This Genuine Issue MOLLE II Hydration Carrier is the rugged, insulated outer shell designed to protect and carry a 100 oz (3.0L) hydration bladder. Built to military specifications, this carrier is an essential upgrade for those who already own a bladder and need a durable, modular way to integrate it into their gear.

Product Specifications

  • NSN: 8465-01-524-8362

  • Pattern: Universal Camouflage Pattern (ACU)

  • Material: 1000 Denier Cordura Nylon

  • Compatibility: Fits most standard 100 oz (3.0L) hydration bladders

  • Note: Carrier Only (Bladder and drinking tube not included)

Key Features

  • Insulated Lining: The interior is lined with thermal insulation to help maintain water temperature and prevent the bladder from sweating against your back.

  • Dual-Purpose Carry: Equipped with adjustable shoulder straps for standalone use. For a more integrated setup, the straps can be tucked into the back panel, allowing the carrier to be attached directly to a MOLLE rucksack or vest.

  • Quick-Access Top: Features a large top opening with a secure hook-and-loop closure, making it easy to slide your bladder in and out for refilling or cleaning.

Ideal For

  • Upgrading Existing Gear: A perfect replacement for worn-out commercial carriers or for those who prefer the durability of genuine military surplus.

  • Custom Loadouts: Allows you to choose your own preferred bladder brand while maintaining a uniform ACU tactical appearance.

  • Outdoor Missions: Provides a low-profile hydration solution for hiking, rucking, or airsoft without the bulk of a full backpack.
