Camelbak’s 2016 range has some great new models coming out. As well as some new colours for the Kudu, with its integrated back protector, there’s a whole new range of packs, dubbed the Low Rider Collection. These take the slim lumbar reservoir seen on the Volt and Charge packs and puts them into a low, wide 10L pack and a low profile bum bag (Bum Bak?)
The Low Rider packs are designed to sit lower on your back, keeping your shoulder blades cooler. The 3L bladder sits lower, over your hips to keep the weight low and the shoulder straps carry hardly any weight while the bag has enough height for a pump and enough space for a jacket and a big sandwich…
Let’s not call it an enduro bag, but we expect to see lots of these out on the trails for riders out on those short, speedy after work rides. The bag is 4L total, of which there’s a 1.5L reservoir and 2.5L cargo space. There’s a clip-out tool section too. The hose exits the bag out of the side and reaches round to clip over your hip bone.

Really? Thought they’d be better off with a bottle and a seat pack – puntertastic stuff
Not sure I’d want to use a seatpack on a dropper equipped bike. A lot of them want a loop around the post…
I’ve taken to using an Alpkit fuel tank bag instead. Hate carrying anything on my back.
