Bit of a unicorn these days, that took me over a year to get hold of one in good condition. Only flogging it as I've got a chance at another pack I've been after for a long time.

This is a collaboration between Camelbak and Mystery Ranch to build a small patrol pack with the awesome Mystery Ranch Futura Yoke (adjusts for height etc) - pretty much the best harness I've tried for heavy loads.

Colour is Coyote Brown.

Product page and video at SKDTAC, plus a few reviews: https://www.skdtac.com/CamelBak-Linchpin-Hydration-Pack-p/cbk.661.htm

Features:
- Camelbak Lifetime Warranty
- Total Volume 32.5L: 29.5 main compartment, 3L hydration compartment (bladder not included but can include a new one at additional cost)
- Main compartment has tie down points for securing heavy gear (designed for radio).
- Upper zip pocket, sized for goggles / sun glasses in a case
- Large front pocket with internal organiser (around 2-3 inch depth) and key clip
- Front slip zip pocket (maps etc)
- Large beaver tail behind front pocket (sized to take a military helmet but good for a outer layer)
- two zip up side pockets (these fit a 1L Nalgene Oasis canteen, so I assume also the US canteen but not tried).
- Velcro for name tape, morale patches etc
- Mystery Ranch Futura Yoke (adjustable for ride height of the bag)
- Lash points on base to attach straps for a sleep mat / roll mat etc

Condition:
The condition is used but overall great condition. There are some small signs of use, listed below as I like folk to know what they're getting and I'm a bit anal:

- No hydration bladder (I have a new unused 3L camelback Omega I can throw in at additional cost).
- couple of light scuff marks on the cordura
- some light fuzzing on the air mesh
- pin holes in the label where a name tape was sewn (shown below but hard to make out)
- small pull on pack cloth lining of goggle pocket (shown in photos)
- Front compression strap has been neatly removed to prevent snagging and faff when getting into the front pocket (I didn't notice until looking at stock photos to make this sale)
- Sternum strap is missing. These can be obtained from Camelbak under warranty (as I understand it) or replaced with something like the ITW 1" quick attach models.

Price:
I'm asking £115 inc postage to UK.
