  what is the hydrastorm system on the LBV in Nathan's photos? I only know that the one in Temujin's photo is the standard one that is being used by our troops even with the traditional webbing.

  will it be very uncomfortable with the poncho pouch hanging at your bottoms? especially when running?
  
  the LBV looks very cool until they attach the poncho pouch. looks wierd.

  Will we see an assault pack with hipbelt or most unit will start using an Alice pack(5kg of dead weight) with hipbelt with the issuing of the LBV?

  I am glad that the SAF is using the Source Hydration bladder with the automatic valve as the Camelbak valve is manual.
  
  I hope that they will use the disconnect valve so that the soldier will not need to reroute the tubing when the bladder is removed for refill.
