Hydration Backpack with Helmet Carry - CamelBak Lobo - Magnetic Tube Trap - 100 oz Review

This pack is like an upgrade of old MULES. I'm not a big fan of mesh, I feel like it can be prone to dirt and such. But it's perfect for long runs, hikes and the like. Older MULEs of the same size were perfect for mud trails, this one may not be as durable as it's not nylon. Although I highly recommend it.

Keeps you hydrated. Watch the video on how to clean it when using Gatorade or any other energy powder, otherwise mold can develop if not cleaned properly. For washing I only use warm water, no chemicals. The tube detaches from the bag, the mouthpiece detaches from the tube. Simply rinse and then air dry. Put something in the bag (such as crumpled paper towels) to allow the bag to dry.

I bought my first CamelBak about 20 years ago and *loved* it. Since then the products have evolved into these really cheap products. Everything seems flimsy and flimsy, and the seams just unravel. But it keeps the water on my back when I go camping so can't complain at all. If you ask me, CamelBak has increased its profit margins incredibly over the past 20 years by making cheaper and cheaper products for the same price. I think that's what you should expect from a company.

I bought my first camelbak in 2010. Now in 2021 I've bought another one. Why? Not because the other is dead. i still have it Just because I wanted a different color. I had a MULE and I love it. I wanted something with the same 100 ounce bubble size. I don't lug around much and usually drive 2-3 hours max. This model, Lobo, works well. I don't understand the magnetic grip. I wish, like many reviewers, it could be used on the left. I always reach out with my left hand to grab. But it does its job

I bought this backpack for me and my brother. We both ride bikes and sometimes we ride a little recklessly. When my brother was walking up a steep hill, he lost his balance and fell. A backpack with water inside prevented a fall and serious injuries. The backpack itself serves its purpose. It's lightweight, well-tailored and comfortable to wear for long periods of time. Mind you, I rode non-stop for 4 hours and had no pain or fatigue whatsoever. As if there were no water. As for the aftercare…

This is a POS. Before each use, I allow myself an extra 10 minutes to wrestle with the water bag in my backpack because if you use your bags at all, getting water becomes a nightmare. For now I've resigned myself to using this. it is: all water and no gear, no water and all gear, or half the water it contains and some select gear. For the record, I like to carry around a tire pump, a shock pump, an extra chain, and a few different sized wrenches. In general there is not much equipment…

This is a great backpack for long bike rides, especially here in hot Florida. After only 25 miles one way I easily drink the whole pack, then load up at a nice rest stop near the beach (they have a huge water cooler that anyone passing by can use) and then head back. 25 miles. For fountains in other places, I use my water bottle to draw water from the fountain and then pour it into the pack to recharge it that way. So having a water bottle on the bike is still very useful as most places only…

The highest praise I can give is that I didn't notice it mountain biking. No poking, shoulder straps slipping, leg leaks, nothing. The only thing I would say is that they could have made it possible to install a tube on each side strap, but they didn't. The little band that the magnetic clip sticks to is just on the right side, not where I wear my hose. However, it keeps it where I can drink hands-free most of the time (it slips occasionally). And the bite valve is square, you have to bite from
