Better than other hydration systems I've used.

This humidification system is reliable and does the job. Unlike competitor drinking tubes, the Source Tactical Safety drinking tube is not too long or loose. In addition, the hose is insulated with a "Cool Weave" coating over the entire length, while competition hoses are uninsulated and made of neoprene. My experience with a neoprene hose cover is that it doesn't keep the water in the hose cool on hot days. Source Tactical's low-profile widepac tank has no water cap that screws on and the…

Pros
  • Low profile hydration pack designed to slip into a tactical vest, hydration pack or backpack.
Cons
  • You could have chosen a newer model

Ideal for 5.11 RUSH (or equivalent) packs

This is a Source WLPS (Wide Low Profile System) hydration reservoir. After a long search I found the perfect reservoir for my 5.11 RUSH backpacks. This reservoir fits all RUSH packs, including the RUSH 12. A Velcro loop on the top of the RUSH bags goes through the clip slot to close the reservoir and attach it to the pack. The QD (Quick Disconnect) design makes it easy to detach and route the hose through the backpack and then connect it to the tank without spilling water. Another benefit of…

Pros
  • 3 liter (100 oz) hydration system featuring Source: Glass Like and Grunge Guard hydration technologies; Flavorless for pure water taste; Care Free for low maintenance.
Cons
  • Protection

The best in the crowd of greats!

There are many types of backpack shaped water tanks and I have used many of them. Source Hydration is my favorite. The tank is easy to fill and clean. I can easily fill it with ice for long summer activities. They use some kind of magic plastic or process that keeps the water fresh for a long time. I even accidentally left one half full when storing it. When I pulled it out I thought the germs were having a party and stink to the tank. Not so. The water was as fresh as the first day! I really…

Pros
  • Quick connector for easy filter or UTA attachment.
Cons
  • So-so
