Rider is SOURCE's premier low profile hydration system,.It is designed specifically for ballistic vest integration yet quickly converts for back carriage or ruck insertion. Maximum utilization of our low profile technology greatly reduces the depth of the carrier making it a true low profile system.

X attachment

The Rider carrier attaches to the vest using the integrated X-QCA™ buckle system. Unlike other systems, the X-QCA™ attaches diagonally and won’t loosen as water is consumed and reservoir volume changes. The X-QCA™ enables the user to position the pack optimally.
