Pros
Great water capacity. Just enough room for a few tools and a tube without weighing you down.
Review
Well worth 50 bucks
on September 6, 2011
Pros
Love the build and quality of the pack. Looks great and holds plenty of water and gear for how small it is. never moves on my back and can hardly feel it.
Cons
None.
Review
Buy this if you ride for 2-3 hours. Oh and remember to clean it after every ride!
on April 17, 2011
Pros
Holds a good amount of water. Would be good for a race where you didn't need to carry much.
Cons
When bladder is full it is tough to put any items in the pockets.
Review
I purchased this and rode with it on one ride. This would be good for races due to small amount of storage and water capability.
Pros
Light weight, easy to wear. Hold a good amount of water for a few hour ride.
Cons
Haven't found any yet.

Pros
Roomy, 100 oz of water, fits great.
Cons
Can be hard to get into bladder.
Review
This pack has everything that I need. Room for tools, grub, keys, ipod, and even a rain jacket if needed, and it holds a lot of water.
Pros
Holds 3L of water. Very comfortable even without wearing the chest strap. Plenty of room to carry phone, wallet, tools, spare tube, food etc. Has a strap to attach a car key to so you don't have to worry about it falling out.
Cons
I haven't found anything yet.
Review
Probably one of the best products I've bought. I recommend this to everyone. If you bike an all day trip you might want something a little bigger to hold clothing changes. The Lobo is great for those 2-3 hour trail trips.
Pros
Great pack that holds lots of water and all the gear and such that you will need for a all day excursion.
Cons
None yet.

model: 2004 Lobo 70oz
Pros
The Lobo is comfortable and breaths really well on your back. Holds 100 true oz's of water. Storage for a small mini pump and other small items.
Cons
The pack is a little heavier than I would like it to be when empty. I just take it as the additional wt for training.
Review
I'am a Road rider who lives and rides in Arizona during the summer months. I go through the whole 100 oz and a bottle of water on an hour and a half ride. Without the pack, I would have to stop frequently for water. It's a must for hot weather riding. Paid $78.00 at Two Wheel Jones bike shop in Mesa, AZ.
Pros
Hydration bladder is easy to fill, great storage capacity, like the netting on the side, forget I have it on when I ride
Cons
zip pulls are cheap and break easily, I don't think the pack fills up to well when there is stuff in the pack.
Review
The biggest problem I have is the damn zipper pulls. Broke off the first day I used it. I just used some parachute cord to fix it, now it's good as gold. Has a good amount of water for day trips out here in Utah but I ran out of water on slick rock before I finished. Seems as if though I'm cheating myself on water when my pack is full. What I mean by that is the hydration bladder seems to be capacity restricted if there are things in the pack pushing on the reservoir. Other than those things it's a good bag and I recommended it to my brother who just bought one.

Pros
This Camelbak holds a ton of water; I'm hydrated my entire ride! It's easy to clean and holds a lot of gear all over. Also, very durable. It is very easy to fill. The weight distribution make you feel like you aren't even wearing it!
Cons
There isn't a thing I dislike about this Camelbak so far. If I had to come up with a con it would be that it's a little hard to open the reservoir. But, I really shut it tight.
Review
This was a great buy! Tons of space and water! I would completely recommend it!
Pros
Easy to pull the bladder after a ride. Plenty of storage. Easy to get the right fit.
Cons
Zipper pulls fell off in 4 uses. Easy fill isn't that easy.
Review
Let me start out saying that I love this pack. Its my first camelbak and its a great fit for me, I've stashed a spare tube, pump, multi tool, gels and some snacks in this thing and had plenty of room for a phone and wallet. I also enjoy the slim design that keeps this right between my shoulders, I do use the waist strap so it doesn't bang me in the back while riding over roots on some downhill sections.
The only thing that bothered me about this pack is the zipper pulls were a cheap nylon crimped between plastic, I think one fell off before I get to use the pack and the others fell off shortly after my fourth ride. It was very annoying missing two of the main pulls and having to fight the pack to get anything out.

