Using your Condor Tidepool Hydration Carrier Bag is a breeze. First, open the clam - shell design to access the bladder. Fill it with your favorite drink up to 1.5L (50 oz). Attach the bag to your plate carrier, making sure it sits well without overhanging. You can use the loop panel to add morale or identification patches. The removable shoulder and sternum strap can be adjusted for a comfortable fit. When it comes to cleaning, empty the bladder and rinse it with mild soap and water. Let it dry completely before refilling. For the bag, wipe it down with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the material. Keep it in a cool, dry place when not in use to ensure its longevity.
