Alright, folks, gather ’round and listen up! Today, I’ve got the CamelBak Ambush Mil Spec Crux (100oz) strapped to my ruck sack, and let me tell you, it’s a game-changer for us on this military hike. Designed with the USMC in mind, this low-profile pack is the real deal.
First things first, it’s all about that Crux Short 3L Reservoir. It’s like a hydration lifeline out here. This reservoir is built to fit like a glove, no matter your torso size, thanks to its low stack height. And the best part? You can refill it in a flash with the external fill feature. No need to take it out of your pack – just top it up and keep moving.
Now, let’s talk durability. This bad boy is made from 500D Double-rip Cordura® Fabric, so it can handle whatever the wilderness throws our way. Plus, it’s got top and bottom external zip pockets for your small essentials, so you can stay light on your feet and still have everything you need.
The Mountain™MOLLE on the bottom pocket lets you attach extra gear if needed, and those side-release shoulder straps make it easy to ditch this pack in a hurry if the situation calls for it. Need quick access to the reservoir? No problem, the side zippers have got you covered.
And check out those D-Rings for tube management – no more tangled mess. The lightweight webbing harness, adjustable sternum strap, and hook-and-loop strap management all make for a comfy and hassle-free carry.
You want customization? Look no further. The integrated hook-and-loop panel lets you add or remove name tags and unit badges with ease. Plus, there’s an ergonomic webbing grab handle and a drainage hole on the hydration compartment.
And don’t worry about those pesky chemicals – it’s BPA/BPS/BPF Free, so your water stays clean and safe. Dimensions-wise, it’s a compact 41 x 25 x 15 cm / 16 x 10 x 6, and it weighs just 0.8 kg / 1.7 lb. With a gear capacity of 6 liters and a 3-liter hydration capacity, you’ve got all the essentials covered.
So, there you have it, the CamelBak Ambush Mil Spec Crux – your trusty companion on this military hike. It’s rugged, versatile, and built for the long haul. Stay hydrated, stay agile, and let’s move out!
