The Trap Dri moisture control trap has been developed to prevent excess water escaping from your water trap and saturating your pipe bag. Played by the 2015 World Pipe Band Champions Shotts & Dykehead Caledonia Pipe Band.
The Trap Dri complete system with trap and tube can easily fit into your zip bag, or any bag with a split stock.
Features:
- Vastly reduced moisture level in bag
- Designed to be so unrestrictive you won't even know it's there.
- Uses a unique combination of air pressure and water flow to draw the water into the trap.
- Virtually maintenance free.
- Simply remove every few weeks to clean.
- Comes with detailed instructions.
Important Product Note: All bagpipe water traps can develop mold and fungi with regular use if not cleaned and disinfected properly. This can lead to chronic inflammatory lung disease. Please take careful precautions to ensure your water trap is cleaned and disinfected on a regular basis to prevent mold and fungi from developing.

Does the job
I just went to my first hide bag after playing a synthetic for 10+ years and this was the moisture control system my pipe major recommended. I had used a Ross system for the past 10 years, which did a great job, had no complaints, but now going with a hide bag I had to get something that wouldn't get in the way of seasoning...and this one does. It's just that one tube connecting to the blow pipe stock and it's just a matter of removing the blowstick to dump out the liquid that accumulates, kinda like playing a horn and how they do it. No biggie...outside water the grass, inside find a garbage can or whatever, and just pour it out. I was amazed the first time (and I was playing for a while) how much liquid it captured (could of been quarter of a cup!) It does a great job (I've yet to find any moisture built up on my drone reeds). I did have to snip off about 1.5 inches of the hose for it to sit a little better in my large bag, but no biggie there either. It works well and I'd recommend it.

Asking the wrong person
I'm not a piper, I'm a drummer. We heard about the product from another person in the band & the general opinion was that it should work well. I can say all packaging was well done, all components appear to be of good quality & this is a present for my son who is a piper.
