Amazon.com Product Description
The most popular mountain biking system on the market just got better. The redesigned M.U.L.E. hydration/cargo pack offers the ultimate blend of features, with a well-organized overflow cargo system, a weather-resistant MP3 pocket, and a 3-liter liquid capacity that keeps you hydrated for more than three hours on the trail. The pack is notably comfortable thanks to the removable waist belt and dynamic suspension harness, which maximize load stability. The Air Director back panel, meanwhile, delivers enhanced ventilation on hot days--a must for hard-core bikers who want to maintain their high energy level. Add in such bonuses as a secure 540-cubic-inch cargo pocket with an internal organizer, a durable splash guard that protects the pack from mud and abrasion, and reflective details that help you stay visible in low-light conditions and you have a great pack for virtually any mountain biking scenario (and a few non-biking situations as well). The pack by which all others are judged, the M.U.L.E. is backed by a two-year warranty (with a lifetime warranty on the Omega reservoir). About CamelBak
CamelBak is the originator and world leader in hands-free hydration systems. The first CamelBak products proved to be very popular among mountain bikers and motocross riders, because it allowed them to drink without taking their hands off of the handlebars in technical terrain. The product began to cross over into other sports when scientific studies showed athletes drank more fluids and performed better when they wore a CamelBak. Since then, athletes from an ever-growing list of sports and activities use CamelBak hydration systems for their convenience and performance benefits. In addition to cycling, CamelBak has Hands-Free Hydration systems for hiking, running, snowboarding and skiing. CamelBak?s state-of-the-art packs and hydration systems have benefited athletes, outdoorsmen, and soldiers around the world. While CamelBak has grown tremendously since the early days, one thing hasn't changed: CamelBak still believes in the performance advantage that proper hydration delivers for just about any activity. The privately-held company is headquartered in Petaluma, California.

 Nice replacement for old one ! August 26, 2008
This was to replace original one bought about 5-6 years ago. It stood up to lots of abuse over the years of hiking and scrambling. Hopefully the new one lives up to that std too ! So far so good !
A really good system August 22, 2008
I ordered this from Amazon back in the spring. I've used it day hiking and on a week long trip back packing to the Gila Wilderness in New Mexico. When carrying the back pack, I placed the entire thing in my back pack and routed the hose where I could drink from it. When day hiking from a camp I used the Camel Back to carry lunch as well as water. There is also room for a small camera and other odds and ends. It's really well made. The drinking tube doesn't leak. It's comfortable to wear. I really detest a water bottle or fanny pack bouncing against me. There's none of that with the Camel Back. We got caught in a late snow fall and cold weather snap. The drinking tube froze up but that's not the fault of the pack of course. Just means you may need to stuff the drinking tube inside the pack and if it's cold enough it will freeze anyway. This is the first one I've had and I found it really good for staying hydrated in the dry thin air. With this sytem you can take frequest small drinks rather than occasional large drinks from a bottle in the back pack. One of the members of our group is an avid back packer and he remarked that he was going to get one after seeing a couple of us using them.

Female hiker/mtn. biker loves it! July 16, 2008
I have had my Camelbak mule for about 8 years now. Yes, it's an older model but with the same features and smililar appearance. It has lasted a long time and I have used it for mtn. biking and hiking. It holds what I need.. snacks, camera, phone, small jacket, sun block, hats, etc. I am in my early 30's and find that with small kids I now need a slightly larger one to hold lunches and other provisions while hiking with them. This mule is labeled for a man but this is what I have found. I can adjust the chest strap up above the chest and tighten or loosen as I see fit to fit a woman's chest, the waist belt has velcro attachment so I can remove it completely and it still stays snug and tight with the other straps. I am 5'6" and I have not noticed it being too long for me. The 100 ounces is never too much and doesn't weigh too much. I often finish my water on hikes and bike rides. If you aren't going far and don't drink much water you can just fill it half way. I always find that it's better to have too much than not enough! And with 3 and 4 year old boys I have purchased the mini-mule Camelbak for each of them and they love it! What awesome products. We did a family hike that took 5 1/2 hours and we all had our camelbaks on. I think it truly helped us make it together.
Great Pack, no complaints July 12, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I've been using this pack at least once every weekend since I bought it (have used it at least 25 times).
It is compact enough to not get in the way when I'm scrambling through brush.
It has enough internal storage to keep 8 protein bars, sun glasses, camera, phone, keys, compass, knife, bandages, sun hat, wallet, guide book, and a full 100oz water bladder. And I wouldn't say it is "full", if I had more I wanted I could take it along.
It has straps on the outside, which I use to hold my large shell (in Seattle, you cannot predict the rain or the temperature).
It is strong enough that I've dropped it plenty of times onto rocks, pulled it through bushes / trees, and don't see any signs of wear & tear yet.
Great pack, exactly what I was looking for, I've taken 8 hour hikes with it without a problem, and without wishing for anything more.
