This CAMELBACK hydration backpack is the perfect size for all of your essentials, like a few clothing articles, hygiene products, keys, smartphone, wallet and a 15" laptop. It looks to be water resistant to some degree. It appears to be able to hold up to wear and tear (time will tell). The bladder holds 50 oz./1.5 L of water. 2 thermos pockets. Spacious front, right side zipper pocket. The laptop sleave and bladder share the same space inside. Im very pleased with my purchase. Thank you, Rei and CAMELBACK!
I bought this hydration pack expecting to see the same quality as always with a Camelbak pack and I’ve been glad that REI has started to carry the products again. Upon receiving it in the shipment, I removed the bladder to clean and prepare it for an upcoming campout. I was surprised to find that the hydration bladder included, while Camelbak branded, didn’t feature the quick disconnect at the bladder so the tube can be quickly removed. Nor would the drinking tubes be interchangeable between by other Crux bladders since it is fixed on the bladder and impossible to remove.
Good bag with plenty of room for what I needed to go on longer hikes. I don’t understand why it only comes with a 0.5 L water bladder, seems like a waste.
Went camping and hiking with this bag forget a water bottle no problem with this bag best bag I have ever taken for camping 10/10
