- Crux Water Reservoir Hydration Bladder

As always, this brand doesn't disappoint. Excellent product, works perfectly and never leaks.

Great reservoir, big enough for long loop. Easy to clean, no leaks. Hydrate or die!

Bought this to replace my bladder I've had for years. This one was better made with detachable tube and the plastic was firmer and heavier than my previous bladder.

Worked as expected!

Works great overall just be aware the blue ring on the cap can come loose, which causes leaks. Once it’s securely back in place, though, it seals perfectly and doesn’t leak at all.

I bought this product after reading mostly positive reviews - but some reviews said it leaked, it was hard to fill completely and the water tasted bad. The only problem I had with leaking was the one time I didn't get the cap on right. However, I always turn it upside down before putting it in my bag to check for leaks. There's a trick to getting the cap on correctly: when you put the cap on first spin it slowly counter-clockwise like you're unscrewing it until you click a "click." That sound is the threads engaging and lining up. Then screw it clockwise and tighten as normal. I agree that it shouldn't require a "trick" but once I figured this out I can quickly and easily get the cap on correctly. The hose connects with a solid "click" and I've had no leaks from that connection. The second issue I've seen in reviews is that it's hard to completely fill, and this is true if you try to get every last drop possible in it. However, I questioned how much water this actually holds so I completely filled the reservoir and poured it out into my 2 liter measuring cup. It held about 2.2 liters. So it is hard to put 2.2 liters into a 2 liter reservoir, but it's easy to fill to the 2L advertised capacity. The other issue is the taste, and if you put water in it brand new without cleaning it, it will taste like rubber. So I washed mine with warm water and a little dish soap (and ran some through the tube) and thoroughly rinsed it. I spent 10 minutes doing this 1 time and the water tasted completely normal after that. If you leave water in it for over 24 hours (especially if partially filled) then you'll get a slight aftertaste. If you're looking to store water for several days without any change in taste, then this product probably isn't for you. Two things that would make this better are to include a sleeve option for the tube. I've got a green/brown bag and the bright blue tube just doesn't look good against it. Also the hook at the top of the reservoir (used to hang inside your bag) is shaped like a T and that works great in my bag, but my wife's bag has a velcro loop. To secure it in her bag we'll have to rig a string through the T hook and the loop in the bag. Finally, check the dimensions before ordering your size. The measurements showed it would be a tight fit in my bag and it is, but it works fine and I'm glad I got the larger size. The measurements in the specs are accurate with the bag full of water. Bottom line, I liked this enough to buy one for my wife.

Product is as expected. I own the same product, purchased ~10 years ago, and it is still going strong. I needed a second so that I could carry up to 6 liters of water for long, hot hikes.

This 2 liter reservoir does exactly what it is designed to do! I tested it in my off design 22 liter pack, but it will work for larger packs too. No leaks! Even when I had the hose block open the mouth piece stayed closed and didn't leak even while on the move. But nice to have the hose block feature on the mouth piece, in case I sit on it, or squash it under my pack when I set it down. I tugged fairly hard on the hose, and it did not pull off the reservoir. But, just in case, you can take off the hose at its release feature, while full, and the reservoir does not leak. I also squeezed the reservoir hard and no leaks. Its sleek profile and over all design does not noticeable cut into the volume of the pack, even when the reservoir is completely full. It has a nice handle on the reservoir lid, for easier opening and tighter closing, which lays flat. In my pack I prefer to place the lid away from my back in as turning it towards my back makes it less comfortable, but that's probably obvious. For me 2 liters is good for most day hikes, but for back packing it is difficult to fill with a water filter. However, not really a problem for me, as I always have additional bottles on longer ventures, and it works to pour from a bottle to fill the reservoir. No plastic taste even after letting the reservoir sit full for days. I'm very happy with my purchase!

I have bought multiple Cambelbak bladders over the last 10 years and they keep me very satisfied. These are by far the best reservoirs on the market. The handle makes it easy to fill and close the opening. It is made from sturdy material and the bladder itself will keep the water pretty cool when stored in a backpack, even on hot days. I also have an insulation bag, but I never use it. When cycling in 32 degrees Celcius, that's 89F for you imperial speakers out there ;), it will keep cool in the backpack throughout the day. It never leaked when I used it. I can really recommend this bladder.

Sacca idrica top di gamma. Ho acquistato la camelbak da 3l adatta soprattutto per i trekking più lunghi ; il materiale non altera in nessun modo il gusto anche quando sottoposto a stress termici (caldo estivo/ freddo), l'erogatore è molto pratico e comodo, fornisce un buon apporto d'acqua. Punto di forza è sicuramente il tappo, permette di riempire la sacca e chiuderla in piena sicurezza senza che vi siano perdite. Assolutamente consigliata.

Deposito de agua para mochila con buena capacidad y estanca

Materiali di qualità, aggancio tubo e tappo riempimento ben fatti con chiusure ermetiche precise ed affidabili. Impossibile andare in giro senza. Comoda, utilizzabile anche con zaino non dedicato, lascia libere le mani durante le uscite, offrendo la possibilità di idratazione continua anche durante la marcia. Non sa di “plastica” e, aggiungendo una bella dose di ghiaccio, si ha a disposizione una buona razione di liquidi freschi ed idratanti. Se ben chiusa, non perde una goccia. Ottimo anche il supporto di plastica rigido intorno alla bocca di riempimento, che consente di reggere la sacca distesa durante il riempimento e nel contempo aiuta a tenerla dritta nella zaino. Tappo di riempimento di diametro abbastanza largo da consentire l’inserimento di una mano nella sacca, per la pulizia e l’asciugatura. Un must have. Non c’è da tentennare durante l’acquisto: comprandola, si va a colpo sicuro.

Aunque caro es super practico para llevar en mochila , aguanta bien la temperatura. El tamaño vale para excursiones de 1 dia. La limpieza y secado es engorrosa pero el hueco ancho lo facilita. Aunque la limpies en el primer uso, mantiene un ligero sabor plastico los primeros dias. Si pones pastillas isostar limpiar bien, porque tiñen un poco.
