CARRYING A HYDRATION BLADDER
STEP 1
Slide the water-filled hydration bladder into the
sleeve with the elastic top edge located inside the
pack at the top of the back panel.
STEP 2
Clip the top of your hydration bladder in the
webbing loop and buckle at the top of the
back panel.
This prevents the bladder from sagging and
potentially crimping the hose or the bladder and
insures the water weight of the reservoir is proper.
STEP 3
Slide the hydration bladder tube through
the HydroPort
.
™
The HydroPort
is a slot located above the small
™
loop of webbing with a plastic buckle.
STEP 4
Direct the tube to either side of the pack,
depending upon your preference, and slip the
tube under the hydration tube / load lifter strap
retainer to keep the tube easily accessible.
