Excellent quality, durability and functionality. The size/weight/capacity are perfect for me as I wanted hydration only. No need for storage.

not too heavy as well as very easy to carry!

Great craftsmanship.

Newer 2019 Stealth version that comes with the 85oz/2,5L Mil-Spec Crux reservoir holds 15oz more water than the previous 2013 Mil-Spec Antidote 70oz/2L model. Still maintains the sleek low profile aspect of its design to use in tight confined spaces such as a vehicle or aircraft. Able to route the hydration tube over the shoulder or under the arm for left or right side. Easy external access to the fill port with dual zippered flap. Like the previous versions I could use this under a jacket or vest. When I was Active Duty, I used mine under my Flotation Vest while working on the Flight Deck of an Amphibious Assault Ship to stay hydrated during long flight deck operations. Only Con I have is that it only comes in Black. I would love to have a Coyote and an Olive Drab version of this model as available color options.

Camelback was recommended to me by a friend who’d served 20 years in the Army with multiple deployments. He’s the one who told me “dude, being in the mountains as much as you are, you need one”. I bought my Camelbak and found it to be the missing link to make my gear complete.
