Review on CamelBak Mini M U L Camouflage Size Sports & Fitness for Running by Jeff Labore

I have 2 Camelbaks left - Snoblast and regular MULE - and I bought this one for my 9 year old. The design is great, but when I received it I was immediately disappointed. The hose connection to the bladder can leak very easily. Unlike other Camelbaks, the Mini doesn't use a fancy snap-in system, instead simply sliding onto a plastic HydroLock. This connection leaks fairly easily as the hose is slightly displaced and loses its tightness. It is also too easy to improperly close the bladder lid, resulting in leakage. The lid is held by a thin plastic cup that popped out the first time you poured. It was frustrating to slide it back in and then it kept getting in the way of closing it. Finally, removing/inserting the bladder is very time consuming and frustrating because the hole is so small. Unlike other Camelbaks, there is no zipper here - you stuff it at the end through a small hole at the top of the hydration compartment. these inferiorities.
