CamelBak M.U.L.E. Pro 14 Bike Hydration Backpack

This pack has the space needed to be the pack mule for a family of riders. This is a very well made and comfortable pack. I use it primarily for aggressive trail riding and carry all the supplies needed to make it out and back. Plenty of water for long rides and space for gear, tools, snacks, and whatever the ride requires. It's sturdy (crashed on it a couple of times) and very breathable. This will be the second one, for my son that needs more water capacity and his own gear for rides. Excellent pack.

Maiden voyage was a 12 mile hike in a remote national forest and I am very please with the purchase. I've been limping along with 2 liter bags for years and having 3 liters was very much appreciated. The water bag goes in and out of the bag with ease and the tube only needs to be fished through 2 holes (not sure you can call them holes). The tube can go on either side depending on your preference. There is a lot of storage space with this pack without making the bag itself big or bulky. It is comfortable to wear and didn't grind down on my shoulders. The design to allow your back to to get some air actually works really well. Do you still get some wet back shirt? Yes, but nothing like I have with other bags I have been using.

Update: I've now had this CamelBak for a year and have used it on multiple occasions, incl a recent 14er hike in CO, and absolutely love it. The design and weight distribution are outstanding, as is the number and location of storage pockets. Don't waste your $$ on a cheaper backpack; I did and regretted it. I bought this to replace a cheaper (non-CamelBak) water backpack we purchased 2 yrs ago. It was a pain from the start: hard to clean, the mouthpiece frequently leaked, etc. The final straw was when the mouthpiece came apart while hiking up a 14er with my son - about the worst place to have a water-pack malfunction!! We've had a smaller one of these for yrs and have never experienced any problems with it, so this time I paid to get the quality we needed. We've used this backpack several times and it's been great.

The pack sits perfectly on the back. However, the bite valve is awkwardly positioned, and the magnet doesn't hold it securely in place, which is especially annoying for enduro riders. When the pack is fully loaded, it's quite difficult to slide the hydration bladder back into its vertical compartment along the spine. Also, all the straps are made of mesh, making me question their long-term durability. For context, I own the previous model, which has lasted for over 8 years.

Perfect size

Excellent in so many ways. Its contour fits very nice and snug on the back. Love the ventilation. Just enough pockets and the bladder is very easy to insert and remove. Front pockets are a must these days and these don't disappoint. Magnetic tube strap mostly stayed in place though extra rocky downhill sections tend to rock it loose.

This is a high-quality bag.

My old MULE was in such bad shape, broken latch, corroded zipper and bladder had some issues connecting with drinking tube. Purchased for Christmas and have used 8 times for so far and very pleased. Great fit, good pocket space. Overall better than my old one.

Praktisches Teil, mit sehr vielen Fächern für Diverse Sachen die mit auf Tour müssen

Love this backpack. Bought it for a trip to Disney. Filled it with ice in the morning on the way to the parks - 7am. By some wizardry the water was still cold at 4pm after a long amd extremely hot Florida day. I will buy another for the next trip so I can carry around a ton of water and not have to pay 5 bucks a bottle. Other perks - it hs a curve to it so it stays off your back and air can flow around so you don’t get super sweaty. Straps are maybe the only option side - they aren’t padded. I didn’t care but my wife wasn’t a fan.

This is a very light weight and well thought out cycling bag. I have never wanted to use the drinking system for these bags so I removed the reservoir but bought the separate CAMELBAK Back Impact Protector Panel to put in its place. The bag has a small zip pocket at the top for my keys, a large full length, open pocket on the back to stash my raincoat and a cool 'hidden' smart phone sized pocket on the bottom left corner. Inside there is ample room with 2 large full bag sized zipped compartments for all your needs including a spare battery for an e-bike. On the back and front there are loops to attach clip bike lights and GoPro etc.... I like the chest strap which is adjustable up and down not just length. This bag also keeps you warm! My only gripe is I would like one in red or maybe yellow to improve visibility when on roads and maybe some reflective areas.

A tenu chaque journées sans le remplir à nouveau. Très bonne contenance. Léger, pratique avec ses poches à l’avant. Pratique à remplir. Le petit moins, c’est l’absence de protection de l’extrémité du tuyau. Si on veut poser le sac au sol, la tétine pose parterre, pas très hygiénique

Ottimo prodotto, molto resistente, ottima capienza, sembra di non averlo addosso. La sacca dell’acqua molto semplice da mettere e da togliere e da pulire. Consigliatissimo
