Camelbak. Where to purchase?

[JDMCRX]

Ive asked a few guys around and they tell me you only get it on deployment. Ive seen a few guys running around with them. Ive looked on here and CP gear.Ive googled it, Where else is it availble to buy ?



(Moderator edit to correct spelling of "Camelbak" in thread title.)

Which camelbaks are you talking about? The issued CADPAT ones?


For all other Camelbak purchases you can get them at ANY military or surplus stores.

www.sealsactiongear.com

or just GOOGLE it. There, I just gave you a Canadian retailer, but what the hey, I'll throw in another one for you

I'm partial to Dave's Surplus myself. https://dstactical.com/

ETA: Whoops. MedTech just posted it. Guess they changed their site address.

Dealers of Camelbak are getting fewer as Camelbak is cracking down on US distributors selling to Canadian dealers.

R Nicholls technically has the Canadian exclusive, and Camelbak wants to protect and support them, but many of us dealers refuse to deal with Nicholls and found other sources.  I believe though that SEALS and Daves Surplus are two other options that are still getting Camelbaks if you need one.

We are in talks with Camelbak right now to see what we can come up with to continue to supply the Canadian market as Eagle was supplying us, but will no longer do so.

If you have a problem getting one I highly recommend sending an email to Camelbak and let them know.

On the other side though we continue to bring in more Tactical Assault Gear packs with the "Source" hydration bladders.

The Canex here carries them. I don't know if they all do though.

I don't recall seeing them in Valcartier's Canex.

The Canex here carries them. I don't know if they all do though.

I've only seen cheap knock-offs in Canices, never genuine Camelbaks.

 

[JDMCRX]

Ok thanks guys. Yeah i looked at the canex here in pet and nothing there. Ill look at the sites. As i posted i did google. it and all i found was the cheap knock off or the US digicad.

Thanks guys

I am looking for a ORIG camel back in cadpad so i can attach it to the TV. I only find these ones

.

I see that most companies carrie the Camel pack carring packs has anyone tried this on the TV and hows the fitment?

If your looking strictly for a "tactical" model, E- bay has them all and decent prices,but watch out for shipping.Various Kit shops carry them,or you could order direct off the CamelBak website(they'll redirect you to an authorized dealer).If E-bay or cross border shopping is not your thing, SIRMailorder.com is another option.Although they don't have the tactical line,they do have a good selection of hunting/hiking camelbaks.They also offer COD,which is rather nice,and they are an established Canadian company,But don't delay,the rumor is they have been bought up by Cabelas and are in the process of changing ownership.

I've found that if ,only wearing the TV,just wearing underneath the vest is the most comfortable,and the best way to stay under the radar.
If your wearing a ruck,the 2 options I use are either stick the bladder in the top pouch or have your ruck "wear" your camelbak,and secure it using the reducing straps on the top and sides of your ruck.

 

[JDMCRX]

Ok im gonna shot over a email to camelbak

Cause i went to supply and they tell me only people on deployment are getting them. I usualy put the 7L pack on my TV with some kit on it. but somedays would be nice to put the camel pack on there cause when i wear the Ruck over the 7L pack i can not feel it there.

So basicly your saying slap the camelbak on the top of the ruck .

 

[gun plumber]

You got it.So far(knocks on wood)nobody has said a thing to me about it.If you need pics,I can post them.

 

[JDMCRX]

Yes would be nice to see some pics if possible. Im a visual person If you do not mind

[riggermade]

If you get one at a good price you can always have a cover made for it

I've made a few and they are pretty simple to do

 

[JDMCRX]

Yeah thats another thing i was looking at doing problem is were do you get the CADPAD material at 

 

[riggermade]

I have cadpat

 

[JDMCRX]

And your in pet to.

How much do i need. Cause worse comes to worse my buddy has a Black camelbak i can take off him just make a new pouch for it. Cut the material and sew it all up
