Hydration Systems

  • Since pioneering wearable hydration systems in the early 1990s, we have continuously advanced polymer technologies and structural design to redefine the category. Our proprietary co-extruded polymer films provide exceptional taste neutrality, durability, and resistance to biofilm buildup. The development of wide-opening reservoir architecture transformed cleaning, filling, and drying processes, eventually becoming the global industry benchmark
  • Advanced valve systems and flow optimization engineering ensure reliable hydration under movement, pressure, and extreme environmental conditions. Each element is designed to withstand repeated compression, heat exposure, and rugged operational use

Innovation & Technological Leadership

Our hydration systems are engineered for desert heat, jungle humidity, alpine cold, and prolonged deployment scenarios. Low-profile reservoir geometry allows integration within ballistic systems without compromising ergonomics. High-flow delivery mechanisms ensure rapid hydration without interrupting movement.

By reducing maintenance requirements and preserving water purity over time, our systems directly support sustained operational performance

Engineering for Extreme Environments

Our hydration systems are engineered for desert heat, jungle humidity, alpine cold, and prolonged deployment scenarios.

our signature technologies

  • Glass-Like™ Film Technology

    Our multi-layer polyethylene film is 2000% smoother than standard TPU films, making it virtually as smooth as glass. This prevents bio-film buildup and makes the system self-cleaning.

  • Grunge-Guard™ Antimicrobial

    An FDA-approved and EPA-registered antimicrobial agent is integrated into the bladder and tube, inhibiting the growth of bacteria for the life of the system.

  • Taste-Free™ System

    Our high-tech co-extruded film retains the pure taste of water with absolutely no plastic aftertaste.

  • Widepac™ Closure

    Our patented wide-opening slide closure allows for easy filling, cleaning, and drying. It is 100% leak-proof and user-friendly even with gloves.

  • Low Profile Design

    Our "Low Profile" bladders are designed to fit perfectly inside ballistic vests without bulging, ensuring a flat back and better weight distribution for the operator.

  • Patented Storm Valve™

    A unique "no-bite" high-flow valve that offers 25% higher flow than traditional bite valves, featuring an integrated shut-off mechanism.

  • SQC™ (Source Quick Connect)

    Allows for the easy attachment of filters or the refilling of the bladder directly through the tube without removing the system from the vest.

Research, Development & Manufacturing

Our industrial depth is the foundation of our reliability, bridging the gap between advanced R&D and large-scale operational readiness.

  • Technological Leadership: Continuous investment in polymer research and ergonomic flow ensures we maintain a definitive edge in hydration technology.
  • Precision Engineering: Advanced production lines, including automated sealing and injection molding, ensure every product meets exact technical standards.
  • Guaranteed Reliability: Every unit undergoes individual pressure testing and leakage validation to ensure mission-critical performance in the field.

The scale of our manufacturing capabilities supports large military supply programs as well as OEM partnerships with leading global brands.
