British Army Virtus 3L Hydration Pack (With Bladder)
VIRTUS MTP HYDRATION PACK AND BLADDER
Stay hydrated while staying high speed!
This gem of a surplus item is the British Army's answer to keeping the lads hydrated while staying low drag, high speed. Staying snug in a pack, on your pack, or on a plate carrier, the thin low profile of the Virtus Hydration Pack and Bladder blends into its surroundings in its state of the art MTP camo colouring. Contracted by the British Armed forces with the company “Source,” this item is part of His Majesty's “Virtus” modernization program. According to the British Ministry of Defence “Virtus is one of the most advanced integrated body armour, helmet and load carriage systems in the world.” With above a ninety percent approval rating from troops who have used it, it has quickly become the standard kit for British soldiers, with 52,000 units alone ordered in the year 2019. This hydration pack and bladder is is but one of the many components of the Virtus kit, and for an honest price, you can begin or continue building the perfect set of kit.

●Make sure to remove the Hydration system’s internals including the hydration bladder! Not sure why, but we read it on the tag sewn inside the jacket, which you should probably check for a full set of washing instructions as soon as possible post-purchase.
