INVISTA's CORDURA Fabric Featured in New CamelBak LinchpinTM Tactical Hydration Pack

Series Incorporates Exceptionally Durable 500D CORDURA Classic Fabric for Light Weight Versatility

2010-10-02

WICHITA, KS, October 02, 2010 (Press-News.org) INVISTA's CORDURA brand has once again teamed with CamelBak , the originator and a world leader in hands-free hydration systems, to produce an exceptionally light weight yet highly versatile hydration pack for all-day excursions. The Linchpin tactical hydration pack, the newest addition to the CamelBak Maximum Gear line, is a fully integrated hydration system featuring all the key elements that both CamelBak and CORDURA fabric are known for.

Featuring 500D CORDURA Classic fabric, war fighters using the Linchpin hydration pack have a lightened load while still carrying the same amount of gear. The 500D CORDURA Classic fabric has a tighter weave and is 35 percent lighter (per square yard) than standard 1000D CORDURA Classic fabric, making this an extremely durable yet versatile tactical pack for carrying ammunition, cargo and hydration.

"Known for its lighter weight solution combined with renowned CORDURA brand durability, 500D CORDURA Classic fabric provides the reliability and high quality performance that the infantry soldier needs for focusing on all-day missions," said Cindy McNaull, global CORDURA brand and marketing director. "We are truly honored that the Linchpin pack, the latest in CamelBak hydration innovation, turned to CORDURA brand fabric for cutting edge performance where durability truly counts."

The Linchpin features multiple external and side pockets designed to carry up to three M16 magazines each, a glasses or goggle pocket, compressible overflow storage, an outer flat map pocket, and an internal organization pocket. Other features include underarm tube routing, dual antenna ports, top grab handle and a hook-and-loop panel for the hassle-free removal of nametags and unit badges.

Along with a separate insulated hydration compartment, the Linchpin features the Futura Harness by Mystery Ranch that allows the user to custom fit the pack to their specific torso height. The pack measures 19.5-by-18-by-14.5 inches, holds a 3-liter reservoir and comes in three colors: army universal camo, coyote or MultiCam .

The Linchpin was released May 2010 and is available on GSA contract GS07F-9727H, at Exchanges and all usual CamelBak Maximum Gear distribution outlets.
