The Difference between Civilian Camelbak and Standard Issue Milspec Camelbak

This is Tracey.

She's a veteran running the Rotorua marathon (postponed) in a 5.11 weighted vest for the @NoDuff foundation.

Before the lockdown, she was doing some extreme training.
Check out her Instagram page for the event and give her a follow: @marathonformates

On her first long run out she was having problems with her Camelbak.

Camelbak? That's a bit strange. They are extremely hard-core and used by the world's elite.
Yes, but...Tracey was using a standard civilian Camelbak. They're great and the engineering is good but in order to keep the costs down a lot of the Si (Standard Issue) packs have a lot of their tech pulled out.

So we sent Tracey a Mil-Spec H.A.W.G (Hell of a lot Of Water and Gear) and it got her to not worry about her gear, but the mammoth training instead.
Here's how it went:

Camelbak is synonymous with "made for the elite", so much so that it has been used by a lot of different front-line organisations around the world, for decades.

For a lot of you, you'll recognise this bag. It's the Defence Force issued bag.
The Futura harness is what made this bag so awesome!

The new BFM has been made with the awesome Futura harness!

...speaking of NEW Camelbak

Have you seen that new range all come with a crux reservoir?

...wait what!? What new range?

Yes. It's here!...and...it's launching right now!!!

Follow this link to the new range.

One of the big new products in the Camelbak lineup is the Mil Spec Crux 3.0L Long Accessory Reservoir

Why upgrade to a new CamelBak Mil-Spec Crux™ reservoir when an old reservoir will last forever? Because we never stop innovating. Our Crux reservoir delivers 25% more water with every sip in a pack loaded with the latest in hydration technology, so you can hunt longer.

Also available in Mil-Spec Crux 3.0L Short
