CamelBak H.A.W.G. Tactical Hydration Backpack with 100oz/3L Mil Spec Crux Reservoir Bladder - MOLLE, Black

I work a very active job that keeps me on the move constantly. The job requires the use of both my hands, and is very physical. This backpack singlehandedly has made my life more efficient and has become my EDC pack. The water bladder is very well thought out, and encourages me to hydrate while working, all while keeping my hands free to work, without having to stop what I'm doing to pick up a bottle, open it, drink, close it, and stow the bottle. The convince has made me more efficient and productive, and better hydrated.The pack itself is very well designed and built to last, inch to inch. There is just enough room to carry enough supplies or equipment for a full days work. Made of a comfortable material, and unlike the reviews, I actually found no issues with the fit.With this bag I know I'm set to work wherever work takes me.All this sounds like no big deal for most. But for me I've not been so excited for a purchase. If you are looking for a solid EDC/Day pack, this is probably the pack for you.Only complaint? Would be nice to have more mounting strap options on the bottom of the pack.

Great quality, durable, looks nice. Roomy but not too bulky. The CamelBak is great for staying hydrated, saves me from buying plastic bottles or carrying bulky metal cups. It was pristine when it arrived. The dirt in the photo came from use, riding dirt bikes.

The pack is clearly returned. The 3L bladder and tube were missing.

I used to own another CamelBak during my days in Young Marines (back in 2007/8 I believe) which is where I learned of this brand but I owned one that only carried water. I loved it until the water pouch ruptured which was fine considering how long it lasted and how poorly 11/12 year old me treated it. I recently started getting into trail walking with my RC Cars and this has been super convenient! Not having to carry a water bottle (especially one that can carry 3L of water!!!!) and being able to carry extra tools has been way better than I'd imagined it. Works just as good as I remember it if not better than the last one I owned. Here's to a few years with this one!

I would have given 5 stars but the shipping got messed up and was late. Thankfully I got this just in time for my day hike. I needed something not too big and not too small - this bag is just right. It can carry my stove(s), cups utensil, first aid kit a LARGE bag of water plus other supplies. For a day trip picnic in the woods - I cannot think of a better sized bag. I am very impressed.

My last one lasted 15 years, this one seems better made and the pockets are even better.

After a 2 years and some rough adventures, this bag is the best I've had yet. Not one complaint. Maybe just my dog hair sticking to the Velcro on the back.

Big fan of camelbak normally. Would have been 4 stars if not for the price, but I could be off base there. Despite the bag listing it's volume as 20L for cargo it didn't feel like it. The front main pocket zips down and folds past 90 degrees pretty well so you can get what you're after (Keep in mind, everything near the top will fall out.) The main compartment only zips down so far which can make getting things at the bottom difficult. I wish it had an additional pocket on the side for a water bottle (I know, this is comes with a reservoir but still.) It's nice to cinch down when you want to minimize the footprint but just keep in mind that makes having to unclip them every time you want something a pain. Oh, and for you hikers, this bag is feels heavy. Even without water in it. I do love love love, the detachable waste clips, and the clips on the shoulder straps.Mine did come with the mil-spec crux reservoir though I haven't tried it yet.I was able to fit my passport, one small change of clothes, sunglasses, gloves, some chargers, a large power pack, ipad, phone, kneeboard, and a small (slim) lunch bag in it. That was about it.
