Ok instead of starting a new thread how about I add some more shot show info all in one place.
Blackhawk is introducing two new hydrostorm systems. One is a disposable watter bag and a anti microbial bag. Here is the infor from BH
"Mike Noell, CEO and President of BlackHawk Products Group announced today the introduction of BlackHawks Disposable Reservoir System. BlackHawk has been working with our Military and Law Enforcement customers for the past 8 years to meet their hydration needs. We have continually heard from our customers that they need to ensure clean, pure water is not being contaminated by the bladder itself and to keep users properly hydrated, they needed a convenient system to provide more than just one, 100 oz bladder full of water. They also were looking for ways to make it easy to take a bladder in and out of their pack without re-threading the tube through their equipment each time. In the case of high performance activities, the ability to add nutritional supplements without the burden of cleaning and sanitizing the bladder in the field, explained Noell. In response to this customer feedback, we have completely redesigned our HydraStorm line to be the best in the industry and incorporated its patented Quick-Disconnect Port in to the disposable system as well. The Quick-Disconnect Port serves as not only the connection point to attach the delivery tube, but can also be used as a way to re-fill the disposable bladder so that no fill cap is required, added Noell. "
The Design team came up with a very innovative approach to the disposable bladder. It is intended for low-cost one-time use but can actually be re-used in the field by using the Quick-Disconnect delivery tube,
