CamelBak Crux 3L Hydration Reservoir
The CamelBak Crux 3L reservoir holds a full 100 ounces — enough for a long summer day hike — and delivers 20% more water per sip than older CamelBak designs thanks to the high-flow bite valve. The Quick Link system disconnects the hose from the reservoir without emptying it, so you can refill and filter at a stream without threading the tube back through your pack. The leak-resistant cap threads on with an ergonomic handle for fast fill-ups, and the on/off lever at the valve seals the tube shut when you're not drinking.

Outdoor adventures come with unique gear challenges — space, weight, durability, and weather resistance all matter. The CamelBak Crux 3L Hydration Reservoir is designed specifically to solve these real-world problems so you can focus on the experience, not the equipment.
🏆 How It Compares
Compared to alternatives in the hydration & nutrition category, the CamelBak Crux 3L Hydration Reservoir excels with 100oz capacity covers a full day of hiking without refills and high-flow bite valve delivers 20% more water per sip. However, keep in mind bladder alone doesn't include a pack — needs a compatible 3l sleeve and 3l capacity adds weight when full (roughly 6.6 lbs of water) — consider whether these factors align with your specific needs before purchasing.
