Worst Camelback I ever had. Whoever designed this one needs to be fired. Quality is bad too. Shouldn't have changed the design. . The mule NV I had for 10 years before it finally gave out..Best layout of a bag ever. The new mule the new design clips get stuck all the time, zipperbroke, the too two small pouches at the top. Poor design . Csnt get in and out of main pouches. Bring the Mule Nv back and the outlaw while your at it. Had for 6 monthes now . I'm burning it and switching osprey after over ten years of being with camel bak

I had an older camelbak (maybe 6 years old or so) and recently upgraded to the MULE and it's head and shoulder's better in-terms of comfort, storage, ergonomics and simple functionality.The one thing that I have had a bit of trouble with is the magnetic tube connection. I find it a bit diffult to put back in place while riding a mountain bike. I end up just letting it dangle until I stop and have the time to place it back in its holder.

This is the 3rd Hydration back pack i have owned and i have to say that this is the best one so far (also the most expensive!). the item is well made with with many storage pockets and areas. The item holds a lot, but also as little as you like with its pull in facility making the backpack smaller. The bladder is great and has a high flow but the water tube is not covered :-(, this should be standard at this price and not another Π25 option / upgrade. Also, a couple of spare mouth pieces would not have gone a miss at this price point, but hey, this is how they make money. The helmet strap attachment can be a little fiddly, as can the snap clips. The shoulder straps are great and comfortable, but the waist strap is a little thin and poor, this could have been better ...Β MoreThis is the 3rd Hydration back pack i have owned and i have to say that this is the best one so far (also the most expensive!). the item is well made with with many storage pockets and areas.

Finally the fit and feel of it on your back is nice, the airflow is great and it sits really well, altogether, this is a great rucksack but don't pay full price, wait for a sale and then get one!!

I have used my old MULE pack for many years and finally upgraded to the new version for the updated Crux reservoir, updated shoulder straps, the updated back mesh paneling, and the overall better-looking design. This is my review after a month of mountain bike riding with this pack.The Crux reservoir is definitely a great upgrade over the old style. The quick fill is much easier to work with, but you do have to be careful when screwing it back on for it to seal correctly (just like any watertight lid). Some reviews have stated it does not seal well and I can confirm it seals perfectly when it is threaded correctly. The overall shape of the reservoir is much better at keeping the sloshing down. I suck all the air out of the reservoir before riding to keep the ...Β MoreI have used my old MULE pack for many years and finally upgraded to the new version for the updated Crux reservoir, updated shoulder straps, the updated back mesh paneling, and the overall better-looking design.

Some reviews have stated it does not seal well and I can confirm it seals perfectly when it is threaded correctly. The overall shape of the reservoir is much better at keeping the sloshing down. I suck all the air out of the reservoir before riding to keep the sloshing down and the new shape helps remove the air very quickly and efficiently. The larger diameter tube definitely allows for more water flow but the mouthpiece is holding back from even more flow. You could get way more water per sip if a larger mouthpiece was available. The lightweight shoulder straps are a great upgrade and definitely make the overall pack breath better. Finally, the back mesh paneling works much better than the older style and feels way more comfortable while still feeling protective in case of a crash. Overall I am very happy with the upgrade and look forward to many years riding with this pack! I did not take any photos of riding with it yet but can confirm it looks exactly like the display photos.
M 10 year old Rogue was getting a bit ragged. When I saw this for just under $70 I did some reading and decided it was worth a try.Am I glad I did -it will hold a lot more gear for those longer trips, but is not a lot heavier and is actually cooler (a big issue for Arizona summers).The only downside was the length of the water tube - it seemed a bit short and would kink/collapse when I curved it to put it in my mouth. Somehow it was shipped with only a 34" tube instead of the normal 38.5". Camelback is shipping me a new one, gratis, and I'm going that fixes this issue. If so, this goes up to five stars.
I did some fairly extensive research both on-line and talking to people who use and have used Camelbak products both now and in the past. I went with the MULE because of the 3L capacity and storage ability. This is my first hydration pack, and I'm very happy I chose the MULE. It's just plain over the top quality and capacity. It basically is a part of me when I ride, I don't even have to use the lower strap. I would recommend the Camelbak MULE with no hesitation, it's just flat-out great.
A nice hydration pack...even nicer as it was complimentary with my new bike. The 3 litre bladder and drinking tube are excellent, easy to drink from and easy to clean. The bag is well made and has pockets for tools and things. It's great for a day on the trails with room for a waterproof and sandwiches.The pack is 12 litre so the 3 litre bladder means there is 9 litres of storage space. For longer rides in more remote areas I could do with some more space and it's a tad too small for commuting to work. I think the bladder is the top feature of this pack. I don't know if I'd be prepared to pay over Π100 for one though.... if I was looking for a hydration pack I'd definitely get the bladder though.
Ok, so I bought a hydration pack from FOX many, many years ago and NO issues with it. Zippers starting not to work and it's basically at the end of its life so I bought this one. What a piece of junk. It leaked before I could even walk outside and put it on my back. Camelback should fix this issue. For $80 (on sale) you would expect a better product.
I bought this about 3 months ago and have used it on multiple climbing and hiking trips so far, and i have had absolutely zero problems! The only slight annoyance is the nozzle is at a 45 degree angle as appossed to the old camelbaks 90 degree nozzle, and that can make it a little more of a hassle to use. But all in all still a absolutely amazing product!
Bought this for my husband and i'll start off with the fact that the colors are great (his is the navy and red), no color rubbed off on his shirt on the first wear. The hydration pack is easy to remove and refill, we've tried other styles before and this one is our favorite. This pack also has ample amount of space to store snacks, your key, cell phone and anything else you might need on a day hike. overall great pack, can't wait to put it to use in AZ next month!!
