CamelBak M.U.L.E

Simply outstanding. I have no reservations at all about recommending the Mule, none, zero, nada. I've had other CamelBaks and all have been very sturdy, no tears or breaks whatsoever. I moved into the Mule for the additional storage area it provides. When I'm mapping trails I generally carry not only the GPS equipment but also a camera, spare batteries, snacks for me,  a light jacket, my 1st aid  kit, etc. You get the idea! When I'm mapping out a new trail I tend to travel fairly heavy, but don't necessarily want to take a full blown day pack, and this beast of a hydration pack  hauls it all very comfortably.  I got mine from Amazon (CamelBak MULE Hydration Pack 2008 - 100 oz. (3 L) - 5 Colors ) but Sierra Trading Post also carries them at times.

Numbers and other errata for the MULE: Holds 3 liters (100oz) of fluids. 1 main storage space. 1 smaller storage space. There's also a webbed area between the two storage units for additional storage. 1 IPod or cell phone pocket.

The Air Director back is a nice touch. You'll still sweat but your back wont be dripping due to the air channels molded into the the back pad.  

Great gear, I highly recommend it.

I used the MULE when I mapped these trails: Click to learn more!
