The Source ILPS 3L low profile hydration bladder and UTA are perfect for integration into a ballistic vest or tactical hydration pack. Once placed inside a vest or pack, the revolutionary UTA Rapid Refill Adapter allows refill of the bladder directly through the drinking tube without needing to remove the bladder.
ILPS is Source’s latest low profile hydration bladder reservoir design. Conceived for ballistic vest integration, this hydration reservoir holds 2L when inserted in a ballistic vest, and 3L in a pack. A 100 oz hydration bladder might sound large, yet thanks to the low-profile technology which reduces the depth of the carrier, your Source water bladder will be barely noticeable inside your ballistic vest or tactical hydration pack.
Low profile also means low maintenance in this instance. With the UTA Rapid Refill Adapter, you don’t even need to remove the bladder from your pack or vest when needing to refill it. Simply attach the UTA, refill your bladder from the drinking tube, and continue to enjoy your hands-free drinking.
