There's a huge discussion on my local forum on whether or not Gatorade can ruin your hydro bladder.
Nice RRV Codemonkey.
Can it though? Someone should test this out. I personally would probably get one if I can safely put stuff like Powerade or Gatorade in it.
It does ruin it. I've tried. Basically, what happens is it gets into the tube and it gets sticky and then it's impossible to clean and it grows mold.
Not good. I don't carry a hydro pack because I hate having the thing slushing around back there, making noise and shifting my weight. Mine ALWAYS leak too and I'm never out too long so I come back and grab a drink. Worst case I throw a bottle into my utility pouch and go.
Codemonkey, how are you liking the RRV? I'm considering trading my MARCIRAS for a Pantac RRV...
Meh, I'm just gonna get myself a canteen.
Can't you just run drink water through it to clean it out?

It's kind of hard to run water through a tube like that, and you really, really should use soap too. It's possible, I cleaned mine out but it never was the same, it always had an odd taste to it.

I love mine, although I prefer to see it as a Medium Duty LBE.
The only thing I wish is for a -little- more MOLLE space. There is enough room after my Mag pouches on each side for one pouch and nothing more really. But it's light, modular (You can fold down the chest plate) carries everything you need and nothing you don't basically.
Where did you get it? I've been looking to something similar to it, how much did it cost for you to get it all set up?
To get it all set up? I couldn't say because those are all pouches I've already had so I don't know $80-$150? for the pouches.
I got my rig for $33 from Air Armory because it's so close so I got next day delivery. They're out of stock now. Kastway has them, but they'll overcharge you $10. ASGI has them but they'll overcharge you $20.

Thanks, ive been looking for something like that for a little while now.
I wish it had found me sooner, I really like it. Overall it's just a really nice platform for the type of games we play. (Short skirmishes)

Yeah, my cheap chestrig does great for what we do, but I wanted something that's a little more...customizable. I heard a little bit about the RRV, then I saw yours and I really liked it.

would this be it?
I actually had to bring with glowsticks last game, we used them for dead rags in the night games.
I don't like the water packs (whatever you call them), they're heavy and uncomfortable. I just carry water bottles in my extra mag pouches like a champ.
