Hello all. Just wanted to update you on the latest CamelBak product discontinuation news. CamelBak has been aggressively slimming down its product line as the GWOT deployments wind down (well.... for now) and various camouflage patterns get phased in/out.
For example, it's safe to say there will be a new lineup produced in the Army's new Scorpion pattern soon, and it's not clear if MultiCam will continue on. We'll see how that plays out. And obviously ACU/UCP is going to slowly fade away... thankfully. Either way, here's a partial rundown of the latest and greatest:
1. LinchPin
ACU Pattern: Discontinued, none available.
Coyote Brown, Foliage Green, and MultiCam (OCP) are still available in good quantities.
2. ThermoBak EFP, 2L / 70oz
DCU (Desert Camo) Pattern: Discontinued, none available.
Black and MultiCam (OCP) are available in good quantities.
3. ThermoBak Omega, 3L / 100oz
Black, Coyote Brown, ACU/UCP, MultiCam (OCP), and Foliage Green are still available, although some colors are backordered.
DCU (Desert Camo) Pattern: Discontinued. In early June of this year, we purchased CamelBak's last remaining inventory of 92 pieces of the DCU pattern. We've sold through most of them, but about 25 are still available, and you can find them at the following locations, as well as on GSA Advantage (if you're a qualified Gov/Mil customer):
