This is my third CamelBak and great for water, tire repair and a snack. (The MULE is a better one for carrying more gear.) I like the ipod pocket, small tool kit pouch and harness system. It will keep most dirt and water out. The harness and bladder are small enough to incorporate into a larger backpack and can be quickly removed and worn for exploring. As with most bladder systems keep them full or keep them empty and most definitely-clean often. The LOBO will take care of your water and allows you to enjoy where you are.

If all you want to carry are fluids and a pocket knife plus maybe your wallet, this backpack is great. It is super comfortable, very ergonomic, and does not have a single spot that seems to rub you until your raw. I forgot I had it on during most of a 10 mile steep mountain climb. However, before leaving, I found myself wishing a had just a little extra room for carrying a few more items. I had to make choices like whether to carry my GPS or some extra food, my wallet or my flashlight, etc. Very good design however for the basic function it is intended to provide: hydration.

it has just the right size for a half-day ride. enough water to get you thru the trails and not too much to be too heavy to carry around. the compartments are just enough for a bike tool, extra tube and bike levers with extra space to spare for your wallet.

I used this on the MS 150 from Duluth, MN to the Twin Cities, MN and it work very nicely. Stops were typically 10-15 miles and I refilled the bladder pack every other stop. It did not cause too much excessive sweating due to excess heat and definitely helped to keep me hydrated.

The excess storage pockets were great for my arm warmers, camera, ID, etc.

I am happy I had it on the ride and plan on using it again next year.

I wanted to get a unit which was sculpted for mountain biking. The pack I wanted was for a 2 to 4 hour ride capacity. There is just enough storage for your keys, cell phone, wallet and maybe a snack. The 100 oz of water is the best choice in my opinion. You can always fill it less if you are worried about weight.
This unit is ideal for my needs. Some other units such as my wife's has a lot more space for a windbreaker or whatever. Those units should be used for hiking or extended rides. If you want to keep your pack light so you do not get a lot of weight shifting during manuvers than this is the one. The straps are verycomfortable and the orange color I selected may help you from being shot by a hunter.

I purchased the Camelbak Lobo 100 oz. hydration pack and I couldn't be happier with it. I purchased it mainly for hiking. In September, I first used it when I climbed Mount McLoughlin in Southern Oregon. (ele. 9495ft.)
I filled the 100 oz. bladder with all the ice that I could fit in it, then I poured water in the rest of the way. I then drove eighty miles to Mount McLoughlin and hiked three hours and fifteen minutes to the summit, with ice water all the way up and all the way back down. A total of eleven miles over a six hour period. I was blown away that the water stayed cold and that I had enough to last the entire trip.
One of the best features of this must have hydro pack is the no-leak bite valve that is at the end of the delivery tube. It's effortless to get a drink; unlike a canteen you don't have to stop, take off the lid, get a drink, put the lid back on, then continue. And it's much easier and less fatiguing to carry the water on your back. I hardly knew it was there. The bladder is easy to fill and easy to clean.
I use it every time I ride my bike. It's much easier than pulling the water bottle from the bike frame. Plus you can store a lot more water.
The Lobo is compact and light weight. It has two zippered storage compartments plus another compartment with easy access. Plenty of room to store your needs for an all day trip. The Camelbak is a durable unit that should last a long time. I would recommend it to anyone.

This hydration pack won't carry several days worth of gear, but it does carry my essentials (I'm a minimalist) and 100 oz. of your favorite hydrating liquid. There is a fair amount of cargo space inside, but filling the cargo area tends to reduce the amount of liquid you can carry, or vise versa. My last pack was the original camelbak classic which had only a zippered cargo pocket (cell phone and keys) and an external cargo strap. This pack gives me the extra space I need without getting too big. The waist strap takes some getting used to. So far have only ridden cold temps to 16 degrees with no problems. Quality product I would highly recommend, love the external fill cap.

Product came in perfect condition, shipping was fast and hassle free. Xtra storage is helpful with wallets and keys. Waist belt is nice, prevents movement when running. Would recommend purchasing an insulated tube if used in hot weather.

Don't hesitate! I searched for a hydration pack long and hard. Tried on many models and for the price, features and comfort, this bag was pound per pound the best one in its category. The stitching, and material seem pretty sturdy and well done. Very light weight, even when filled with water, my wallet, phone, bike tools and Gerber tool. Has a mesh compartment for a bike helmet, and two compartments for storage. My first use was on a bike trek with a friend. Rode 22 miles and had no problems with comfort or otherwise. Can't wait to see how it holds in the cold for some cross-country skying. Great product!

This was my first Camelbak. Got it a few weeks back at least. I have used it plenty. Great water capacity and functionality. Also good enough space for carrying items. I use it mostly for mountainbiking. Have had zero problems and I can actually see most any problem being an easy fix. The reservoir also has a lifetime warranty from Camelbak which is a definite plus!
