hydrastorm predator

[Spinnerblade]

Hello everyone,I ordered the predator pack from Alternate Force a little over a week ago and it arrived yesterday. I haven't had a chance to use it, but it looks very well made and it should do all I need it to. This one is desert camo,100oz.reservoir,and 830 cubic inches.I got it mainly for hunting and short hikes from the truck while out shooting. I might take it fishing if it starts to seem really handy. Can anyone that has one of these or an H.A.W.G. (which seems very similar)recomend any cool accesories that might be useful? Anyway the pack was $99.99 + 8.00 shipping and the shipping label said Blackhawk Industries. The Alternate Force site was under a Yahoo banner if that means anything(I thought it might be more reliable),my pack showed up and I'm happy. Patrick

I'm looking to get a tube insulator for mine, just so it won't condensate everywhere, and maybe if I start camping more then an inline filter. Those seem like the two coolest accessories to me.

I've had many different Camelbac products and liked most of them. The Hydrastrom line is Blackhawk's version of these. BH used to sell Camelbac (which explains so many specops troops seen wearing them), but they decided to do it themselves. While I've not had any of the Hydrastorms I have plenty of BH gear and would expect any of their products to be tough.

A tube insulator and the additional valve that goes between the bite valve and the tube are good accessories. Consider a reflective mylar sleeve, also.

Thanks for the replies. The one I recieved had the insulated tube cover and shut off valve already installed. Does anyone know if the mylar cover works well enough to pay 30 bucks for it? Patrick
