Noctis Africa Expert Insight
BUY IF
- You want a compact, low-profile hydration carrier that doesn't crowd out MOLLE space on your carrier or back panel.
- You want a free row of MOLLE webbing on either side of the carrier for running comms cables or mounting small accessories.
NOT IDEAL IF
- You need genuine 3-litre hydration capacity for extended patrols.
CONSIDER
-
Warrior Hydration Carrier Gen2 (3L) if you need more water capacity for longer days out.
Product Overview
Warrior's Small Hydration Carrier is designed to be compact and low-profile, accommodating a Camelbak 50oz/1.5L bladder or alternative. The internal walls are lined with a black thermal lining to help maintain the cooling of liquids inside.
It attaches to all Warrior plate carriers and back panels via 2 MOLLE arms. Note: this is the outer carrier only — it does not include the bladder or hydration tube.
Construction
The carrier's MOLLE webbing runs in 3 rows, positioned sub-central on the face of the carrier. This layout leaves a free row of webbing on either side — useful for routing comms cables or mounting small accessories without competing with the carrier's main loadout.
