CamelBakMil Spec Crux

There's several reasons why this hydration pack is perfect (for me)!First, it's the perfect size for my hiking/outdoor activities. With the varying sizes available, it came down to how much more weight do I want to carry on a 3-5 hour day hike. At max capacity, the Camelback 85 oz (2.5L) Reservoir weighs 5.3 lbs of water. Together with my gear, 40-lbs of gear is the maximum weight that I prefer to carry in my backpack.Second, this size choice was based on what the recommended amount of water was needed: 16 oz (0.5 liters) /hr. I also want to carry extra water, just in case. So this size met my specific needs. So at 85 oz (2.5L) capacity, this will last me up to 5-hrs of hydration.Third, it's the Camelback brand. This model offers the superior manufacturing specs and quality design features for reliability and durability. I don't want failures staying hydrated with fresh water out in the field, especially on hot and humid days, nor do I want my gear to get wet inside the pack. This model offers that security.Overall, it's performed exactly as advertised and is exactly what I was looking for.

Worked perfectly to replace my old one that broke

I predominately use Eberlestock kit for Tactical Operations because their packs have served me well. However, I have not been pleased with the Source hydration reservoirs they include for their hydration systems. Too many issues with leaking and sweating.I decided to replace the Source in my Eberlestock Dagger H7 with this one and I’m very impressed with the upgrade. Haven’t experienced any of the issues like I had with the other brand.For those looking to do the same with their Dagger or other pack model, I highly recommend it. As a note, this 85oz upgrade does fit in Eberlestock’s hydration pockets made for the Source 70oz, plus it gives you a 15oz boost in water capacity.Overall very happy with the purchase and it’s performance. Recommended upgrade.

I got a new Camelbak and hate the blue bladders that come with them (no mouthpiece covers or removable tube connections). The mil spec ones are my go-to since the bite valve is covered and comes apart for cleaning (the tube can be removed, too). Took it on a 60-mile cancer walk, and it didn’t leak once. Always remember to turn the lid a quarter turn to the left before tightening to the right. Folks who say they leak probably aren’t doing that little step—it aligns the screw grooves for leakproof tightness.

I have a 5.11 24 rush backpack and it fits perfect on in plus it is easy to clean

Works great! Only complaint is that you need to be careful to align cap screw threads to make sure it seals completely once closed. Multiple times it seemed correctly closed but would leak if squeezed or tipped over.

The Crux model replaced my previous Antidote version after several years good service. Love the durability, quality, insulation sleeve and covered mouth piece! However, the “corporate developers” have struck again because the unmarked screw down lid is easy to mis-thread.Update 2022: I got used to being careful about “misthreading” the Crux lid closure so no longer get spilled water over the kitchen counter. The insulated drink tube significantly reduces the tube contents from freezing on winter hikes. Time using this product caused me to raise to five stars!

My pack had loops on the shoulder strap for a hydration pack, but no port or designated spot to hold the bladder. The smaller crux fits in a spare compartment on the front and I can snake the hose through the velcro opening. The hose is long enough to fit through my loops. I love the quick release function too! You can fill the bladder without the hose attached and nothing leaks.

Ajusta Perfecto y después de muchas lacadas conserva su compresión, lo recomiendo bastante!!

Not much to say, these camelbak bladders will usually outlast the camelbak pack they go into.My young bloke hadn't needed his pack for a year or two so when we checked the bladder it didn't look like it was worth trying to clean. Was a little annoyed original one hadn't been looked after but this one was a bargain & in stock. Not many online & brick shops had the bladders or complete Camelbak to buy at the time.

Me gustó mucho el producto la bolsa se me hizo mas delgada a las anteriores que tenia pero si es resistente.
