Review on πŸͺ Stay Hydrated with the CAMELBAK M.u.l.e. Lr 15 Hydration Backpack by James Salem

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very handy for storing and storing water

I've used other hydration packs before but they were all just for water storage. The inclusion of additional storage made me feel like compromises, but I was perfectly happy with this device. First, it's a whopping 3 liters of water to carry around. You might think it's awkward, but they keep it low. The reservoir includes a divider to prevent spilling during a big move. Getting in and out is also easy. The bottom/back panel with lumbar strap zips off to get it out of the way and then you can unzip to access the compartment. It slides in easily and has a buckle and strap to keep it in place even when the compartment is open. Plug in the end of the hose and you're done. When I removed the hose to pull it back out, some water spilled out, but actually not much. There is also a nice addition here: a rain cover and another removable cover for things like small tools. The most important thing is that above the water there is all the remaining space to carry things. You can see in my photo that I have a 360 degree camera on a selfie stick and it fits with no problems. Plenty of space for snacks or clothes. This was what I was looking for when we took two girls on camping trips with my family. In this area you also get a zippered compartment and multiple elastic loops to secure your cargo and keep it from shifting. Speaking of attachment, I was happy to see that there are straps on the outside as well. There really are opportunities everywhere. Here we see a drinking tube and a good handle mechanism. When you're active, you don't have to fiddle with reattaching after you've had a drink, and it has a magnetic feature to pull the tube back into the clip. It's just as easy to tear yourself away from this clip whenever you want. You get big straps that fit snugly, keep the handset close and prevent it from dangling. Here you will find another bag. I was hoping it would hold my phones but it's not big enough. When you put the backpack on, you quickly notice the back plate, which helps to distribute the weight correctly and really pulls everything together into a manageable package. I used it on a recent camping trip and was very happy with everything. No back fatigue and easily accessible H2O. I can't argue
