Review on CamelBak Mil-Spec Crux 100 oz/3.0L Long Accessory Reservoir (1944001003): Brown - Ultimate Gear for Enhanced Hydration by Devin Jirsa

The quality of this bladder is very high, very durable and well designed. However, the plastic chemical taste is the same as the others. It won't go away and like everyone else I've been trying to cleanse it with baking soda and lemon juice for weeks. It just simmers in it for weeks. I poured it out, cleaned it thoroughly and the chemical taste was just as strong. And he is submerged in water. It's not just a tube, a mouthpiece, or a bladder. You can pour water into a glass and not only taste the plastic chemical, but VERY UNDERSTAND the plastic chemical. Literally from running water through a backpack. 10 seconds. That's all you need for this bubble and a strong plastic chemical component is added to your water. The Platypus bubble didn't have any chemical taste issues, although it didn't seem to last as long.
