from Boston, MA Date Reviewed: May 26, 2003 Strengths: Camelbak makes great products. The idea - combine water storage with a small backpack - is brilliant, and the Lobo is a well designed and well made version of the idea. It's got enough storage for a tube, pump, and a few trailside tools, and carries enough water for a few hot hours. It's perfect for me, but if that doesn't meet your needs, there's got to be another Camelbak that will. Weaknesses: Doesn't clean itself. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $35.00 Purchased At: PricePoint Similar Products Used: none Bike Setup: Bottle cage-free!

from Pensacola, FL Date Reviewed: April 4, 2003 Strengths: PERFECT size -- not too big, not too small. Carries just the right amount of water, easy to fill/unfill, zipper pocket that has pouches that fit perfectly for a cellphone, wallet, keys or sunglasses, etc. Also has a velcro pocket near the top that's perfect for small tools and misc. gear. Exterior bungee cord is a nice plus too. Clip for keeping the tube connected to your shoulder strap for easy access is great. Weaknesses: A little pricy, but seems like it's worth it for the quality. Other than that, no weaknesses. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: searching Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $65.00 Purchased At: Dragon Sports Similar Products Used: Researched them all extensively. Bike Setup: Upgrading probably to a '03 Giant Iguana Disc.

from Savannah Ga Date Reviewed: October 20, 2002 Strengths: It has just enough room for what you need to carry, stores enough water, easy fill, and the top and bottom storage are just about right for all the stuff you need on a trek. The elastic on one side is just right for my vista light batter that I use with my helmet light. Weaknesses: Needs a waste belt, needs something better for holding the water tube, and I agree it is way to expensive for what you get. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Augusta Canal Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $55.00 Purchased At: Quality Bike Similar Products Used: water bottles and other camelback Bike Setup: Giant Rainer SE upgraded rims front and rear, new rear derailer, new front crank set - the stock set broke.
