Crux Reservoir
Our collection of reservoirs provide wearable hydration for any adventure imaginable. Leak-proof and reliable, each is engineered to keep water at the ready, allowing you to do what you love - longer.

No Hands Hydration
If there’s one thing we know best, it’s water. Our athletes, customers and colleagues told us they wanted a reservoir that delivered more water per sip, with a foolproof design that made it easy to fill up and hit the trail. The brand new Crux delivers 20% more water per sip, with an ergonomic handle for easier refilling, and an on/off lever that makes it easy to avoid leaks. Like all of our gear, we put the Crux through exhaustive stress tests to make sure that it won’t fail you on the trail.
- Offers 20% more water per sip
- Leak-proof cap is easier to open and close
- On/off lever lets you seal your drinking tube shut with one hand
- Big Bite valve self-seals after each drink, eliminating annoying drips
Key Features
Leak-Proof On/Off Lever
Seal your water supply shut with a flick of your thumb. Just close the valve, and you can toss your pack anywhere without worrying about drips or leaks.
HydroGuard Coating
A wider tube delivers 20% more water with every sip, and both the tube and reservoir are coated with HydroGuard Coating.
Quick Link System
Press the button to quickly disconnect the drinking tube from the reservoir. This feature lets you remove and refill your Crux without unthreading the tube from your pack harness.
Easy-Open Leak-Proof Cap
The cap is redesigned for easier refilling and seals shut in just a few twists.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2025Camelbak! What’s there more to say?
I actually bought this after going the cheap route with a no-name imitator. Not making that mistake again; but best quality from the get-go.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2017So far, I have taken this camelbak on 2 trips and i like it! I like that you can un-clip the hose from the bladder - it makes cleaning easier for me. I havent noticed any connectivity problems between the hose and bladder (but I have only used it twice...). I like the baffle inside the bladder that keeps the bladder thin while it's full. Helpful for getting it back into your pack.
The reason I did 4 stars instead of 5 was because at one point during our backpack, I found that it was leaking. I freaked out since we were in the middle of our trip. I checked everything to make sure it wasn't leaking and couldn't find any problems, so I thinkI just didn't screw the cap on properly. I havent had a problem with it afterwards, so you just have to be careful to screw the cap on properly. The reason i reduced the stars, eventhough the problem was human error, was because it could be hard to tell if the cap is on straight and tight if youre trying to fill the bladder up without taking it out of your pack.
I washed it with baking soda and vinegar before taking it on a trip and that helped reduce the plastic-y flavors. I like the new drinking mouthpiece. You can get more water out of a sip, which is helpful.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2024Bought for a backpacking trip and it worked out wonderful. Smart design that allows you to bite down on the straw to release the water flow. There’s also a valve to stop accidental water spills. The only thing I wasn’t too fond of was the filling cap was so wide and bulky. That makes it a little awkward to fill it up and close once it’s full, but it wasn’t a deal breaker for me.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2025It's important to have enough water to drink while doing long bike rides. This was just what I needed.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2025Great product

5.0 out of 5 stars Excelente accesorio
Lo que se espera de la marca, es más grande de lo que pensé, aún así no tuve problema de que cupiera en la mochila y que se moviera, la manguera es más larga y ancha que la de las bolsas de 2 litros, sin embargo son compatibles lo que me es de utilidad.

5.0 out of 5 stars La fermeture simple et efficace
Bien mieux que l'ancien modèle surtout pour la fermeture plus simple. Tuyau plus long et diamètre plus gros, c'est beaucoup mieux. Pas d'odeur après plus d'un an d'utilisation et parfait en rando ou vtt. Je me limite à le remplir au max de 2l sur les 3l possible. Marge nécessaire quand il est dans le sac à dos car comprimer ce qui évite le risque de fuite.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quality Brand Name Camelbak Resevoir, Quality Materials, Quality Price
Very satisfied with the latest edition of Camelbak 3L water reservoir. They increased the width of the hose to allow more water flow, modified the filling cap for even easier opening and closing, yet seals perfectly. Additionally they modified the drinking valve, in my opinion a more practical and efficient style, along with the universal adapter, so one may attach a more appropriate insulated hose for winter conditions. I would highly reccomend you pair this up a Camelbak Backpack which can support 3L reservoirs.
