wear, this is further enhanced by a series of grooves allowing air to flow between you and the bag. This reduces the sweat generated which is a welcome addition. To keep it in place there are 2 clipped straps that fasten across the chest and below the diaphragm ensuring that everything stays where it should no matter how aggressively you ride.
Function
The drinking tube is guided up and over one shoulder leaving te mouthpiece within easy grasping distance and a short way from your mouth. Once in the mouth all you need to do is bite and suck on the Camelback's unique valve to ensure a steady flow of fluid. As soon as you stop biting the valve seals perfectly ensuring no leakage and no unwanted entry of foreign bodies.
Overall
3 litres of fluid is enough for the longest rides and using the Camelback feels very natural ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of CamelBak Lobo
Advantages: Comes with bladder, expandable, waterproof, well constructed from quality materials, looks cool Disadvantages: Putting an mp3 player holder/port in the rear of the bag is daft. How about in the shoulder strap?
I bought a Camelbak Snoblast in the USA in January 2007 and have been using it for skiing holidays, walking holidays and just general use ever since then. I think I paid about £60.
In total I have skied with it for 8 weeks in all conditions and have been on a number of fell walking holidays where I have used it as a day sack.
One of the things that attracted me to this particular bag was that it comes with a Camelbak hydration bladder and insulated tube which runs from the padded bladder compartment through one of the shoulder straps. This is meant to stop the water from freezing in the tube and has done this every time except one particularly cold day in Breckenfridge when it hit -25.
When skiing I do not like to feel overburdened by luggage and don't like stuffing pockets with gear. This pack once on is very compact ...
Advantages: Hygene, Price, easy to use Disadvantages: fragile
I owned an original camelbak water system way back, around 15 years ago. For those who may not know what that is, its basically a flexible water bottle that slips into a pouch which you wear like a rucksack for running or cycling.
The problem in those days was as it is now, mould would grow inside the water pack no matter how much you tried to keep it clean.
So you had to spend some extra pennies to get the sterilizing tablets, else risk getting a stomach bug from drinking the mold?.(no I didn't do that ,myself)..
A few months back I was in my local bike shop and came across a Camelbak Reservoir Dryer. I paid £9.99 for mine but happened to see them again in Halfords for £8.99.
This looks like a short sot of hanger. You cut it to size and squeeze it through the water pouch's filler cap and let it expand again inside. The idea is ...
