Comments about CamelBak Lobo Hydration Pack - 100 fl. oz.:
For some basic facts with description notes added.
Lobo now has a 100 fl. oz. - I used to have a 70oz but it would not last on long hot days, very happy to up the volume to this 100oz. It nearly always lasts a day and I have a 30oz bladder sometimes in the pack as a backup/emergency, as I have run out before on a multi day trip.
Holds up to 200 cu. in. of gear - not huge but good for all sorts of snacks and small gear items. I do have a larger (25L) waterproof back pack to take when more gear storage is necessary. I bought the CamelBak extension tube and put the 100oz bladder in the bottom of the back pack when using this pack.
Big Bite™ valve is easy to use - yes easier than the Platypus mouth piece, at least for me it is.
Air Director™ ventilated back panel with Air Mesh shoulder harness - much nicer than the venting on the 70oz Rogue pack (this is a newer generation than the Rogue). I get hot real quick and this ventilation is nice.
Overflow storage - the pack does expand a little to accommodate gear stuffed in an outside pocket areas.
Zippered external top pocket includes an music player holder; zippered lower pocket with a key clip and mesh organizer fits small essentials - really like it having zippers, great for security.
Reflective detailing - well yes there is but it is not the brightest. I added a red flasher to my pack for extra visibility particularly if the following person, vehicle does not have their lights on when in low light conditions.
Camelbak Lobo hydration pack has a low-profile design that enhances stability and precludes pack from interfering with helmets - had not noticed it affecting my helmet/s so this must be correct. Also having the removable belt loop makes a world of difference. The 70oz pack did not have a belt loop and that is one of the two main reasons why I bought up to this pack.
Needed the extra 30 oz and the belt loop.
Yes, I do recommend and would buy again from REI.

Comments about CamelBak Lobo Hydration Pack - 100 fl. oz.:
This pack is the perfect size for a typical 1 to 3 hour ride. Plenty of hydration and the perfect amount of space to store the essentials: multi-tool, first aid kit, pump, spare tube, flashlight, wallet and key.
Very well thought out design - everything fits just right and overflow space can be used for a thin pullover or other items (small lunch maybe)
all in all this is the perfect pack for typical daily MTB rides

Comments about CamelBak Lobo Hydration Pack - 100 fl. oz.:
I love this pack. I had a Thermobak camelback before in the military that was great for having water at the ready, but I hated running in it. It never fit right and always bounced around. Plus there was very little room for extra gear.
I upgraded to the Lobo last year when I started trail running more. After a 9 mile trail run in San Diego desert summer with only a small handheld and no refills, I was THIRSTY! Picked the Lobo up at REI on sale and it has made me a much better runner. No more need for a small handheld or a hip belt (which I have always hated).
I usually take the Lobo whenever I'm doing more than 6 miles. Having access to a constant water supply without having to stop my run at fountains has made me a better runner as I am more conisistent and better hydrated. Additionally, I have pleanty of room for my iPhone (music), some gels and other "emergency" gear.
On longer runs or in the heat, I'm glad I have 100 fl oz because I'll go through over 2.5 L in a 2 hour run if its hot (I'm a big guy and sweat).
I love this pack too because of the versatility. Last night it was 39 degrees dropping down to 32 when I started my 7 mile run. I took my Lobo and was able to put my headlamp and snack in there, as well as my jacket once I started to warm up after a few miles. Also held my gloves and hat.
Works great for day hikes too. Made a little kit with all of the required first aid and emergency items you need for a day hike. Pleanty of room for that AND 3Ls of water.

Comments about CamelBak Lobo Hydration Pack - 100 fl. oz.:
This is my first Hydration pack. I wanted something that would be the best for all uses. I'm training for the Tough Mudder so I wanted something that could be used for running, hiking, walking and riding my bike. Well, this is perfect for me!! Plenty of water for an all day hike and easy to run with it on. If I needed something for just hiking I might have picked a larger pack, so I could have some more cargo room, but 99% of the time this has been perfect.

Comments about CamelBak Lobo Hydration Pack - 100 fl. oz.:
This i s a great little backpack. It holds a ton of water and i have never run out. It's great when you want to "grab it and go."
I use this for mountain biking and quick 1-3 hour hikes.
the "Air Director" back panel doesn't really direct air through the back, i don't know if i just got poorly made or what. But the foam is very soft and extremely comfortable. This pack is extremely light and has plenty of pockets for your phone, wallet, map, and a multi tool.

Best pack for summer use. Lightweight, easy to refill, just enough room for tools, tube, pump, phone, food, etc. I use it almost daily and love it.

Comments about CamelBak Lobo Hydration Pack - 100 fl. oz.:
I actually got this product at a steal and paid about $50 for the orange model (the other colors ran for like $70-80; I guess people don't like orange?) and was stoked about it. Since then I've primarily used it for skiing at Copper/Winter Park in CO, but now that it's warming up it's proving to be great for dayhikes/trail runs as well. First off, the 100ml capacity is awesome; I drink a TON of water and this thing keeps me nice and hydrated. Second, there is ample space for anything you might need on a short hike or ski trip, like a knife, powerbars/food, small first aid kit, map/compass, whatever. The pockets also retain good volume even when the bladder is filled to the brim, which is nice. The detachable hose makes the bladder super easy to remove and fill. The quarter-turn cap is also nice, although I sometimes have trouble putting it back on. The only problem I've had with this so far is freezing when it's like 0-10 degrees on the slopes, but I solved this by keeping it inside my oversized snowboard jacket. If you can't do that I think they actually sell insulating sleeves for the tube but I'm not sure. Bottom line it's a great deal especially for the $50 I paid, but after using it I would be more than willing to pay full price.
