There's not a whole lot more that can be said about Camelbak that hasn't already been said. It's one of those brands that is tried and true. Its products have been put to the test year after year and it's still the industry leader in hydration packs.
A few years back I was given a Camelbak - Mule for my birthday to take with me on my long mountain bike rides. I had always just used water bottles because I didn't like the idea of having a backpack while riding and having that extra weight on my back bouncing around. In all honesty though, you can hardly tell it's even back there and 2 summers later, I don't leave the house for a bike ride or a hike without it. Since my original Mule, I've purchased other various sizes and models of Camelbak because I've been so impressed.
I recommend the Camelbak Mule for anyone that wants to purchase a hydration pack that is extremely versatile. It's made as a mountain biking specific pack but if you want one for skiing, biking, hiking, etc. and can't afford one for each individual activity, the Mule is your model. It comes with a 100 L bladder and a 549 cu inch pack. The pack is just large enough to throw a shirt in when you start to de-layer or to throw some food in for a day hike. It also conveniently comes in 4 different colors. I would suggest the Mule for anyone who wants a universal, versatile, and very handy hydration pack.
Rating - ****
Overall - Very versatile and size efficient. If you want a pack that will work for biking, climbing, hiking, etc., this is your pack.
