My first hydration pack and I've had it for about 6 months with plenty of use, so I've formed a pretty good opinion of it. The pack is the perfect size for up to half-day rides or hikes, carrying a few essentials and some food bars. The hydration bladder is easy to fill, use, and clean although the cleaning kit does make it a lot easier. The pack is very comfortable and easy to forget it's even there. The two gear pouches are small, but very usable and I can store an insulating layer into ...the pocket between them for cooler weather. The helmet clips are nice to have for off-bike excursions if you don't want to leave it behind. The only (small issue I have is that I'm broad in the shoulders and chest, so the shoulder straps are let all the way out and it puts the magnetic hose clip right near my chin...would be nice if the shoulder straps were a little longer to move the drinking tube farther from my face when I'm not using it.
Nice fit, not too small or big. Just big enough to fit some personal items (wallet, cell phone, car keys, energy bar plus a few bike repair items (tire levers, mini pump, spare inner tube). Bonus - excellent strap management.
This product can only be shipped to U.S. addresses.

Looks like several answers contradict- does this Orange Lobo pack have the new crux reservoir or the old style reservoir?
Eric M
It has the new Crux reservoir in it.
DIANA K
It has the Crux reservoir.

Is the model I'm about to purchase a 2017 model which has the new CRUX reservoir?
Also is the 1.4 lb weight give in the specs with the reservoir?
What is the weight with the reservoir removed?
Scott C
Scott here. I bought this Lobo Camelbak and weighed it (1 lb without reservoir, 1 lb 7.5 oz with reservoir). Perfect balance between capacity and weight for me (for both mountain and road biking). The baffle down the middle of the reservoir minimizes sloshing when half full. On top of that it's close to old school Denver Bronco Orange (good visibility on the road).

The backpack I received has the CRUX reservoir. The weight of the backpack includes the reservoir. I cannot answer your other question, I do not have a scale and cannot weigh the backpack.

Does this model have the Magnetic Tube Trap?

Yes
Mark H
This model does not.

I purchased a 2017model, red and blue trim, from your store and it does have the Magnetic Tube Trap.
