CamelBak HydroBak Tactical Hydration Pack Mil Spec Crux 50oz

I bought this for festival/hiking use. It’s comfortable and durable. The pockets aren’t huge, but they have enough room for a phone/wallet and other stuff if needed. Super glad I bought it!

Great option for a low profile hydration carrier, and when bladder is removed doubles as a small, high quality, water resistant pack

The media could not be loaded. This is a very small camelbak that is capable of holding 50 oz / 1.5 L of water. There is a pocket that can't really hold much besides a phone and a couple small accessories. Depending on your use case, this might just be enough.PROS- Small and slim form factor. It sits nicely on the top of your back and doesn't protrude out at all.- Decently comfortable. The padding on the back is just thick enough where the bladder won't bother you. - Decent build quality. The seams and zippers don't seem rugged, but they don't feel cheap. The straps are simple but they seem durable.CONS- Only one tiny pocket.- No hip strap.- Hydration straw cannot be detached from the bladder.- No straw insulation.Overall, it is a nice minimalist backpack for shorter hikes and concerts, but it fails to carry anything more than a bit of water and a couple accessories.

This pack felt very comfortable on my back. I wanted something light so it didn’t aggravate my scoliosis while I run. I just made sure I had the straps not tight but secure enough where nothing bounced around. I was worried that when it was full with water, I’d feel and hear the water on my back but I didn’t at all! It was not distracting and I actually forgot I even had it on me.Also, there was no taste from the bladder. My first thought with plastic is that it’s going to taste like it but nope. I just washed it really well with baking soda and warm water before I used it.The only “bad” thing I’d say is the tube. You have to really bite down and suck to get the water out and when you’re out of breath and running, it is kind of hard to get a good gulp of water. If you’re fitter than me, you may not have this issue. Also, the configuration of the tube is kind of annoying. I had to kind of finesse it so it wouldn’t smack me right in my face while I ran. The tube isn’t so bad that I’d return the pack or not use it but those things were noticeable to me.

Camelbak makes great stuff. Highly recommend. This is a little small, but great for running.

A+++! I am a regular runner and bought this for the minimal weight to carry my phone while on my runs. It’s got a small zipper pocket to carry my phone and keys and a bladder that carrie’s me through the run. perfect for the minimalist runner who doesn’t like the phone arm strap/band while running!

Excellent product. Would purchase again.

Perfect for festivals, not too heavy and the little pocket is ok for small random stuff like keys, lip gloss and small wallets. I only had to refill the water maybe twice the whole 6 hour day