Pros
I don't even notice the pack on my back, the weight distribution is so well done. Comfortable, great back ventilation, very reasonable storage, easy to use.
Cons
Like any Camelbak, it can be a pain to clean out after riding. And like many have said, the filler cap is really tough to remove sometimes.
Review
I bought this pack and wow.. no more water bottles. For me, it's the right pack in the right size.
Pros
Storage (both aquatic and not), comfort, durability, ventilation.
Cons
Waist strap. Who needs it? "Easy access" refill isn't that easy in my sink, but I usually pull the bladder to fill anyway.
Review
GREAT hydration pack. Use it for trail riding as well as general around town cargo. When in the woods it holds tools, keys, phone, and enough water for a pretty long ride, around town it can hold my medium format camera, keys, phone, wallet, and my U-Lock. If I leave the bladder at home I even have a good amount of space for carrying stuff home from errands. Really, the negatives I listed above are trivial. The waistband is removable and the "easy fill" isn't unusable, I just don't like it. If those two aren't a problem for you (they weren't for me) then this is a great buy.
Pros
external storage, 100 oz. bladder, adjustable (up and down) chest strap, pretty comfortable overall
Cons
no clip for hose, no insulation on hose
Review
I had an old Rocket, and the storage was minimal at best. I bought a new 100 oz. version of the Lobo (description above indicates 70 oz). I've been on a couple short rides, and one fairly long ride, on which I packed it full. It did great, and I had plenty of water at the end of the ride.
Pros
Reservoir capacity, light-weight, comfortable.
Cons
none
Review
I really enjoy using this pack. It's very durable and can take a beating. I have had my share of falls with the pack taking most of the brunt, and still no damage to pack. Highly recommended for shorter trips.
Pros
Holds enough water for a 2-4 hour ride. Small, compact and lightweight.
Cons
The resevoir cap/lid can be a bit hard to open at times.
Review
I like the pack because if you freeze it over night it will keep you cool for awhile on those hot summer rides. My son and I can wear it because it has a good amount of adjustabilty in it. Has enough room for basic trail tools, wallet ,keys and light snacks. Great bang for your buck!!
Pros
storage capacity, amount of water, comfort
Cons
None
Review
This pack can hold all the necessities, it has some mesh compartments in the pockets so all your things don't move around; it's very comfortable and it vents your back so it doesn't get all hot and sweaty
Pros
Small enough you don't fill your pack full of too much stuff, carries enough water for a 2 hour summer ride, pack is light and comfy
Cons
reservoir
Review
I like the pack, the Omega reservoir is very difficult to open sometimes. The filler cap retainer broke after about 6 months. Even after 3 years of regular use my reservoir still tastes chemically and leaves a mild burning in my the back of my throat if I fill it the night before a ride.
I like the pack a lot. It is light, it carries just enough tools and food and the patch/bungee system really does hold your stuff.
Pros
The new version not pictured here is an all around great pack, it holds 3 liters of water and has plenty of pockets for all of your gear. The sternum and lower strap keep it on tight full or empty. The ventilation channel also keep your back cool.
Cons
None.
Review
Slightly expensive, but defiantly worth it one of the best hydration packs out there.
Pros
Enough water for a 3+ hour ride. Enough storage for some light snacks and tools as well.
Cons
Non - works great for it designated purpose.
Review
Excellent camelback for those that want a lot of water, but don't require a huge amount of storage.
on August 8, 2007
Pros
Enough water for a three hour ride on a hot day. Just the right size for short rides where extra gear is not needed. The pump port holds any size mini pump and i have never lost my pump or had it fall out during a crash.
Cons
The filler cap is very hard to remove when its time to refill.
Review
This is a great product. I wish they had these when i was in the Army. Beats carrying a water bottle on your bike anyday.
