The Emerson Gear Yote Hydration Assault Pack is a compact, well-organised pack for players who want water, spare layers and kit to hand without carrying a full rucksack. It works as a standalone daypack or mounted on the back of a plate carrier.
It is made from 500D Cordura, which is abrasion and water-resistant, so it copes well with hedges and rough ground. The padded shoulder straps adjust and carry a chest strap and two D-rings, and they can be removed so the pack mounts to a plate carrier with its MOLLE straps. Inside the main compartment is a mesh pocket for a water bladder, with three ports for a drinking tube or antenna. Outside there are three pouches, one on the beavertail and one on each side, for gloves, tools, a torch or maps. The beavertail opens up to reveal a further zip pocket and a mesh pocket, a handy spot for a helmet or waterproofs. Six compression straps keep the load tight. For a slimmer carrier-mounted option, see the Emerson Gear AVS/JPC Zip On Back Pack.
