CamelBak 2016 M.U.L.E. Hydration Pack, Charcoal
There’s a reason this is one of the bestselling, longest-running CamelBak packs: it’s got everything you need, and nothing you don’t. The M.U.L.E. has a narrow-gauge design that keeps it light and maneuverable-so even when it’s fully loaded for a day of mountain biking, it won’t get in your way. Since CamelBak first launched the M.U.L.E. in 1996, it’s earned a reputation for hitting the sweet spot of size vs. storage: it’s lightweight, but big enough to carry three liters of water and a day’s worth of snacks and gear. Over the years, CamelBak has also added air channels to keep your back cool, universal helmet hooks, and clever compartments for stashing tools, keys and electronics. The latest version also features a magnetic tube trap that snaps easily into place, so you can hydrate without taking your eyes off the trail.

No residual plastic taste to water.- Has an internal baffle running down the inside center that helps keep the liquid from sloshing around and keeps the shape of the bladder, compressed and against…
5 stars aren’t enough! I bought a M.U.L.E. for cycling purposes in 1998 and have replaced the bladder 3 times. It is still in outstanding shape and I will still find use for it even though I am excited to have upgraded to the 2016 model. This thing is awesome and I will hope to get the same lifespan out of it. My wife is ecstatic since the additional room provided by this model might allow me to leave the fanny pack behind, but I didn’t make any promises on that. Also, in the 115 degree heat here in Phoenix,…
Great for everything Great choice for those who need the extra space. I use this bag every day for work and play. Enough room for work clothes, my personal first aid kit, rain coat, keys wallet, phone, kit, and it’s incredible. I fill the bladder first then pack it to get it as lean as possible. It’s not bulky at all though just something i do to make it easier to fill. I’ve taken it kayaking, biking, running and it’s been perfect for everything. The insulated parts work great for keeping water whatever temp you…
