Low profile hydration systems

Hey all

I'm currently redoing my rigs and will be using a LBT 6094 Slick as a base. I'm currently seeking a low profile stand alone hydration system to put onto the back of the slick so that i've got hydration between the various rigs
(Currently rifleman Slick + LBT 2586J, Saw Slick + H Harness)

So far i've only been able to really find two that may match my needs.
What i'm seeking is
- Low profile
- Able to integrate into molle
- Lightweight (Around 1-1.5L as I'll have a pack as well with additional hydration)

First is the Source Kangroo 1L
http://source-military.com/hydration...ith-pouch.html

It appears to be a decent standalone system, however from the pictures i've been able to dig up when it's fully filled it takes more of a shape of a canteen. The 1L is designed more for a canteen pouch it appears so it may not fit as flat as I'd like.

I do like though the ability of the source bladders to be refilled without having to take off anything (Check it out it's actually pretty slick UTA - YouTube)

Second choice i've been able to dig up
Camelback Pakteen
http://www.camelbak.com/Military-Tac...s/Pakteen.aspx

- Fits the size requirements so far
- Would have to take off to refill though.
- Only in black?

So are those my seemingly only options? Are there maybe other pouches/bladder options i'm missing?
