This is a staight line valve that provides a positive on-off to the hydration system in the hunting vest. The Bite Valve is designed to be used with the Camelbak but will operate fine without it. It will produce a faster flow without the Bite Valve. Using the Hydrolok allows the hunter to turn the water off while not being worn which prevents inadvertent leak.. The Siphon Tube, however, needs the Bite Valve to work while filling the hunting vest's hydration sytem.

Allows you to carry your gun Hands-Free !!! A short strap is attached to the gun in front of the forend. The buttstock slides inside the rear corner of the gamebag and the strap crossed over behind your neck and then secures to the shoulder strap with Velcro. The guns weight goes to the gamebag and transfers to the waist where it is almost unnoticeable. This doesn't allow for quick shooting and is mostly of interest for pointing dog guys that know well ahead of time that they will have a shooting opportunity. Also great if you know you will have to walk long distances with no shooting.

This sleeve is attached to your vest's off shooting shoulder strap. The old round Tritronics transmitter slides into the sleeve and is secured with a strap across the top. The buttons are accessable and can be operated while on the shoulder. The whole thing can be removed when not in use or required.

This is designed for the new G2 series of round transmitters. It features a sleeve that holds the bottom of the transmitter and the antenae is contained under a strap on the hunting vest's shoulder strap. Some of the G2 series transmitters have a button at the back of the transmitter. This unit will allow access to operate all the buttons on the transmitter while it is in its sleeve. It can be removed when not in use.

Using the Siphon Tube is the easiest way to fill your hydration system with water. If you order an hydration system with your Quilomene hunting vest or San Carlos hunting vest the Siphon Tube is included. The Siphon Tube is a 7 foot lenght of tubing with a barbed splicer on one end. To use place one end of the Tube in your water container and suck water into the tube and lower the end to set up the siphon. Lay your hunting vest on the ground or lower than the water container and insert the splicer end of the tube into the Bite Valve of the hydration system. Now get your gear and your dog ready to go and by the time you are done with that, your hydration system will be full. It's by far the easiest way to fill your system because you don't have to dig the hydration system out of the hunting vest,.and you can get more water into it this way than through the main opening of the hydration system.

This accessory is installed at the top of the left shell pocket and it holds the tube for easy access. It is included when you order a hydration system with your Quilomene or San Carlos hunting vest. The Tube Trap is installed at the top of the left shell pocket and holds the tube for easy access. The tube from the hydration system routes out the left side of the gamebag and to the front and then clips back through the tube trap. From this location it is easy to water your dog and yourself. The hydration system tube can also be routed out the right side of the gamebag and the Tube Trap moved to the right shell pocket.

This system is the main hydration system for the Quilomene hunting vest.. When ordered with a Quilomene Vest it also includes a siphon tube for filling the system and a Tube Trap on the hunting vest's shell pocket to hold the feed tube. At a 120 oz. it will hold almost a gallon of water which is ample for most hunts. Need to carry less water? Fill it as much as you need.

Bird Hunting Vest with Hydration Systems.

This is the main hydration system for the San Carlos Vest. It features a large and easy access Zip Lok type opening on top. When filled to full capacity with the siphon tube it will actually hold about 72 oz. which is just over half a gallon. Like the Quilomene hunting vest, the feed tube routes out of the left side of the gamebag and to the Tube Trap on the top of the shell pocket. This system also fits into the top cargo pocket on the back of the Quilomene hunting vest. It would be used as a second hydration sytem only, but will increase the capacity of the Quilomene hunting vest to 192 oz. This capacity is needed for some Chukar hunters and other hunters who hunt dry country for long hours. It can also be filled with liquids other than water for the hunter such as Gatorade etc. Remember on those long hunts it is also very important to keep yourself well hydrated as well as the dog. In this use the feed tube routes out of the top of the vest with the shoulder strap and clips to the shoulder strap in front. With the large Zip Lok type opening it is also easy to fill with ice and liquid for cool refreshment. If, however, you do use sugared drinks it will be important to rinse and dry the sytem to keep things from growing inside the hydration bladder. This system includes a bite valve.
