Great pack for bike rides, short hikes and more - CamelBak Ambush Mil Spec Crux Hydration Pack

this pack is awesome in every way. This is my second CamelBak (I have a smaller Thermobak 2L) and love it as well but needed a bag that has some pockets to store extra stuff like cell phone, tools, keys and small snacks. I really could not find any pictures of the pockets on the CamelBak website so I took a few here to show what it has to offer. The 3L bladder is easily removable through the top hole by pulling on the fill handle, which is a nice feature. You can also gain access to the quick release tube connector through the zipper on the side. This is my first experience with a huge fill opening so I can imagine tossing some ice in there on hot summer days. The two pockets are also very nice. The top one I can see using for wallet, keys and cell phone (I was able to fit my Galaxy S9 with huge case in there with no problem). The bottom pocket is seemingly large and it expands out so you can fit quit a bit in there. It houses two mesh stretch dividers and a clip. The exterior of the bottom pocket has MOLLE cutouts so you can add more attachments if you like. The overall feel of this bag is very sturdy and would seem to withstand plenty of abuse, its very rugged. There seems to be some nice padding on the backside and the front that houses the bladder. All of the straps are adjustable in length and the chest strap has a bungie side to relieve some pressure. There is also a pocket on the back that you could slide some papers like maps and park passes in for safe keeping. CamelBak never disappoints and for the price point and features this pack offers is a no brainer!
