Pro 20 Purpose<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The HAWG Pro 20 was purpose-built as a bicycle pack, to keep bike types hydrated on the trail. There are all kinds of awesome new features, like mesh straps, a magnetic straw holder for hands-free drinking, and a helmet-holding strap system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also has a high airflow back panel, which keeps an air pocket between the ruck and you, a huge gain in heat reduction. It has reflective material built in as a safety measure, and does any of that sound like it belongs in the <em>GunsAmerica Digest <\/em>tactical column? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No. Which is the point.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_1815-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"HAWG Pro 20 magnetic tube holder\" class=\"wp-image-153633\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_1815-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_1815-400x300.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_1815-150x113.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_1815-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_1815-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_1815-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Magnetic tube holder.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>I like this HAWG Pro 20 for exactly that reason. It is the lowest profile option I have seen yet, for being able to carry a reasonable amount of \u201cstuff\u201d under the radar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reflective bits alone rule it out as being seen as \u201ctactical,\u201d and we chose the color Gunmetal specifically over the color black. This ruck is fantastic for two semi-tactical tasks, without drawing attention.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_1816-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-153634\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_1816-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_1816-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_1816-113x150.jpeg 113w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_1816-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_1816-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_1816-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Held in place.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-i-like-low-profile\">What I Like: Low Profile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first reason I like this option is for a bit of low-profile ruck training.

I\u2019m not saying you need to be commando fit. But I am saying it helps in <em>ANY<\/em> kind of crisis to have a little cardio and be capable of moving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">READ MORE: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/grey-ghost-slimline-medical-pouch\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hawg-pro-20-urban-camouflage-2\" title=\"Stealth and Hydration: The Unexpected Versatility of CamelBak's HAWG Pro 20\">Grey Ghost Slimline Medical Pouch<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_1817-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"HAWG Pro 20 mesh straps\" class=\"wp-image-153635\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_1817-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_1817-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_1817-113x150.jpeg 113w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_1817-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_1817-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_1817-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Mesh straps.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The HAWG Pro 20 lets you carry a little bit of weight, anywhere, without looking like a fruit loop. Training with your real bug-out bag is maybe fine, or maybe not, environment-dependent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if you want to fly under the radar, this little guy is exactly what you need. It has onboard already a 100 oz hydration pouch, which weighs about 6 pounds. It easily has room for another or an equivalent in whatever you have laying around.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fifteen pounds or so might not be ideal \u201cprep for Elite Forces selection via cross country orienteering\u201d training, but it is enough to make a difference. And a very good starting point if you are not accustomed to carrying a ruck.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_1820-1-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"HAWG Pro 20 with all of its cargo space\" class=\"wp-image-153638\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_1820-1-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_1820-1-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_1820-1-113x150.jpeg 113w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_1820-1-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_1820-1-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_1820-1-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">MSRP is $<a href=\"https:\/\/www.camelbak.com\/recreation\/shop\/packs\/bike\/h.a.w.g.-pro-20-100oz\/CB-2400.html?utm_source=GunsAmerica\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hawg-pro-20-urban-camouflage-2\" title=\"Stealth and Hydration: The Unexpected Versatility of CamelBak's HAWG Pro 20\">170<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-camelbak-or-holster\">CamelBak or Holster?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The second reason I like the HAWG Pro 20 also has to do with its ability to be stealthy. Everyone knows what a CamelBak is, and the big blue straw sticking out the front should clue them in if it doesn\u2019t. Particularly where it is hot, a CamelBak seems a reasonable accessory for anything you are doing outdoors.&nbsp;Flea market, county fair, outdoor concert series- it doesn\u2019t look out of place. And most people are not going to give a second thought to what else might be in that bag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And since those same events are also potential targets for crime and terrorism, it might very well be in your interest to have some more than normal gear on hand. With the 100-ounce hydration bladder, the HAWG Pro 20 is still capable of carrying a legit amount of spare cargo. Our test model easily took 6 pistol magazines, a Blue Force Gear IFAK, and our own large first aid kit, and still had room to spare.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_1819-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-153639\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_1819-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_1819-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_1819-113x150.jpeg 113w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_1819-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_1819-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG_1819-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Additional mesh-sided pocket.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hawg-pro-20-conclusion\">HAWG Pro 20 Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The HAWG Pro 20 is as grey as it gets and covers a wide variety of roles.
