If anyone watched Combat Mission the other night, at one point in the show they were wearing small tan or desert camo tactical packs with hydration systems.

Anyone know who makes them or what model they were?

Thanks
 
Howdy,

Here is the story,Blackhawk industries is the supplier.
Click HERE and then click on the COMBAT MISSIONS TV SHOW link on the upper left part of the screen.


There is even a gear list available through that link.

Have fun!

I looked at the Blackhawk site and reviewed the equipment list. I don't think those packs were part of the list, unless the list was just not complete.
 
RT,

I looked at it again, that list does seem pretty short. The scheduals and show reviews are not yet up either. I didn't see the show - was it any good?

Dan
 
Were they any of the packs on this page?

Click me

I e-mailed Blackhawk and Combat Missions - let's see if we get an answer ;)

Have fun!

It was interesting - definately a 'guy' show.

I thought they could have come up with a more impressive start for the first show than the 'take out the tank' maneuver, but I'll probably try to catch some of the other shows as well.
 
Howdy!

I got a reply from Blackhawk. They told me it was a Hydrastorm Predator

Eagle Industries does a lot of military contract work too. The stuff of theirs I really use has held up good and served me well.

I also believe Eagle Industries has the Camelback distribution now. Last time I checked, they had a large Marine contract for basic hydration packs.

I watched it last week and again this week. I always look for cool gear when watching the boob tube. The first thing that went through my mind was what is this a running ad for blackhawk gear? I have to admit that I kinda got into it. I feel that the best teamas are the two teams who had to loose a member. I didnt like the way the other teams bumb rushed the tank and the one team reached the tank without the explosives. I wonder if any of these guys have done much bounding-overwatch. Also dose anyone know why they all keep their packs on for the assualt why not drop ruck and cache. Or was that in some rules that I missed ? Anyone know ?

:D Ha ha ha - yeah, it ain't bad advertising ;)

Missed it again this week - too busy fast roping :D Man- what a great plug for the Hellstorm fastroping gloves - wish mine had come in. I burnt a hole in my work gloves on a 60ft-er with equipment :p

Maybe I'll catch it next week.

Have fun!

Sorry I already have some max-tac gloves and Im not through the outer layer YET. However I will keep blackhawk in mind.
 
No problem

Just to be clear though - it was the issue gloves I burnt a hole in - not the Blackhawk ones.

Do you have a link for max-tac gloves? The wife is looking to expand the product line while I'm deployed this spring and summer, variety is a good thing :)

Sorry Dan I got them from Brigade Quartermaster. I cant find them in their current catalog,dont know if they even carry them anymore I even looked in Ranger Joes and cant find them there. I bet if you do a little surfin you should be able to get a fix on a wholesaler.

good luck.
