RAP4 Camelback Hydration Pack
Keep hydrated with RAP4's camelback hydration pack, that is... if it doesn't rip first.
Over Oklahoma D-Day I picked up an RAP4 hydration pack and bladder for a measly $25, mostly because I couldn't afford the other $60 hydration packs floating around at the event. Big mistake. I'm a little ashamed with myself because I shrugged off other players warnings about this water pack.
First of all the same day I bought it the bottom started to fray... secondly, it doesn't seal very well so it leaked all over my back (not the point of a hydration pack).
Thirdly... the blasted mouthpiece at the end of the hose didn't have a hole in it. I spent 5 minutes wondering how I was supposed to drink water out of something that was completely sealed, only to realize that they forgot to put a hole 
in it. The hydration hose also liked to come out of the clips and dangle everywhere while I was playing, which also got very annoying.
I've heard many players out there only say good things about the tactical vests RAP4 makes, which made it even more surprising for me to find their camelbacks suck.
I guess the "Made in China" sticker on the outside of the packaging should have been enough of a warning.
Moral of the story is, If you are going to buy a hydration pack for those long games, make sure it isn't an RAP4 one.
