Turn any adventure into a safe hydration source with the CamelBak Crux 2L Reservoir Filtration Kit, powered by LifeStraw. This reservoir carries 2 liters of water and filters it through two stages: a hollow fiber membrane that removes 99.999999% of bacteria, 99.999% of protozoa, and microplastics, plus an activated carbon filter that reduces chlorine and bad tastes. The wide-mouth fill port with ergonomic handle makes filling easy, while the leak-proof on/off valve prevents unwanted drips. Perfect for hiking, backpacking, travel, and emergency preparedness.
