What more could you ask for?

Rating:*****
I got this thing a three months ago I now I don't know how I got by with out one. Its good for thus 30+ mile days its got all the room you need for gear and some food plus 3 letters of water but not so big that It will slow you down I fact if not for the blue tube hanging over my shoulder I might forget I had it on at all. The "NV" back ventilation system works good It really dose a good job of keeping the bag off your back, all the straps have elastic loops to keep everything I place and with fore compression straps you can pull it all down real tight so that tings aren't shifting around you while you ride

CamelBak M.U.L.E. NV

Rating:*****

The concept of the CamelBak is genius in general. All I have to say to all on the fence about purchasing a CamelBak,regardless of the amount of outdoor activity you do, just buy it. CamelBak offers a wide range of models that offers features that fit every type of outdoor activity. Just find the one that fits for you. The convenience of having one whether for outdoor activity or just as a small pack for regular daily errands is worth having one, it doesn't have to be solely a hydration pack. The only negative thing I have to say is that I hate that I found it on sale on Backcountry.com after I purchased mine.

Great pack

Rating:****
I've been a fan of Camelbak since I started biking. The straps on my Camelbak Classic finally failed after many years of use. The design of this pack is great. Very adjustable, plenty of room for anything you could want on a day trip, or even a minimilist multi day trip. Fits perfectly for mountain biking or hiking. Only con is that because it has such a large capacity for water and storage the pack is on the heavier side when loaded. Also is quite expensive, but well worth it. The NVIS is perfect for hot and humid weather. Finally a pack that allows your back fresh air! Great pack!

MULE NV

Rating:*****

Replaced an older blowfish with this pack. Much better and adjustable fit, rides closer to your body. Doesn't hold as much inside but with multiple cinch down straps holds even more - just some outside the pack. I like the special pocket for my Iphone - protects it and keeps it handy. On the downside is relatively big and heavy - but I am far from a racer shedding ounces. Overall would highly recommend for someone looking for the all-mountain do-everything pack.

The name describes its goal

Rating:*****
The M.U.L.E. is just that. It carries a compact amount of goods with a large water capacity. Perfect for extended hikes and bike trips on hot days. But if you want to bring a journal or book with lunch, the capacity is limited. The large storage pocket next to the water compartment (when filled), holds little due to the lack of expandable sides. Its a great compact pack that holds necessities, but little room for luxuries.

This backpack is great for cycling and to use during cams! It fits all the water you need for the day! Only problem is if you fill it with 3l Water you cant use the compartments because they are too full

Perfect Size for a day of Rippin

Rating:*****

I've had my m.u.l.e. for almost 7 years and use it constantly, the pack is great for holding a pump, spare tubes, and some mid-ride snacks. Even great for runs and even a light day pack.

"I bought this Camelbak for frisbee golfing and hiking, works great for both. The water with ice added stays cold even hours after Im done frolfing. It has lots of storage, pockets and adjustable straps. The bladder is super tough and I have no worries about it getting ruined anytime soon. My only gripe is that with a full bladder, there isnt much storage room in the main double zipper section/pouch, but there are some straps that you can loosen to get some extra room. Over all, I love it, it looks nice, does what its supposed to do and it does it well. It fits nice on my back and its pretty comfortable. 9.5/10 overall!"
Jake from Seattle, WA at eBags.com on 08/24/2009
"Theres not much room in the bag. Even with the bladder romoved, youre not getting much in it. With the bladder in, thats about all youre carrying. Keys & wallet, but not much more."
David from Kersey, PA at eBags.com on 10/15/2009
"The CamelBak Mule backpack is very comfortable and lightweight. I went hiking last weekend and it is awesome!"
