Review on Camelbak Skirmish Antidote Hydration Backpack by John Rivera

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Camelbak quality in sport

I have several Camelbak military bags and they are all top notch in terms of quality and the Skirmish is no exception. My only criticism of the skirmish is that it's quite heavy for its size. It has a fairly solid frame and aluminum posts which are useful for shifting/balancing the load on the waistbelt, but this unpadded waistbelt is totally unsuitable for working with a full bag. I wish the camel would use the same waist belt as their triple zip fastening. I might try removing the frame foil and sticking to see if I can lighten it up a bit.

Pros
  • Top marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Big and bulky
