When a guy wants to head out into the woods loaded for bear, he'd best be wearing a full-on backpack hydration system like this. Because the Canyon can handle up to 1,420 cubic inches of cargo in addition to 100 ounces of water.

Now while this pack is making a lot of noise in the hydration industry, it's stone cold silent out in the field. Thanks to the quiet, water-resistant fabric we use. And it'll ride in daylong comfort on your back. Because our straps are broad and comfortable. Plus, the semi-rigid beverage reservoir is contoured to fit your back.

The inexperienced hiker might think it odd for someone to be a preoccupied with how they're going to keep their hydration system clean. But one bad experience with the foul taste of bacteria is enough to make anybody obsessive. It's for those "experienced" folks that Gerber developed the Liquifusion™ reservoir and put it inside the Canyon XC.

Our reservoir is the only one on the market that can go in the dishwasher. Which means that tedious post-hike cleanings are officially a thing of the past.

Ever find yourself gazing at your hunting gear in the off season, longing to be out in the field? Well the Epoch backpack hydration system is precisely the kind of gear that inspires those feelings. It was born to hunt.

The Epoch is one rugged customer when put to the test. Yet it's capable of being very quiet, thanks to the low-noise fabric Gerber uses. Plus, the side pockets are very accessible, and the zippers are super-easy to grip.

Prior to the arrival of Gerber's Epoch XC (and its companion Gerber hydration products), backpackers had a monkey on their collective back. That being, how the heck are you supposed to keep the darned reservoir clean?

Well, Gerber answers that question in a most unexpected way: In the dishwasher. Because with our patent-pending Liquifusion™ reservoir system, you can just pitch that puppy right in the machine with the knives and forks. No more tedious brushings. No more bad results.

When our pack designers set out to craft a specialized hydration system for serious hunters, they knew better than to settle for simply being stealthy. So they engineered one that can be worn in four different configurations. (And yes, the pack walls are made of a nearly silent fabric.)

Option #1: Hydration pack alone. Option #2: Waist pack with harness. Option #3: Waist pack alone. Option #4: All pieces worn together.

Here's a crackerjack hydration pack for those occasions when you'll be out there for a good chunk of the day. Because the Medal XC has 316 cubic inches of cargo capacity. And that's in addition to the 70-ounce Liquifusion™ reservoir, our patent-pending design that is totally safe to go in the dishwasher.

That's right. After years of struggling to keep your reservoirs clean enough to drink from, all the hassle is officially over. Just perch the Liquifusion™ reservoir right there in the bottom rack next to your favorite cereal bowl. And if it won't stand up, position things so that a water jet squirts in the opening.

Okay, friends. Raise your bite values in salute to the hard-working souls who earn their pay in hazardous conditions...where it's important to be seen when on scene. For them Gerber proudly offers the Reserve FTR. A lightweight, 70-ounce hydration pack made of flame retardant fabric.

No big surprise, but the Reserve FTR is pretty much plastered with 3M® reflective tape. Which all but assures that if someone's looking for you, they'll see you.

Any trail hiker worth his salt knows that staying hydrated is central to having a blast. And, that there are more than few hydration systems to choose from these days. So it's time you appreciated why the Gerber Reserve XC blows by the others in terms of performance.

It's our patent-pending Liquifusion™ reservoir. The first and only hydration system reservoir that can go directly into the dishwasher. Uh huh. Gone are the days of meticulous hand brushing and dubious results.

Here's how to carry 100 ounces of energy-restoring liquids in the field of combat without complication or compromise. The Evader Military backpack hydration system rides securely on your back, with a highly functional bite valve right on your shoulder, ready to replenish you.

The heart of the Evader is Gerber's patent-pending semi-rigid reservoir design, called Liquifusion™. It's made from the same plastic you find in milk jugs, so it retains its shape whether empty or full. More importantly, the reservoir is contoured to follow the anatomy of your back. This maximizes your comfort while preventing load shifting.

The number one rule of hunting is to stay quiet, so the critters won't realize you're around. That's why we engineered the Reserve Hunt hydration system to be super-silent in the field...whether you're walking a fencerow, stalking the rim rocks or perching in a tree stand. We use fabric that won't rustle with your movements, so your whereabouts remain a secret.

But the hydration system inside that water-resistant fabric is no less valuable to the success of your hunt. Because Gerber's patent-pending 70 ounce Liquifusion™ reservoir is re-writing the rules of backpack hydration. Its semi-rigid construction and anatomically contoured design combine to maximize comfort and prevent load shifting.

If it's not unusual to find yourself on the scene of an emergency for three or four hours, consider making the Medal FTR your hydration pack of choice. Because this well-crafted piece of gear can accommodate 316 cubic inches of must-have gear...protected by a fire retardant pack fabric.

Your safety and visibility is further enhanced by our abundant use of 3M® reflective tape, which is pretty darned hard to miss, even amid the most confusing scenarios.
