Gee I wonder how much water a person passes through their bag on a typical night?
A quart? Half a gallon? A pint?
How big would this thing have to be to absorb that much water? You can't compact water so far as I know. You can't 'dry it out.'
And this discharge thing... in the course of the following day just how is this water supposed to get out again?
Where would you put it? Does water only come out of one place on the body, or like, all over, and then transpire into the bag?
Why not make the whole bag a dessicant? A dessicant layer as it were?
When my bag gets damp I have to lay it out in the sun awhile to evaporate the water out of it. Dlo dessicants have a spigot? A drain pipe?
Hmmmmm...........
Nope. Not gunna work. Synthetic bags - there ya go.
Say if you're going to invent the Next Killer App for climbing, an affordable and lightweight but durable Still Suit would be awesome. Then your whole dessicant problem evaporates, whoosh! You just suck on the hose and drink your own precious bodily fluids... filter of course!
