It might not be the first name that comes to mind when you think tactical, but it should be. Their products have always been well thought out and tough as nails.<\/p>\n<p>This week, I got a chance to test out the Rubicon version, a 47-Liter monstrosity that goes a step beyond the 72-hour ruck. The Rubicon features plenty of space divided across two main pouches, a small outer pocket on the front for smaller items, and two outside zipper pockets for convenience. If you need to carry more than what fits in the Rubicon, it&#8217;s likely to include mortar rounds.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_76292\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/thumb_IMG_4712_1024.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"check-clays-review-camelbak-rubicon-backpack\" title=\"Check Out Clay's Review of the Camelbak Rubicon Backpack\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-76292\" title=\"Check Out Clay's Review of the Camelbak Rubicon Backpack\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-76292\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/thumb_IMG_4712_1024-400x267.jpg\" alt=\"Check Out Clay's Review of the Camelbak Rubicon Backpack\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/thumb_IMG_4712_1024-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/thumb_IMG_4712_1024-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/thumb_IMG_4712_1024-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/thumb_IMG_4712_1024-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/thumb_IMG_4712_1024.jpg 1086w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-76292\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Rubicon comes in two colors: Coyote and Multicam.<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>Specs<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>COLLECTION: Hydration Plus Cargo<\/li>\n<li>ACTIVITY: Hydration Plus Cargo<\/li>\n<li>USER: Unisex<\/li>\n<li>HYDRATION CAPACITY: 3L\/100 fl oz<\/li>\n<li>HYDRATION TYPE: Mil Spec Antidote Lumbar<\/li>\n<li>BPA\/BPS\/BPF FREE: Yes<\/li>\n<li>QUICK LINK DISCONNECT: Yes<\/li>\n<li>GEAR CAPACITY: 47L\/2868 cu in<\/li>\n<li>PACK WEIGHT: 2.65 kg\/5 lbs 10 oz<\/li>\n<li>DIMENSIONS: 56 x 37 x 33 cm\/21.9 x 14.5 x 13.1 in<\/li>\n<li>HARNESS: 10 mm EVA foam shoulder harness<\/li>\n<li>NUMBER OF EXTERIOR POCKETS: 5<\/li>\n<li>MSRP: $383.00<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Features<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Mil Spec Antidote 3L Lumbar Reservoir stabilizes the water weight on your hips<\/li>\n<li>Composite MOLLE webbing on shoulder harness and internal panel allows additional gear carry<\/li>\n<li>Internal composite MOLLE panel allows you to customize the location of essential gear\/pouches<\/li>\n<li>Contoured back panel and fully-adjustable padded waist belt<\/li>\n<li>Full clamshell opening for easy access to main compartment<\/li>\n<li>Low-profile, padded side pockets protect critical gear<\/li>\n<li>Lower access zipper allows you to quickly stash or grab an item from the main compartment<\/li>\n<li>Deployable internal panel enables the creation of upper\/lower compartments in main cargo<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"attachment_76278\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Rubicon-action-shot.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"check-clays-review-camelbak-rubicon-backpack\" title=\"Check Out Clay's Review of the Camelbak Rubicon Backpack\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-76278\" title=\"Check Out Clay's Review of the Camelbak Rubicon Backpack\" class=\"size-large wp-image-76278\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Rubicon-action-shot-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Check Out Clay's Review of the Camelbak Rubicon Backpack\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Rubicon-action-shot-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Rubicon-action-shot-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Rubicon-action-shot-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Rubicon-action-shot-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Rubicon-action-shot.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-76278\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nothing like walking around in the Idaho hills in 105-degree heat! \u00a0That hydration pouch certainly comes in handy.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The front of the Rubicon, as well as the shoulder straps, feature a composite MOLLE webbing.

The two largest compartments also have mesh zipper pockets, a feature found on several Camelbak products.
