This morning at SHOT Show, CamelBak announces the launch of the Rubicon and Skirmish as part of its Maximum Gear line for 2015. Using the unique 100 oz. (3L) Mil Spec Antidote Lumbar Reservoir, these packs reinvent the way water tactical hydration packs carry water. The low-profile, baffled lumbar reservoir integrates into a specially-designed insulated hydration compartment at the base of each pack. This exclusive reservoir design moves the weight of the water onto the hips for a more comfortable and ergonomic load-carry and is built from the same material as the standard Mil Spec Antidote Reservoir, which meets the Marine Corps hydration system requirement for tensile strength, puncture resistance and burst resistance. 
With cargo capacities of 2,868 and 2,014 cubic inches respectively, the Rubicon (above) and Skirmish (below) are two of the largest packs in the Maximum Gear line. To reduce bulk, both packs are equipped with innovative, sleek and low-profile laser-cut composite MOLLE panels on the face and harnesses that provide secure attachment for pouches and gear. 
"Water is one of the heaviest pieces of gear to carry and is essential to staying hydrated and surviving in hot climates," said Jeremy Galten, CamelBak Products' vice president of research and development. "Our unique lumbar reservoir design gives warfighters the ability to carry their water low and around their hips for a lower center of gravity and more stable load-carry."
