This is where the CamelBak 18 shines. It is a simple pack with a bladder and room for a few extra layers, bottles, snacks and a camera. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/redrocksreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/L1010474-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1015\" srcset=\"https:\/\/redrocksreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/L1010474-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/redrocksreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/L1010474-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/redrocksreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/L1010474-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/redrocksreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/L1010474-1536x1025.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/redrocksreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/L1010474-2048x1367.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pack comes with a relatively small 50oz bladder which could be replaced with a bigger one. I really think they messed up on the bladder size, it should be 2 liters or more. Easy enough to fix, and maybe 50oz is enough for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/redrocksreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/L1010477-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1019\" srcset=\"https:\/\/redrocksreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/L1010477-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/redrocksreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/L1010477-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/redrocksreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/L1010477-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/redrocksreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/L1010477-1536x1025.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/redrocksreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/L1010477-2048x1367.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It has a nice handle on the top, two side release buckles and a cord lock to keep things tidy. There is even a small stash pocket in the lid for your wallet and keys. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/redrocksreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/L1010478-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1020\" srcset=\"https:\/\/redrocksreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/L1010478-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/redrocksreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/L1010478-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/redrocksreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/L1010478-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/redrocksreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/L1010478-1536x1025.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/redrocksreview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/L1010478-2048x1367.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main pocket is one large area, like I said this pack is simple.
