Sweet Pack or Neck Chafe?

Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2020

Color: MulticamVerified Purchase

As seen in my review pic; Camel made the straps much wider than the original version that i purchased in the USMC PX in 2003. I finally lost that one and upgraded to this fine pack. I will be brief, no one has time for long BS first world reviews where people complain about what they didn't get. .
One: The neck space does not exist if you are like me and like to wear the front strap tight so it doesn't slosh around it seems like it will rub your neck completely off by the end of two hours. I am hoping it breaks in, but for now it is rather annoying.
two: they skimped on insulation thickness, and strap padding. (loss of weight; oh yea and comfort)

Pros, it will last for a long time, fits all the needs of my daily adventures far and near, keeps you hydrated, has fancy MOLLE attachments that no one really has a use for on such a small pack; And hey I got it for $90 bucks when Camel is selling it for $170 cant go wrong with that.

Cheers.

Love the MULE. I have owned MULE versions for almost the past decade. I still have two of the older ones and they are fantastic. This one is by far the best one yet. Storage has been modified to have more storage in outer poacket (very cool water bottle retention system inside that), as well as inner storage area has been redone to allow for easy accessibility to stuff. Of all the packs, I truly believe the MULE is the best for the money over the HAWG, Spartan and others. Definitely gonna be using this for the next 5 years or more.

Bulletproof hydration system

Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2019

Color: MulticamVerified Purchase

I hardly ever do reviews… But I figured a product of such superiority deserved it. This pack is everything you would need in a hydration pack plus some. There’s enough room to put notebooks, pens, multi tools, food, etc. The fabric is top quality cordura, straps are padded and tough, and the zippers are very heavy duty. I think Camelbak made this specifically for abuse (hence MIL SPEC). I’m taking this to a military school where I will wear it daily. I’m sure it will hold up we’ll and I know the pockets will come in handy.

Purchased this replace my older ACU camelback I've had since 2006. I used it as soon as I got for my week trip to Disneyworld. Having the pockets on the outside is very helpful for holding extra gear you dont want in the pockets.
My only complaint is not having enough velcro space for both the name tape and the rank on the upper pocket.
The lower pocket has several pouches on the inside and an extra zipper pouch for other smaller items.
Camelback need to figure out ans better insulation system for the hose to keep the water cooler when its sitting there not being used.

This is my favorite day pack now. Lightweight, slim, only room for the essentials, but that's what I was looking for and this is perfect. I take this on runs, hikes, or just on walks with my dog, and this is perfect for these things. The chest strap fits perfect, and the waist strap is velcro'd on, so it can be easily removed when necessary, but still secure when you need it. The pockets are larger than I expected, they go pretty deep and expand pretty well. Overall great quality, small inside space, and nice pocket storage,definitely would recommend as an essential day pack.

Not Quite As Good As Before

Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2015

Color: MulticamVerified Purchase

I just received my new Multicam Camelbak Military MULE. A few months back I purchased the older version of the same pack in the same color for my son who is in the Army, and now I can compare them head to head. First off, I rate the older version 5 stars, and I can only give the newer version 4 stars. Here is a list of what I liked, and what my son likes, about the older version:

- Antidote bladder is fantastic! It's easy to use and holds lots (3 liters) of water.
- The older version is comfortable to wear. The top and bottom cargo are separated which lets the bag flex easily. This allows you to cinch the bag down tight to your back and let you run full tilt comfortably. And more importantly, the shoulder straps are comfortably padded.
-There are two (2) top pouch sections. A small one (1) on the top front for sunglasses, and bigger one just behind it for NVG or binoculars.

The newer pouch has a few differences:
- The top and bottom sections are no longer separated. This makes the bag a bit stiffer, although it does give it a cleaner look.
- The shoulder straps are also stiff and lack the same amount of padding the older version has. This is the 1/2 the reason why I deducted a star from my rating.
- The top section only has one compartment, instead of two (2). There is no longer a small front zippered pocket for sunglasses. This is the other half of the reason I deducted a star from the rating. In addition, the drain holes are no longer there. In the event you take the bag under water, the bottom and top compartments do not directly drain out.
- There a lot more Molle attachments now. Instead of the coyote loops, they have a Multicam facade with laser cut slots to loop the Molle straps through. By the way, the Multicam still looks great. For those who need lots of attachment loops, this would be a plus.
- They added a key chain lanyard to the mesh pocket inside of the bottom compartment.

Overall, Camelbak quality remains high. However, I prefer the older version because I believe it is more comfortable.

Day Hike Essential Pack

Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2020

Color: MulticamVerified Purchase

This Camelback is much nicer than I had anticipated. The material is really strong, the zippers feel good and the Camelback itself is really nice quality. The mouthpiece detaches from the tube and the tube detaches from the reservoir. Just makes cleaning and drying MUCH easier. This bag also has a good amount of storage for gear while hiking or mountain biking. Overall I am very impressed.

Good, small(ish) backpack

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 5, 2020

Color: MulticamVerified Purchase

As one can expect from Camelbak, this is a well made, high quality backpack. It is best suited for day-long summer hikes, as it has a 3-litre water container included. So, you get enough hydration, and you can fit in enough warm weather cloths if you need a change or an extra light layer. Plenty room for some food too, and for some extra items. It has mole system options to ad extra small mole-bags. The only negative side I can see is lack of some ventilation solution on the side that is in contact with your back. I expect one will get plenty sweaty there, soon after doing anything more strenuous than an easy walk.

Qualità ottima
Resistenza ottima tasche molto capienti e organizzate
Grande spazio per l'acqua
Prezzo forse un tantino alto per il litreggio dello zaino
L'unico difetto che trovo è che ha le cinghie di regolazione che man mano si smollano
Quindi lo zaino ad un certo punto cade in fondo alla schiena e non sta ben ancorato alle spalle
