Product Review - The Camelback Mule

Camelback Mule:
For rides upto 4-5 hours the Mule is ideal and I rarely ride without it. The Mule has a 100 oz Bladder.

During activity, 6 to 8 fluid ounces of water or electrolyte beverage should be consumed every 15 minutes. It's important to note that usually water consumption is sufficient unless the activity lasts longer than 90 minutes, at which point electrolyte beverages are also recommended.
I have owned a Camelback since I started riding back in 1999 I have purchased a few bladders and have a the smaller Camelback Hydrobak which I use for racing. This past Christmas I received a new Mule. I love the additional room and while I miss the Bungee cord type tie downs the new front Carrier works quite well for stashing a jacket or other bulkier items.
The 2008 Mule has 549 cu inches of Storage capacity, has an MP3 player pocket is more comfortable (and presumably cooler I got it for Christmas and Live in the Northeast) to wear. The smallest Organizer is great for food Items and fits a multi-tool, Co2 Pump, and cell phone. The larger organizer easily fits a tube, mini tire pump, and shock pump. Aside from a helmet my camelback is the one piece of gear I most want to have with me on a ride. A well stocked camelback can set you up as the MacGyver of the trails (Although I dont think he every repaired a derailuier)
