The brand leaders in hands-free hydration on the go, Camelbak, have combined their water drinking systems with an excellent range of backpacks for all outdoor hobbies and activities. For a medium length hike or mission, we suggest that this Camelbak H.A.W.G Mil Spec Crux Coyote Backpack is the ideal size. The H.A.W.G meaning is self-explanatory: ‘holds a lot of water and gear’.

There are two full length compartments to keep items separated, and the uniquely-shaped padded back panel (the Air Director™) allows a steady air flow for ventilation and comfort. It is adjustable for waist size and back length with the bottom belt being totally removable. The reservoir holds 3 litres of water, with a cargo capacity of 20 litres – perfect for a day or two’s equipment.

The MOLLE on the front (Modular Lightweight load-carrying Equipment, pronounced ‘molly’) allows plenty of scope for attachment of other kit such as other pouches, torches, first aid kits and walking sticks, so that your extra items can be balanced evenly over the backpack.
