I converted my Camelbak hose to the newer style. For those that may not know the older military style had a longer connector (my pack if from 2011). My water filter came with a hose with a Camelbak adapter but it was the shorter length for the consumer packs so while it would fit in it didn't latch so I had to hold it to fill the bladder. I noticed Camelbak changed their military packs to the shorter style a while back. So I ordered a new hose and swapped the bladder ends so I can plug the new hose into my older bladder and now can unplug the mouthpiece and plug in the water filter hose. I'm not a fan of the straw style filters and carrying dirty water, I prefer to put filtered/clean water into my pack so I'm staying with they style for now.
