The system has proven itself on many battlefields so conditions of normal use during, for example, hiking on mountain trails do not pose any challenge to it. This is a high-quality product that will perform for years to come.

Carrying bag

The tank transport bag does not have shoulder straps because it is designed to be transported on vests and backpacks using, for example, the Molle attachment system. The outer layer of the carrying bag is made of a combination of high quality, durable materials : Nylon, Cordura 500D, while the filling of the bag is made of Nylon 210 and insulation foam.

Construction of the behemoth

The WXP tank was made using 3 co-extruded polyethylene layers where Taste-Free technology was used, thanks to which the transferred water does not transfer the taste of the plastic and allows you to enjoy the natural taste of chilled water. BPA-free product. In addition, the surface of the dish is equipped with foil Glass-Like™, which is 2000% smoother and its structure is practically no different from glass. Additional grunge-Guard system prevents biofilm formation, which makes the system virtually self-cleaning and maintenance-free.

The beaker tube is specially protected and insulated against heat and UV rays so that the water inside the vessel remains cold and free of harmful bacteria.

Mouthpiece

The reservoir is equipped with push/pull Storm Valve™ mouthpiece with a built-in shut-off mechanism and a "no bite" system that provides a 25% faster water flow compared to traditional bite-type mouthpieces. To ensure cleanliness and hygiene, the mouthpiece of the tank has a a special Dirt Shield™ mouthpiece protector, which prevents dirt and dust from getting inside it.

With the WPX 2.5L irrigation system we gain access to water in any situation and the comfort of use getting rid of the need to take off your gear each time to refill fluids. This irrigation system is very lightweight and compact which is a great advantage during tactical operations. In addition to its small size, it surprises with its functionality.

The quick-release coupling with automatic sealing used in this model allows you to remove the inner tube and valve without leaking, even when the reservoir is full. This makes it easier to attach filters and other accessories, and provides easy handling for inserting the reservoir into the backpack.
