Condor Outdoor Tidepool Hydration Carrier (OD)

Condor makes great products. I’ve bought two separate mag pouch setups, a chest rig, a plate carrier from AR500.com, and now this hydration pack. NONE of it has been toy/airsoft quality. It’s all very well designed and built, with good materials and good construction. Some people don’t like the detachable MOLLE straps on this, but I think it’s a great option for those who would rather use Vanquest Sticks or some other kind of speed clip. I mounted it upside-down at first because I wasn’t expecting the clamshell zipper design, but once I got it put together right it made perfect sense. There’s a strap at each top corner to hold the hose and prevent the zipper from opening. The drinking bit is fully removable for cleaning, using a QD button, includes a dirt cap, and has a leak-stop valve, plus neoprene insulation the full length of the tube. Condor is really top-notch for the price. If you’re not a full-time warrior, but you want quality, basic, real-world tactical gear for SHTF situations, don’t hesitate to buy Condor.
