Camelbak Mil Spec Crux - Before You Buy

A review on the new Camelbak Mil Spec Crux series.

Hydration is key in physically demanding conditions and a good hydration kit makes the difference in ease of use and reliability. We now got our hands on one of the latest systems in tactical hydration technology and have to say we're impressed with this reservoir compared to Camelbak its predecessors and its competition as well.

I have use it for one long summer back in 2010 it was an orange color hydration backpack. The reason I purchase it because that summer was very hot especially if you're collecting shopping carts inside of a parking lot where's no air condition at all. But when I open it the hydration bladder had a odd smell with it has taken me to clean it thoroughly which it was wasn't easy. As what you said I had to get all water out after using each time but never had the chance to buy CAMELBAK WATER CLEANING TABLES & RESERVOIR CLEANING KIT.
And I got lots of compliments from my coworkers and customers ☺ 😊 🙂

Nice review man! I've heard a few guys say the water flow is no different than their last mil-spec antidote bladder?. Hope thats not the case?! I liked their old antidote bladders but i recently switch to the source M.C ultimate bladder system. Comes standard with their upgraded mouth piece. This source bladder has an "O" ring inside the cap to precent leakage. I prefer this bladder because the top opens fully for quick filling. I may try the crux to compare. Hike on!

Hello all, as is my understanding the handle is not designed to be removed but has anyone done so and if so did it affect the function of the reservoir?
Thanks for your help

[alejandroespinoza]

great video, it helped me make up my mind

[ericoh]

For the mouth piece, do you need to slice the opening on your own? Mine doesn't seem to have the hole opening.

Hi, we bought camel back same design as urs but the water taste plastic even after cleaning, is there any specific cleanser for this item?

Bought the 3l one filled it and immediately the twist cap started leaking

Great review! Can these models be used (with adapters) with Sawyer filters for inline filtering?

Would never buy Camelbak again. Not easy to clean. And the cap leaks very fast. Maybe they can’t choose there own drinking bag in the army. But there are much better drinking bags or bottles with drinking tube out there.
