The Source Ultimate M.C. low profile hydration bladder with a volume of 3 liters is compatible with most common hydration systems. The revolutionary UTA Rapid Refill Adapter allows you to refill the contents via a drinking tube without having to remove the bag from your backpack or vest.
The Source Ultimate M.C. hydration system is designed to meet the most demanding requirements of the USMC and to meet demands of FILBE equipment. This low profile bladder features all the benefits of the Source Hydration system. In addition, the UTA Rapid Refill adapter allows you to refill the hydration system on the go, without the need to remove it from a backpack or tactical vest. With a volume of 3 liters, it provides good protection against dehydration even when performing very demanding tasks.
The SOURCE Storm drinking valve rotates 360 degrees for perfect and thus guarantees perfect mouth orientation.
The high-flow push-pull valve ensures sufficient flow effortlessly. The valve can be replaced with a Helix bite type (sold separately). The magnetic clip keeps the drinking tube and valve in place and can be easily attached to a T-shirt, shoulder strap or MOLLE.
The large filling cap can be operated with one hand and is compatible with commonly used personal filtration systems. The cap fits Filbe hydration filler opening. The reservoir can be filled directly through the tube, so there is no need to open or even take the backpack off the back for refilling. The filling time from a 1.5l PET bottle is approx. 50 seconds and the filling time from the tap is 2l in 45 sec with 3l in 1 min 05 sec. The special UTA valve is always automatically disconnected to prevent the reservoir from overfilling.
The valve cover protects the mouthpiece from dirt and Cool Weave technology on the tube insulates and blocks UV-light. This keeps the water cool and prevents the growth of bacteria. The special BPA free plastic does not impart any taste or odor to the liquid and thanks to the smooth inner side it resists the adhesion of dirt and microorganisms. This antibacterial technology, called Grunge-Guard, is a guarantee that even a few months old water in a forgotten hydration bladder will be bacteriologically fine.
