CAMELBAK Camelbak uniseks-volwassene Hydratatie Pack

I grew up with CamelBaks but always wished they had more storage - this bag does it all. We put it through its paces; first, we took it out into 85 degree heat for a trapshooting course. The water stayed cool without any issue and kept both myself and my wife well hydrated without running dry. Then we took it to a convention, where it kept us hydrated for 3 days without needing a refill and held my 15" laptop, charger, merchandise for us, and everything else we needed without trouble. It would have also fit our smaller laptop, but the weight began to add up on me (that's a personal fitness issue). Even so, the waist strap made it much easier to heft and carry this around, even when full.The real test was when we took it for 5 days at Universal Studios in the Florida heat in July. I was stunned with how well it did; it did need refilled about once a day, but the water never got warm except whatever was left in the tube and it was the sole source of water for two people and often my mother, too. We got caught in drenching rain the first day and everything in it was dry, except one notebook that had gotten just a bit damp (everything not in the backpack was soaked all the way through, including our clothing). It fit everything I and my wife needed in the parks so we did not need any other bags (phones, wallets, tickets, hotel keys, merch, medications, and on one day an entire change of clothes for myself plus a towel). It was amazing and I wouldn't dream of doing anythig like that without this bag again.We have not explored using the mole at this point, but may in the future. It's nice to have just in case. But other than that, I have no complaints whatsoever. The bladder is easy to access once the strap is unclipped, it's highly adjustable as needed to set the weight properly, and it's incredibly well insulated. Defintely recommend!

Alright before I get into the nitty gritty lets talk about MOLLE, abbreviated for Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment. This is incredible for all bags that you want to have some level of customization. You can add bags to the front through this threading, and as you can see in my example I've expanded its ability to hold Velcro patches.3 Stars meaning it's GOOD but not Amazing.Almost 4 stars if not for this incredibly narrow cut MOLLE threading. It's secure no doubt about it but I prefer an easier to work with style that's typically sowed on. In this case its laser cut and that's perfectly okay.The hydration reservoir is a bit tricky to remove from the bag as you have the retaining elastic hoop at the top of it that doesn't really budge which is great at keeping it in place but not great when you need to remove it for refilling or cleaning.My only real gripe is that I'd love more pockets inside. Currently it has a small front pocket think keys, wallet, things that would go in your own pockets. A large pocket with open storage that doesn't zip shut so if your bag for whatever reason goes upside down everything will tumble out inside of that pocket. A second large general purpose large pocket with no additional storage inside. Technically there is space to store more things inside of the pocket that stores the hydration reservoir however with that bladder full you don't have much to work with in there.That can be easily solved of course by utilizing the MOLLE threading for things other than more patches so I'd narrow this down to more of a user error.I received this July 27th and it's currently August 8th. I've already used it for five separate 10 mile hikes. It's well balanced, fulfills my needs, and is everything I could ask for in a CamelBak.

Strong, great mouthpiece on tube, and katadyn hiker pro water filter connects directly to drinking tube making it extremely convenient to fill water bladder from questionable water sources. It’s good size for hiking. Doesn’t really hold any weight on hips with belt but works great if you are using a duty/battle belt because the backpacks’ waist strap sits above and doesn’t interfere with duty/battle belt.

I have zero issues with this pack. Its well constructed and has a good fit over the shoulder and against my torso. The stitching is solid and should hold up for years even with heavy use. Mine did come with the CRUX hydration pack, unlike an earlier reviewer and it is just as rugged as the rest of the pack.

Really great pack. Substantial water storage at 3 liters. Enough internal storage for your gear. Great for long day trip out on the trail. Great materials. Well made. Very satisfied!
