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

Item #CAM0293 | 68 in Stock
5 Star Rating

Best Hydration Pack in all of Backcountrydom

By Ranked #34 - Trail Running Hydration April 3, 2009

Described as a mountain biker's hydration system on the CamelBak site, Backcountry properly describes it as both for biking and hiking. Being a huge MULE fan for years, this model is no exception. First, it has more space (not a lot, but some), and it comes in a range of colors, even cheesy colors and colors you would not wear during hunting season. The strapping system is also more advanced, so you don't end up with all this nylon fluttering about. It is, in my opinion, the best overall hydration pack made today. The MULE is comfortable, light (when you need the perfect day pack on your Pioneer Mountain Trinity pilgrimage, just strap it to your backpack for later use), easily accessible (the open pocket, for instance), and exceedingly durable. This model is just as adaptable as previous models, allowing for quick-n-easy packing flexibility depending on the activity. And yes, it's great for mountain biking as well.
