A big pack that doesn't feel like a big pack

CamelBak M.U.L.E. Hydration Pack - 520cu in

Rating for this product: 4 June 15, 2009

I've used a Classic CamelBak for the last few years because I didn't want too much bulk on my back.
After a month of rainy days here in the Wasatch and not being able to stuff a light raincoat I went for the M.U.L.E, and have been _very_ happy with it. It comes with a waist strap, but I haven't needed it, as the pack feels secure - and most importantly - not too bulky.

I agree with Laura though, about the zippers. Within a week the two tabs have broken off, requiring me to tie a bit of cordelette onto them. It's not a big deal, but that's why I gave this pack a 4 instead of a 5.
