Review on CamelBak M.U.L.E. Mountain Biking Hydration Backpack - Easy Refilling with Magnetic Tube Trap - 100 oz. Capacity by Dale Toth

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good backpack, good quality, not as big as in the pictures

I already had a LOBO (3L water / 6L cargo) and wanted something with more space for longer mountain biking trips, so I picked a MULE (3L water / 9L cargo). It's good packaging, CamelBak quality, has multiple compartments and the container packs and unpacks relatively easily. To avoid leakage, put the cap on the opening of the tank, press it lightly and turn it counterclockwise (!) first. Then when you feel a click, turn it clockwise and tighten it. The quick release hose clamp is very convenient and works well. The ventilation seems to work better than other backpacks I've had, but it doesn't work wonders, you'll still end up with a sweaty back. It claims 9 liters of cargo space, which seems a bit optimistic, although in the end the MULE has enough space to carry everything you need for a day trip.
