The water bladder was fine, but the drinking port and about half of the tube froze - and this was the "winterized" neoprene covered one! I had the tube tucked inside my jacket and just left the drinking port right outside my collar. Anyone try those Polar insulated water bottles? Any additives that can be placed in the water - like antifreeze (but non-toxic!)?
Antifreeze but non toxic = replace your water with your favorite mixture of Ethanol and enjoy...
