## Description

The best selling hydration system from Source Tactical, the 3-liter Tactical hydration pack offers a variety of usage modes -- worn backpack style, inserted in rucks, or direct-attached to MOLLE on vests or rucks using the Source QCA buckle system. The Tactical features quick-release shoulder straps that can be folded into a back pocket to load into a larger pack or mount on gear. A zippered top opening provides quick and easy access to the reservoir for cleaning, draining, or replacement. Closed cell insulation keeps the liquid cool for better absorption by the body. Other features include an external fill port, sternum strap for added stability, and elastic secured loop to keep loose strap-ends from dangling. The Tactical comes with a 3-liter WXP reservoir, which features a wide opening for easy filling, cleaning, draining, and ice insertion. Source's Glass-Like Film prevents bio-film build up and making the system virtually self-cleaning. Grunge Guard Technology inhibits dirt on the reservoir and drinking tube surfaces for the life of the system. The WXP is complemented by the high-flow Storm valve, a push-pull system that's like drinking from a straw. Source has been a groundbreaker in hydration system technology and is also well known for its tactical gear and hiking sandals. Tested in the most extreme conditions, hundreds of thousands of Source hydration systems are in use in the field.This product does not protect users or others against food-borne bacteria

Review: Love it! Just wish it had some additional pockets for storage. - This is an outstanding hydration system! There's an excellent video from Source (the vendor) on YouTube that demonstrates all of the features. I'll attempt to sum up the features and my observations: Bladder/Tube... - Does not impart any kind of plastic or chemical taste to the water! - Soft, glass-like lining inside the bladder to minimize bacterial growth and keep the lining easy to clean. My observation is that the bladder feels *slightly* more rigid than most competitors - Has a patented top slide across the bladder that allows for easy cleaning/access to the inside of the bladder. I haven't had to reach in and clean anything yet, but it makes it easy to prop open to air-out after draining/rinsing out. - Uses an excellent clip system to easily connect/disconnect the tube from the bladder and from the drinking nozzles (and supports different types of compatible nozzles). I upgraded the nozzle to the Helix QMT valve system. Other reviewers mentioned it being a wise move - it's a nice upgrade over the standard one included with this system, IMO. - Feels very durable. - The bladder can be purchased individually so if you ever have a problem and/or want a backup/second bladder, easy to do without buying the whole system. - The tube is thick/sturdy. The insulation is 'okay' (water will warm up if you leave it in the tube) - 3-liter capacity. The extra water really helps - I easily drink 2+ liters on a day-outing, but rarely run out of the entire 3. Pack... - The pack is a very heavy duty, military grade canvas-like material. I can't imagine anything short of a razor sharp knife or bullet being able to cut or penetrate it. - EXCELLENT insulation quality. After several hours in the hot Utah desert sun, the water inside was still cool! - The pack very securely fastens to the bladder using the cap. This makes it very easy to fill/drain without opening the pack and/or removing the bladder. - The straps are comfortable, but do not provide much padding. In practice, I think it's sufficient - I've taken it down into the southern Utah canyons and Uinta mountains and never felt uncomfortable with it. - The chest strap helps secure the shoulder harnesses in position and offsets some of the load across your sternum. - A velcro strap secures the tube over the shoulder - the tube was always easily accessible - The straps can easily tuck away to support dropping this system into a backpack - It's MOLLE-compatible so you can store the straps and connect it to the back of a MOLLE backpack. Pretty common configuration with military. I know there's more to the system than I'm listing - again, check out the video. Overall, I love the system. My one grip is that there are no additional storage pockets - it's not designed like many camelpaks that are more like hybrid backpack/hydration systems. This is purely a hydration system. Other than that, I can't think of a single complaint. If you're looking for an excellent, durable, well-insulated hydration system - you can't go wrong with this. The bladder and pack are both outstanding and the modularity of the system is fantastic.
Review: Very happy with Source! - This is my first ever desertcart review and seeing how I am in such a good mood today, I would like it to be a pleasant one (this is a little out of character for me) so I chose what may be my favorite purchase from desertcart to date. I really like this hydration system. In my opinion, the style of Source products is way better than those silly looking Camelbaks, and at least as good a quality if not better. I had a Camelback when I was in the Army and it took a beating so don't get me wrong they are great hydration systems, but I find that the leak-proof slider and wide opening alone make this a superior system. Look, I will try to make this short and sweet without bragging about how many miles and how often I hike, and what an extreme Survivor Man I am(like some reviews I read). This is an awesome hydration system that delivers what it claims, tough and tactical with great clean taste. One more great selling point is being able to fit huge chunks of ice in the slider opening and trust me, that puppy IS leak proof.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 100% worth it!
*by L***W on September 10, 2022*

I use this pack/bladder system for wild land firefighting and I really like. I wanted a hydration bladder that was in a pack to keep my water a little colder and secure than just being in a plain old exposed water bladder. I put the whole pack inside my Mystery Ranch line pack and it fits great without taking up a ton of room. With all the attachments points, buckle straps, and webbing loops, one could easily hook it to the outside of a bag/backpack as well. Water doesn’t seem to have much of a plastic taste (if at all) like with some other hydration bladders I’ve tried in the past. The whole thing seems really durable. Being on a wild land hand crew we use things hard and put equipment through it’s paces. We’ll see if it holds up the rest of the fire season but I feel pretty confident that it will without issue. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for a quality hydration system! Source Tactical seems like a dark horse company quietly making high-end products.
