Introduction

This manual provides instructions for the proper setup, operation, and maintenance of your CamelBak Women's Solstice LR 10 Bike Hydration Pack. Please read these instructions carefully before using your hydration pack to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

1. Filling the Reservoir

1. Remove the Crux Lumbar Reservoir from the pack.
2. Unscrew the large cap on the reservoir.
3. Fill the reservoir with water or your preferred hydration liquid. Do not overfill.
4. Screw the cap back on tightly to prevent leaks. Ensure the cap is fully seated and aligned.

2. Inserting the Reservoir into the Pack

3. Adjusting the Pack for Fit

Proper adjustment ensures comfort and stability during activity.

• Lumbar Reservoir with Integrated Compression: The design shifts weight to your lumbar region. Adjust the compression straps to secure the reservoir snugly against your lower back.
• Dual Wing Belt: Fasten the inner belt first to transfer weight to your hips. Then, secure the outer belt to compress cargo and stabilize the pack.
• 3D Ventilated Mesh Harness: Adjust the shoulder straps to achieve a comfortable fit without excessive pressure on your shoulders. The mesh design promotes airflow.
• Sternum Strap: Adjust the sternum strap height and tension to further stabilize the pack and distribute weight evenly across your chest.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning the Reservoir

Regular cleaning prevents mold and bacteria growth.

1. Disconnect the tube from the reservoir.
2. Fill the reservoir with warm water and a mild soap solution.
3. Use a reservoir brush to scrub the interior.
4. For the tube, use a small tube brush to clean the inside.
5. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
6. Hang the reservoir upside down to dry completely before storage.

2. Cleaning the Pack

• Hand wash the pack with mild soap and warm water.
• Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the fabric and components.
• Air dry the pack completely before storing.

Troubleshooting

• Reservoir Leaks: Ensure the reservoir cap is screwed on tightly and correctly aligned. Check the O-ring seal for any damage or debris. Inspect the tube connections for secure fit.
• Difficulty Drinking from Bite Valve: Ensure the bite valve is in the open position (twist to open/close). Bite down firmly on the valve while sucking. Check for kinks in the hydration tube.
• Uncomfortable Fit: Re-adjust all straps (shoulder, sternum, hip belt, and lumbar compression) to distribute weight evenly. Ensure the lumbar reservoir is seated correctly.
• Odor in Reservoir/Tube: Clean thoroughly using the maintenance steps. For persistent odors, use specialized cleaning tablets designed for hydration reservoirs.
