resistant:\u003c\/strong\u003e keeps flowing when the hose gets bent around a strap or squashed into a full pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBite valve:\u003c\/strong\u003e high flow for a quick drink between efforts, with a lock so it stays shut while the pack is in the boot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlug-n-Play connector:\u003c\/strong\u003e clicks into the bladder coupling and pops out again for cleaning or for moving the tube to another bladder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eHow it compares\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHydraflex is the standard USWE drink tube: clear red TPU, light and easy to see when it is clean. If you ride or run through Queensland summers and want the water to stay cooler for longer between sips, the USWE Hydrafusion Insulated Drink Tube Kit uses the same Plug-n-Play connection with foam insulation around the hose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h5\" style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eLooking after it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter each ride, unclip the hose at the connector, run warm water with a little mild soap through it, rinse and hang it up to dry with both ends open. A tube that dries out properly between uses stays fresh far longer than one left coiled up wet in the pack.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"USWE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67807866650733,"sku":"US5101231","price":46.08,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0253\/1708\/1197\/files\/101231-hydraflex-tube-kit-uswe-hydration-accessorie-min.jpg?v=1792528635","url":"https:\/\/ozbackcountry.co.nz\/products\/hydraflex-drink-tube-kit","provider":"Oz Backcountry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
