Im looking for a military style back with hydration. I found one at the gun show yesterday but it was pretty small. Looking to spend $100 or less. Any websites in particular I should be looking at? also looking for a chest rig to carry mags, found one on cheaper than dirt for $29 Have any suggestions and which one would be the best choice for not a lot of money? Thanks!

Quality gear is important.

In your price range, I'd look for surplus stuff as opposed to new, cheaply made, copies of quailty gear.


A $20 Swedish Army Issue rucksack will do you alot better then a $60 chinese copy os an Eagle/Becker patrol pack.

Why not buy a surplus Alice pack and either put your hydration bladder inside the radio pouch on the ruck or wear your camelbak under your ruck.  As long as you have the camelbak adjusted right so it won't be too high on your shoulders and place it between the pack and the kidney pad  you will be fine with that setup.

Excellent point. The Swedes make indestructable cordura packs for $20 surplus. I have slid my water bladder on the inside pocket of my pack and run the hose out from it.
