The Rothco MOLLE 3 Liter Backstrap Hydration System keeps a long hike moving, because water rides on your back and the bite valve stays within reach. No more halting on the trail to dig a bottle out of a bag.

Three liters carry you through extended days of hiking and camping. Reinforced straps with quick-release buckles hold the load steady as you walk, and 3 rows of MOLLE loops let you add pouches for a setup built around your day.

Why it works:

  • Drink without breaking stride: A sip is always within reach on the move, since the plastic hose ends in a bite valve and wears a soft, comfortable neoprene cover.
  • No dripping between sips: You decide when water flows, because the on-off bite valve prevents dripping and cuts waste.
  • A steady carry under load: The pack stays stable as you move, thanks to reinforced backpack straps with quick-release buckles built to bear the weight of the 3L bladder.
  • Room to grow your loadout: Extra gear mounts straight to the carrier, with 3 rows of MOLLE loops for a customized setup.
  • Five colors to match your kit: Choose ACU Digital Camo, Black, Coyote Brown or Olive Drab in 600 denier polyester, or MultiCam in 1000 denier nylon.
