Fantastic MULE backpack for hiking!

I have long been a fan of Camelbak gear for all our outdoor needs. I've tried Osprey and Geigerrig and keep coming back to Camelbak for quality and functionality. I have a very similar backpack (LUXE - designed for women) for hiking that I use almost every day. I work as a subcontractor for a dog walking company, taking groups of 6-8 dogs off leash on trails in the canyons, foothills and mountains around the Salt Lake Valley. My husband came with me more and more often and needed his own backpack. I ordered this for him but wanted to prove it on the trail first. That's great! First, this tan color is great because it hides dirt and grime, which is clearly visible on my gem blue color bag. These lumbar reservoir packs are THE BEST! MUCH more comfortable and less strain on your neck and shoulders! The bag itself, like all other Camelbak bags we've had, is VERY high quality and well made, designed to withstand many adventures. I go out every day, MF REGARDLESS of the weather, so I've really tested my Camelbaks in all conditions (both snow and rain now). I love the rain cover that comes with the set. It works great but I've found that even when I'm not using it my stuff can get wet but the bag will dry out and be fine. All buckles, clips and zippers work perfectly, never snags or snags, the bag stays right where I want it. This bag has enough space for my poncho, first aid kit, collapsible water bottles and two small collapsible dog water bottles, my personal items (keys, phone, etc.) and plenty of space on top for belongings. my 7 leads once we are on the trail and the dogs are calm and ready to go! Thats all I need! My husband has used it himself ever since and loves it and is so happy he has his own hiking backpack! Another home run for the camel. The only thing I like best about my personal backpack is that the hip belt side tabs on my model are zippered, which allows me to keep my phone close at hand on my hip without removing the backpack. This style doesn't have that feature, but it also makes it look sleeker and more minimalist than mine. It's just one of my favorite features so I thought I'd mention it. All in all, this is a fantastic offering from Camelbak for men who enjoy hiking or mountain biking! If this was helpful to you, please click the button below so it may be helpful to others as well. Thanks very much!
