Drying a hydration reservoir completely sounds simple until you realize how difficult it actually is. If you've ever tried stuffing paper towels into a bladder or propping it open with wooden spoons, this tool solves that problem. The Reservoir Dryer holds your bladder open while hanging it upside down so water drains out and air circulates through the entire interior. That combination prevents the moisture buildup that leads to bacteria growth and that funky taste nobody wants on their next ride.

The dryer uses a two-piece design. The first piece clicks into the drinking tube port on your reservoir and creates a rigid structure that props the bladder walls apart. This piece also functions as the hanging hook, so you can suspend the whole setup from a towel bar, cabinet knob, or wherever works in your space. The second piece is a snap-on clip that holds your PureFlow tube vertically so it drains and dries at the same time. Both pieces are molded from polypropylene copolymer, which means they won't rust or absorb odors like some materials do.

The system works with both Crux and Antidote reservoirs from CamelBak. The click-in interface is sized specifically for CamelBak's tube ports, so if you're running a different brand's bladder, the fit might not work as intended. Some older Antidote models have slightly different tube diameters, which can affect how securely the tube clip holds, but the main dryer piece that goes into the port should still function correctly....
