Do you simply want to carry water on your back – without needing all the bells and whistles of the larger military packs? You may want to check out the Camelbak Thermobak Omega Hydration Backpack.
For one, this rugged, well-made pack provides a reliable, comfortable and hassle-free way to transport a large amount of water (3L). Plus, with its minimal design, you can take advantage of its ultra-light weight of 1 1/2 lbs.
Note: A lot of people use the Thermobak for mountain biking, trail running and even Spartan races.
With smaller, more compact hydration backpacks like the Camelback Thermobak, you can focus more on what you are doing. In other words, you don’t need to worry about your bag getting in the way or having to continually adjust the straps.
This Backpack doesn’t even come with a waist belt (just a sternum strap). Keep your water close and easily accessible without feeling like your weighed down by an animal on your back. =)
This pack fits snug and secure. Plus, we know Camelbak for producing durable and long lasting bags that pay for themselves over the years.
Hydration Backpack Color/Pattern Options:
- ABU
- ACU Pattern
- NWU Navy

The Camelbak Thermobak 3L Omega is Not a Suitcase…
If you want a hydration-only bag, you will appreciate the design and durability of this backpack. However, keep in mind that you don’t get any extra pockets to store lots of gear.
You might be able to attach small gadgets to the D-rings on the sides, or hang them from the shoulder straps. But don’t count on much more storage space with this low-profile pack. Hey – less is more, right?
Filling the Reservoir: This bladder includes a quick link exit port and ql hydrolock bite valve adapter. The tube clicks off for faster refilling with auto shut-off.
Plus, it comes with a new fill port. In other words, it has a super large opening with air-tight 1/4 turn open/close for quick, secure seal that can’t be over-tightened.
In addition, you may want to check out eBay for lower prices on this tactical hydration pack. That said, know that they may not exactly match the features and design of the Camelbak Thermobak we’ve described here.
