Quick Overview

This system is a standalone 3-liter tactical hydration carrier designed for short-duration use like day hikes, patrols, or training. Its integrated backpack straps allow it to be worn without needing a separate plate carrier or large rucksack for attachment.

Field Application Steps

  1. Inspect the bladder for leaks, then fill with 3 liters of potable water and seal securely.
  2. Don the carrier and adjust the shoulder and sternum straps for a snug, high-and-tight fit on the back.
  3. Route the insulated drinking hose over your non-dominant shoulder for easy access.
  4. To drink, engage the 'On' switch, apply pressure to the bite valve, and suck to draw water.
  5. Always return the valve switch to the 'Off' position after drinking to prevent leaks during movement.
  6. After use, thoroughly clean and completely dry the bladder and hose to prevent microbial growth.
