Women's Lobo 9

The CamelBak Women's Lobo 9 is a hydration pack for mountain biking, riding, running and hiking, shaped around a woman's torso with an S-curved shoulder harness. The CamelBak Women's Lobo 9 comes with a 2 L Crux reservoir and Quicklink system, and adds an Air Support back panel, magnetic tube trap, helmet carry, tool pockets and a removable waist strap.

Who it's for

Women who want a pack that fits rather than one that merely adjusts. The S-curved harness is contoured to a woman's body and the pack itself is shaped around a woman's torso, for improved comfort and stability whether you are out of the saddle on the climbs at Nerang or picking a line down the rocks at Mount Joyce. It is just as at home on a long trail run through Springbrook or a half-day walk with a shell and lunch.

Capacity and fit

• Reservoir: 2 L Crux with the Quicklink system
• Harness: S-curved, contoured to a woman's body, in 3D Vent Mesh with extra cargo space
• Back panel: Air Support, body-mapped to vent the hottest parts of your back
• Stability: removable waist strap
• Storage: integrated pockets to keep tools and a repair kit organised, and a helmet carry

Clip the waist strap in for chunky descents and take it off for smooth fire roads or walking. The ventilated harness and Air Support back panel are designed for breathability, which counts on a sticky Queensland summer morning.

Drinking and refilling

The Magnetic Tube Trap keeps the drinking tube secure and accessible when you need it, and it works with all CamelBak reservoir tubes. To refill, lift the Crux reservoir out of the pack, fill it at the tap and slide it back in.

Cleaning and mould

Mould starts when water sits. After every outing, empty the reservoir, rinse it and the tube, and hang the reservoir open until it is completely dry inside before it goes back in the pack.

Looking after it

Shake out grit after a dusty ride and let a sweaty pack air out rather than zipping it away damp. Take the reservoir out before stowing the pack so the back panel and pockets dry properly too.
