Product Description
Perfect for mountain bike trails or lonely country roads, the Camelbak Lobo holds enough fluids and cargo for several hours in the saddle. The pack’s main feature is its 3-liter Omega reservoir, which is large enough for most cycling day trips and offers external access for easy filling. At the same time, the pack offers 146 cubic inches of storage space, letting you haul a bicycle pump, extra tire tube, a small tool bag, and a couple of energy bars. And thanks to the Air Director back panel, which comes with an air mesh harness for enhanced ventilation, the pack is both comfortable and breathable on hot days.

Other details include an internal organizer, a secure Bungee cinch system that holds extra clothing, a Slider SternumStrap with a removable waist belt, and reflective details that help you stay visible in low-light conditions. Ideal for virtually any cycling scenario but also great for hikes and cross-country ski trips, the pack is backed by a two-year warranty. The Omega reservoir, meanwhile, carries a separate lifetime warranty.

CamelBak Men’s Lobo 3-Liter Hydration Pack Review
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.

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.

The Lobo is very light and can hold plenty of water for a long bike ride, but it could use a bit more cargo space and I am not sure if I get any benefit from the hip strap. Also, taking out the reservoir to allow it to dry every time I use the pack is a pain. Despite these few weak points, I am, overall, quite happy with the Lobo.

This is my first Camelbak, and I really like it. It takes some getting used to using the mouthpiece, and I have to say I’ve cleaned the heck out of it with the Camelbak cleaning kit prior to use, but I do still get a plastic taste to my water. Honestly though, when I’m riding, I really don’t care. I don’t use this thing enough. If you don’t have one, I’d suggest getting one. Well worth the investment.

I’ve used this CamelBak for mountain and trail biking in the Texas heat for 4-5 hours at a time, and it has always kept me hydrated and cool. Even when full, the padded pack still feels comfortable. The multiple waist and chest straps keep the pack firmly secured to my body. I usually put a couple ice cubes into the full reservoir, and at the end of a 4 hour ride, the water is still cool and sometimes even cold. The reservoir is easy to refill mid-ride, but I’ve never had to, even when I had another person sharing the water with me.This compact pack won’t carry a lot, but it has enough storage space for a cellphone, wallet, bike pump, granola bars, spare tube and banana. It’s great for rides where you will end up where you started, but don’t expect it to carry enough stuff to go camping with.
