Sorry.. IBA = Interceptor Body Armor


This is the one I have, but in woodland. The pouches are good for Power Bars or other small accessories... GPS, food, first aid.

Mine is a 2 liter black camelbak that I believe was made for bike riding. We went with that one because it left room for the buttpack that holds that ammunition and it sticks to your back like glue when you're rolling around between trenches with hundreds of rounds flying above your head.

Sorry I can't tell you for sure which one I have... don't exactly have the tag on it anymore.

Alright found it. My team uses the "Camelbak Lobo"



Ours doesn't have yellow on it, it's black. I have nothing to say but good things about that camelbak, it sticks to my back and carries enough water... believe me running paintball as hard as we do in June Texas heat requires A LOT of water. We did have a special need that I'm sure you don't have though. Unlike the full back design like Team_Infidel uses, ours had to be compatible with this buttback.



So we wear the buttback around our waists and ours are actually even bigger, housing 9 tubes of 140 paintballs. So the Camelbak we chose had to fit under that buttpack so it wouldn't interfere with the ammo tubes and the Lobo fit the bill perfectly.

Another feature of the Lobo that really helps out is the little pouch at the bottom. My team uses GMRS radios with headsets so we stick the radio in the pouch at the bottom and run the headset out into our masks so we can talk to eachother without having the radio on our front where we can fall on it when diving or on the hip where it can fall off.

So that's why we went with the Lobo from Camelbak.

Thats the awesome thing about Camelbak, they have a Hydration System for everyone.

I would like to buy ThermoBak 3L. Any comments about it? Thanks! http://www.eagleindustries.com/MainP...21&SubCatID=64

I am not sure. Would I buy a CamelBak with just hydration or a CamelBak with hydration and space to store things? Which is better, a CamelBak with the screwcap seen outside or one with a hidden screw cap?

Well I'd go with the MULE, it has space, but if your not using it it doesn't burden you.

I thought of buying the below bag! Any comments on it? BTW is a biting valve better? and the tube, if it is covered, is it more protected?

Thats an awesome system, I have it in a different color. Yes the bite valve is better, it provides a stopper from leaking water. The tube is pretty thick, but the reason it's covered is to keep the water cold, and it does keep it cold. For hours.
