Product Overview
Keep water within reach without dedicating your whole pack to it. The Rothco MOLLE Quickstrike Tactical Hydration Backpack combines a bladder-ready main compartment with separate storage for small essentials and front-mounted MOLLE loops for additional gear. It suits airsoft players who want hydration between objectives, as well as hikers, runners, and cyclists looking for a compact pack.
Choose Your Hydration Hose Route
The expandable, zippered main compartment accepts Rothco’s 2.5L Hydration Bladder, item #2811. The bladder is sold separately, so you will need to add it to create a working hydration system. The hose can exit through the top of either shoulder strap, letting you choose the side that works best with your other equipment or preferred drinking position.
Elastic loops and D-rings on the padded shoulder straps provide points for securing the hose rather than leaving it loose as you move. Quick-release buckle straps at the chest and waist help stabilize the pack during active use, while the buckles make it easier to release those straps when taking the pack off.
Separate Storage for the Small Things
A front zippered compartment keeps everyday essentials separate from the bladder area. Inside, a key clip gives your keys a dedicated attachment point, and two mesh pockets help organize smaller items instead of letting everything collect at the bottom. For an airsoft outing, that separation is useful for keeping small field accessories accessible without opening the main compartment.
The front compartment also carries a 4 x 4 arrangement of MOLLE loops for attaching compatible gear. Above it, a loop field provides space for a morale patch. These give you ways to personalize the pack’s organization and appearance without changing its basic layout.
Pack Measurements and Construction

Back pads add cushioning and encourage airflow where the pack rests against you, helping with comfort during longer periods of wear.

With its compact dimensions and hydration-focused layout, the Quickstrike is best considered for water and smaller essentials rather than as a large equipment-hauling backpack.
