I'm trying to locate the company that makes the hydration carrier that the Marine Recon are being issued. It seems to go right along with their Eagle Industries CIRAS vests and the rest of the issue system. I believe that the soldiers in the screen saver section of this site where they are charging across the street to kill haji are wearing them. As far as I can tell, it is Coyote Brown/ khaki in color, laces directly to the vest, doesn't have any MOLLE strips on the sides or back, has the main bladder pocket with a zipper closer at top and a zipper closed 1/2 hight pocket at the bottom. It also appears to have two straps with fastex buckels that go around the carrier and all of the zippers have string/cloth pulltabs with two black plastic keepers on them. If any of you out there have any ideas please let me know. Thanks, Semper Fi.

I know what you're talking about- the pack is the hydration carrier made by Allied Sewing for Natick. The pack is part of the MBSS (maritime ballistic survival sysem?) kit.
Thats a lot of names but practically speaking, if you want to get our hand on one and aren't issued one, your best option is to buy the copy made by Diamondbacktactical:
