Men's M.U.L.E. Pro Bike Hydration 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.

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.

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.

Overall I am very happy with this pack.Cons.1. The buckles suck though, you have to really pay attention when you put them together or they get jammed. I wish Camelbak would have just used regular buckles.2. The magnetic tube holder is worthless. I am a bigger guy but the tube never stays on the magnet.3. It can be a little difficult to put the bladder in the bag but it isn't bad.4. My Samsung S23 ultra is tight in the phone pocket.Pros1. The phone pocket is great. I love being able to get to my phone without having to take my pack off.2. I love the little tool pouch that comes with the pack. I can fit a few tools in it and have also built a small first aid kit to keep in the pouch.3. The "battery" pocket is nice for keeping a spare tube.4. I am 300lbs and the pack fits great. Doesn't move around on me while ridingHopefully this pack holds up long term because I do really like it and would recommend it.

Great quality. Exactly what I was looking for. Good compartments, size. Only thing is the helmet holder is a little odd compared to others (Ospreys is awesome). But that is minimal. Good organizational pockets. Recommend.

This bag was pretty much everything I needed out of a bag and more! There is a secret pocket that perfectly fits any phone. It has easy reach while wearing on the left bottom side. Holds 2 liters of water and the amount of storage is awesome. Only negative is that when the water bag is full, the straps make you're shoulders sore as they are very thin and not padded.

Fits what I need for a bike ride, just the essentials. Has enough space for my pump, tools for tube change, snacks. Pack is stiff and space is kinda cramped so If you have a sweater or need to take another pair of shoes it won't fit depending on what you already have. But its great for working out and carrying what you need incase you get hungry or a flat tire.

I think CamelBak is the originator of the bladder water system. There are cheap copies everywhere. I don't trust them. I got great deal with fast delivery. It's an awesome product which I expect to use weekly for a very long time. This design was perfect for my needs in downhill MTB. I recommend this item to any serious biker. I love mine.
