[lets-go-rangers]

I'm looking to buy a CADPAT Hydration pack. Can anyone direct me to a site that sells them?
Does anyone know if the Army Issued Hydration packs are for sale anywhere?

Thanks Jacob...
Not a big fan of CP Gear though.....way too over priced.

Damn Jacob bet me to it, yes you should try ebay, it might be pricey but then you get the real one

 

[lets-go-rangers]

I've never tried Ebay before....perhaps I will give it a shot.
No other on line kit shops or surplus sites??

Don't buy a cheap camelbak wannabe. I know some people who bought them an the bladders broke, poor stitching, etc.


Buy a camelbak, very high quality, you won't be dissapointed.

For dealers, check out

That's true i agree with Mike you should buy the a real one, I have a H.A.W.G. Camelback for 2 years now and i've taken it one Ex's and it works good and so far nothing is wrong with it. It's not CADPAT it's MARPAT

Thanks for the heads up...any idea what the price difference between a real camelbak and one of those knock off's ?  I noticed CPGear was 100.00( with the bladder)

I would just wait out... they are issue them out... refer to Vern on the system...I believe it is at the unit level...I know LFAATC Gagetown has them.. so I hope that helps in a since...

If you still want a CADPAT pack, buy a Camelbak bladder and put it into a CPGear pack. That's what I did and it works great. I've got a pouch attached to the pack with my cleaning kit, water tablets, etc..

One point though, if you go with a CPGear pack and you have a large chest, the sternum strap may be too high for proper use (easily fixed with a sewing machine though).

There is a great surplus store in Mississauga called army issue surplus plus. here is there website www.armyissue.com. I bought one off them and it has worked great for me. The great thing is it is only $50.

I don't like CPgear  cause they use civilian or non mil spec bladders that aren't
guaranteed to stand up to our rigorous activity.

 

[MPSHIELD]

I would have to agree with MikeL. Camelbak in IMHO is way to go. I have 2, one stealth and the issued CADPAT one. I hope they decide to make the Issued Camelbak standard to all troops. (wishful thinking ;D). It is a great durable piece of kit.

I'm not 100% sure but I think the Beaver ones are knock offs although they told me that they've sold a bunch to CF members. I think the flow is going from Beavers to the CF members, not the other way!
