MOLLE Hydration Bag MFH 2.5 Litres — OD

Hydration carrier with PALS attachment designed for those who integrate water capacity into an existing MOLLE system: plate carrier, tactical pack or chest rig. With 2.5 litres of volume and dimensions of 46x18x3 cm, it occupies a modest PALS column and suits patrols, hunting trips or operational use without adding bulk to the side profile.

The PALS attachment system with two modular straps distributes the weight of a full bag — approximately 2.5 kg of water alone — across multiple points on the panel, preventing it from hanging from a single anchor point. The adjustable shoulder strap allows the bag to be carried separately from the carrier, over the shoulder, when the main vest is not worn. The flexible tube with valve lets you drink without detaching the bag from its mount: a clear advantage when both hands are occupied.

The slim profile (3 cm depth) is the main trade-off of this solution: the bag slots easily even onto carriers already loaded with pouches, but for the same reason it should not be mounted where the panel is already saturated with layers, as the valve may become difficult to reach. The 100% polyester material is lightweight and dries quickly, but requires more attention when cleaning the reservoir compared to rigid containers.

Key points

• 2.5-litre capacity accessible one-handed via the valve tube, without opening or unclipping the bag.
• Dual PALS straps distribute the weight of the water across multiple panel points, reducing swing during movement.
• 3 cm profile compatible with carriers and packs already in use, without protruding or interfering with adjacent pouches.
• Included adjustable shoulder strap: the bag also works detached from the main carrier, worn over the shoulder.
• Lightweight, quick-drying polyester suited to extended outdoor use.
