it's a really good bladder back but the hose and hose cover came in green not black. . . ill have to order a black one online somewhere else i guess. fits on my molle vest no problem and it came with straps so i could wear it by it's self. as always a really fast delivery less than a day this time.

Just got my hydration system and an additional three bladders. Could not believe the quality of both. I also liked the wide mouth on the bladder that came with the pack. Large enough to put ice in. Attached it to my assult vest with the MOLLE and can't even tell it's there.

Good product at low price. Fits molle vests perfectly. Hose is OD Green, not black.

This is an awesome product. I have used with with my Condor Molle PLate Carrier, bought also from here, at 3 airsoft games and it hasn't failed me yet. It keeps the drink cool, even at hot temperature, but I have only one complaint. My version didn't come with the black tube to cover up the tube, so I'm running around with the blue tube showing, and nothing to cover it. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough to find it, but I wished it did come with it.

This is a great addition for anyone in a combat zone or anyone who plans on wearing their "tac vest" into obvious "free world" situations like hunting/varminting/etc.. It fits perfectly on my Molle "entry vest" and even when completly full, it is hardly noticeable as extra weight! It keeps water where I need it on long wolf treks or busy days downing wabbits in the dessert! Very well made product and I can still fit my large pack on over it no problem!

I bought one of these to go on my molle vest I bought from CTD. It is a great value as it comes with the 2 liter bladder, not just the pouch. Everyone needs one in their SHTF gear. 5 bullets.

I was impressed with this when I got it for several reasons. The first being that it looks to be very well built. Another reason is that I received one that had straps that make it a stand alone backpack. Add a couple of other pouches to the outside and this is a great "day pack" option if you hike. To the reviewer below who was inquiring about this - just order one now as they are coming with the shoulder straps. The other variation from the picture is that the hose on my bladder did not come with the black around it, so I now have to get one so I don't have a glaringly blue hose sticking out. However, for 20 bucks, I wasn't really expecting the bladder to actually be useful and it really is. I now have a spare if my others break.

Just an update to my last review. I noticed someone on here said something about how to carry it without a vest. I've found the MOLLE straps will work wonderfully on a belt, to carry it at your side. Personally, I recommend it be behind you, as the weight difference will throw you off if hiking/climbing.

It's big, it's tough, and it does it's job right. Couldn't ask for a better hydration system. I have zero complaints for this pack.

i have to say that when i got this carrier i was amazed. i recently purchased one from "the other company" you know the one whose initials are "BH". this one beats theirs hands down. the other is higher priced and without the bladder. this one is two layers of fabric where the other is only one. much sturdier feel to it also. seems to be a bit insulated. i am going to buy another just for a spare. not that i expect this one to wear out or break but something of this quality is hard to find. and for the price you just can't go wrong.

I bought this hydration system and I am SOO IMPRESSED! The outer shell is thick canvas and keeps the water cold very well. The water tube also has an insulation around it as well. The bladder is well made. Thick bladder material and a wide opening to put ice cubes in are definitely a bonus. The mouth piece is AWESOME! It threw me off at first, it is a bite piece but there is a water bottle type pull piece that cuts the flow so that you don't drip water and waste it. I married this into the ULTIMATE MOLLE Pack. It wasn't Ultimate until I added this hydration system! If you don't have anything to marry this to it might be a hassle trying to carry it, because there are no straps. But the shell has so many MOLLE loops I don't see it being a problem attaching it to ANYTHING! GREAT BUY!!!! THANKS CTD!!!!

well, i just got this things and i tell you! this thing will keep you out there and doing your job!!!!! this things holds so much water!!! and the thing that is really nice about it is....that you never need to buy a replacement liner for this. the outer molle webbing will keep this thing covered. i have even shot a blow dart at this thing with the bladder in it. and it did not go trough!! i'm telling you, please buy this thing. it will make it better for you i bet my bottom dollar on it!!!!!!!!!!

I just received my hydro pack. Mated to my tactical vest wonderfully. (Though, I wonder why I've got six rows of MOLLE webbing now.) The bladder is definately heavy enough to not get punctured when in heavy cover. The only reason I didn't give it five bullets was I haven't tested the mouth piece yet. Though, I think I'd prefer a bite system better.

wow. I bought this and the police tac vest both for 19.99 each and I love them they both fit perfect and the bladder in the hydro pack seems to be made VERY well. 2.5l goes A LONG way. please buy this it is more than worth it. if you have any questions email me at gmaxking15@gmail.com .

I didn’t want to spend an arm and a leg for a Camelback so I bought this hydration pack. I thought it had shoulder strap which it didn’t but I wish it had because I only needed to wear the bladder on my back. I did some backyard engineering and took my old shoulder straps off my ALICE pack and attached them to the hydration pack. Work great!!! Eventually I added a few pouches on the hydration system because I could with all the MOLLE attachments and I now have the perfect rig. Not too heavy or bulky and fits like a glove.
