CamelBak Crux 3L Hydration Reservoir
The CamelBak Crux 3L reservoir delivers 20% more water per sip than previous generations with an ergonomic high-flow bite valve that self-seals to prevent leaks. The wide-mouth Quick Link cap opens easily for filling and cleaning, and the built-in baffle reduces sloshing while keeping a low profile in your pack. BPA/BPS/BPF-free materials throughout. The 3-liter (100oz) capacity keeps you hydrated for full-day adventures. Compatible with most hiking backpacks and CamelBak's LifeStraw filter kit for backcountry water purification. A leak-proof on/off lever lets you seal the tube completely when not in use.
