Product Overview
WTF's Hydro Zip-On Back Panel 74 for WTF Plate Carrier 24 designed for use with Source Kangaroo, WLPS, and ILPS bladder and CamelBak's 70oz and 100oz short bladders. In addition to the main compartment, there are two loop lined pouches, two 2 x 3 PALS on either side, and 2 x 3 PALS on the bottom.
Back Panel 74 has milspec elastic and VELCRO® Brand ONE-WRAP® loops for hydro and cable routing. To discourage inadvertent separation from the carrier, zipper pull tabs tuck securely and silently into milspec elastic loops to prevent the slider from riding upward.

WTF's Back Panel 74 is manufacturable. This design represents a balance of durability, ease of assembly, machine operator fatigue reduction, COTS materials use, cost effective cut and sew methods, self jigging/locating design, scalability, and usability.
