There’s a reason this is one of our bestselling, longest-running packs: it’s got everything you need, and nothing you don’t. The M.U.L.E. has a narrow-gauge design that keeps it light and maneuverable—so even when it’s fully loaded for a day of mountain biking, it won’t get in your way. The latest edition is built around the brand new Crux reservoir, which is even easier to load and refill, and delivers more water with every sip. Since we launched the first M.U.L.E. in 1996, mountain bikers have been telling us that it hits the sweet spot of size vs. storage: it’s lightweight, but big enough to carry three liters of water and a day’s worth of snacks and gear. Over the years, we’ve also added air channels to keep your back cool, universal helmet hooks, and clever compartments for stashing tools, keys and electronics. The latest version also features a magnetic tube trap that snaps easily into place, so you can hydrate without taking your eyes off the trail.

Water capacity is perfect for the thirsty Lots of pockets so that people are asking to use a pocket…lol! Bigger than I wanted but couldn’t find anything else at the right price. Water capacity is perfect for the thirsty, like me.
Great for ACL! I bought this for a music festival but have so far only used it on long day hikes.

It holds plenty of water, but as with all hydration packs, the water takes up most of the cc of the pack. If anyone is curious, this is a great size for ACL and adheres to the backpack standards while still letting you carry all your necessities (wallet, poncho, maybe an extra shirt,…
The best hydration pack ever The Mule is the king of hydration packs. I have owned two of these since 1996, each lasting about 10 years under heavy duty mountain biking all over the US. When It came to replace pack, this is the one I reached for. The storage is better spaced and equipped than the earlier models, and it rides a little better then the previous version. The bladder is the new Crux bladder, which meats the older Omega style hands down.
