CamelBak Products, LLC, announced earlier this week that its Chem Bio Reservoir X™ (CBR X), the next-generation of hydration safety equipment, meets the US Army’s stringent requirements for a Multi-Purpose Personal Hydration System and is able to withstand 6 hours of chemical challenge after the rigors of 30 days of use, making it easier and safer to stay hydrated in a CBRN threat environment. This means CamelBak is offering a single reservoir that can be used everyday yet meets the rigors of a slimed environment. It seems as though we have been in the COIN fight for so long we have forgotten the old days of the 20th century where we trained exhaustively to fight and win in a CBRN environment.
Camelbak combined their DuraFlex Barrierâ„¢ material, HydroGuardâ„¢ technology and HydroLinkâ„¢ modular attachment systems to create the new CBR X reservoir. “We design, test and manufacture our hydration systems to perform in the most challenging and lethal environments in the world,” said Sally McCoy, CEO of CamelBak. They introduced their first chemical and biological resistant reservoir in 2000 and while they were issued to several units, CamelBak had never received certification from the Army.
CamelBak has been working with the Army on this for YEARS. They stuck with it through all of the technical challenges and kept up with evolving threats to stay at the cutting edge of Chem-Bio protection technology. Thanks guys.
