A portable reservoir hydration system that can be used during chemical and biological weapon attacks recently entered the marketplace.

Designed for use by military forces, first responders and law enforcement personnel, CBR 4.0 has been developed by CamelBak Products, of Petaluma, Calif.

“The CBR 4.0 is proven to withstand exposure to hazardous toxins including Sarin nerve and mustard blister agents and protects from deadly microbes such as anthrax,” a spokesman explained.
