Ride lean, fast, and hard, for hours at a time? The Lobo Hydration Pack from CamelBak is a trail rider's favored option for rides in the 2-4 hour range and has been slicked up and built to best accommodate the new CruX Reservoir System. Carrying 3-liters (100 oz) of water to keep you hydrated, and just a minimal amount of gear, the lightweight Lobo is great for terrain ranging from XC to Enduro style. The stable harness system and perfect weight distribution mean you will stay comfortable with water at the ready all ride long. When you want to travel fast and light, with maximum water, the Lobo is the best choice.

The back panel is now the Air Director, which functions somewhat like the previous XV design, but offers more air flow. EVA foam pods are set in channels for both vertical and cross ventilation in a lightweight design that delivers excellent support. The incoming air and outgoing heat and moisture move through quickly and easily. For the harness, the company's Independent Suspension™ with ultra light 3D mesh is tapered with an ergonomic cut for ideal control and comfort. With four external pockets the Lobo has more than enough room for a jacket, tube, pump, phone, card and keys, and the removable waist belt adds stability when you are flying down the trail. This updated Lobo has a Magnetic Tube Trap that stows your drinking tube in one easy click. Universal helmet hooks make it easy to carry head protection when you’re not riding, but don't restrict pack access. The stretch overflow storage compartment lets you easily stash a rain shell or extra layer The features and fit are ideal for the design and intended purpose. Nothing extra for extra's sake.

The 3-liter (100oz) Crux Reservoir was developed to increase water flow, up to 20% more per sip than the previous generation. Drawing water more easily, with greater flow reduces the time and energy spent trying to stay hydrated, keeping your focus on the trail. CamelBak added an ON/Off Lever as an angled fitment between the end of the tube and the Big Bite Valve for more control and a better sipping angle. The large diameter reservoir opening and handle makes filling easier. A baffle has been added to the center of the bladder to keep the weight of the water evenly distributed and stable. Finally, the Quick Link valve at the bottom of the pack where the tube exits has a shut-off valve and allows the user to click-fit tubes for replacement, add filters or insulated tubes in a matter of seconds.

You ride fast and hard; lean, carrying only the essentials and plenty of water. With on board hydration, you have the wolf beat, but you get the idea. The main compartment stores the big stuff and four exterior pockets make for quick access for whatever you need on the trail. The Lobo has been a best selling hydration pack for years because it is the best at what it does. That helps you stay focused on the trail and enjoying the ride. This is CamelBak, so materials, durability, stitching, and overall quality will never be in question. Time to hit the trail.
