2010 Lobo 100oz Hydration Pack

Perfect product from Camelbak for those who like to carry the essentials (multi-tool, extra tubes, tire tool, energy bars, first aid, packable jacket, cell phone, etc.) and enough water for up to three hours.

Love It. Works great for trail riding. Lots of pockets.

Strengths: Very well made with tons of features. Ventilation system controls sweat on your back and the straps are comfortable and effective. Love the belly strap. Weaknesses: Some other Camelbak models have a big zipper so the reservoir can easily be removed for filling or for storing in a fridge/freezer. Also, Camelbak just came out with their new Antidote reservoir which replaces the Omega HydroTanium and looks to be WAY better. Bottom Line: I started off trying a MULE N.V. thinking it would hold a lot more but I couldn't believe how little that model actually held. I returned it and got a Lobo instead which is lighter and makes far better use of it's smaller capacity.

I own the Camelbak Mule and decided I needed a lighter option without giving up much capacity. Lobo does a great job - keeping the 100 oz capacity and enough pockets to stay organized with a vest, food and repair kit so no seat bag is necessary. The jersey pockets are not readily accessible but I haven't found a pack that allows easy access.
