Camelbak launches new load carriers with a low center of gravity

The hydration backpack pioneer Camelbak is presenting the "Low Rider" backpack line at ISPO. The line includes two new mountain bike backpacks and a hip bag, which is characterized above all by improved support and a lower centre of gravity.

Camelbak's new "Low Rider" backpack line is based on their hydration systems with lumbar reservoir. Thanks to this, the center of gravity is lower and the backpack sits more comfortably on the back. However, not only the hydration bladder but also the rest of the storage space in these rucksacks is lower. This means that the weight is better distributed over the hips instead of resting on the shoulders.
The new hip belt also ensures an improved fit, which gives the entire line a better fit - especially when riding aggressively.

In addition, the new load carriers include a detachable tool roll which is housed in a specific pocket and is quickly accessible. There are also straps for attaching protectors to the outside of the backpack and a practical magnetic holder for attaching the drinking tube.

The low-rider collection consists of the two backpacks "Skyline 10LR™" and "Solstice 10LR™" as well as the hip bag "Palos 4LR™". All three models should be available in the first quarter of this year.

The models at a glance
The Skyline 10LR™ comes with a three-liter lumbar reservoir with Quick Link and has storage space for an additional seven liters of gear. A lumbar compression strap ensures that the water reservoir sits without slipping. The Skyline also features a magnetic tube holder, hip belt pockets, a removable tool roll, helmet hooks and a fleece-lined goggle and media pocket.

The Solstice 10LR™ has the same features as the Skyline backpack, but is specially designed for women. The s-shaped straps are lined with soft-touch fleece to make it comfortable to ride in sleeveless jerseys and tank tops.

The Palos 4LR™ is one of the first hip bags with a water reservoir designed specifically for mountain biking. The minimalist design offers space for a 1.5 liter hydration bladder and holds a further 2.5 liters of material. There is also a magnetic drinking tube holder and lumbar compression for a firm hold. The magnetic tube trap makes drinking easy and fast while the lumbar compression webbing keeps the water weight stable throughout the ride. Unlike the above-mentioned models, the Palos has a permanently integrated and roll-out tool roll. This can also be used as an extra compartment for an additional spare tube.
