Camelbak has almost become one of those iconic brands that people generically call hydration systems of this type, sort of like Hoover with vacuums and Klennex with facial tissues – Camelbak are hydration packs.
The Camelbak Lobo is a perfect hydration pack for the mountain biker with its large 3.0 litre water resovoir and enough storage room for valuables, spares and snacks.
When riding the single tracks there is very little time to reach to the bidon cage to grab a bottle let alone take a sip while riding single handed. Having the bite-valve and feed hose over your shoulder, a refreshment is only a small movement away. Filling the bladder is easy and simple by accessing the fill cap without having to open the entire pack.
The harness is light and comfortable with additional straps around the waist and across the sternum to secure it to your body without moving around.
Of the Camelbak range there are models above and below the Lobo that will provide you more or less storage and water capacity depending on your own requirements and application. Overall, the Lobo is perfect if you’re out for a few hours to half a day.
The video above (presented by ebags) is a walkthrough of Camelbak testing facility showing why they have continued to be the industry leader in travel hydration.
