SPARTA & MOTHERLODE with Mil Spec Crux Lumbar Reservoir
CamelBak unveiled two new packs designed and built around the Mil Spec Crux Lumbar Reservoir at AUSA 2018: SPARTA and MOTHERLODE. The Mil Spec Crux Lumbar Reservoir takes an entirely new approach to where the soldier carries their water, by moving the water weight low and onto the hips. By lowering the reservoir location, the user is able to improve their centre of gravity. The MOTHERLODE and SPARTA come in 40l (20.9×13.4×12.2in/53x34x31cm at 4lbs/1.8kg) and 33l (19.7×12.2x11in/50x31x28cm) at 3.6lbs/1.6kg) cargo capacities respectively and each feature the 3l Mil Spec CRUX Lumbar Reservoir (delivering 25% more water per sip compared to the current CamelBak Mil Spec ANTIDOTE Reservoir; also featuring the patented BIG BITE valve with a self-sealing single-piece silicone design) with zippered back panel access that makes loading and unloading the reservoir into the hydration compartment easy even if the pack is full of gear.
New laser-cut MOUNTAIN M.O.L.L.E. panels provide an easy to use secure attachment locations for additional accessory pouches. Both packs use 500D double-rip Invista Cordura fabric for the ultimate combination of strength, weight and durability.
