"Bought this back in 2001. Has been through many hikes, bike rides and other adventures. I'm on my 3rd bladder with it. It has survived sliding down the highway under me at 20 mph with no holes.

Would buy another in a heartbeat, but the way this one is lasting I don't think I will need to."

"This hydration pack is amazing. I used the bladder itself on my first AT trip. The pack is great for day hikes and biking. It's a great size as long as you are planning on bringing minimal extra things."

"I have way too many daypacks but this one’s a keeper.
Camelbak’s MULE was originally not what I was looking for in a daypack but I was gearing up for some summer hiking and camping sessions and bought this under a friend’s recommendation. When I went to the store to pick it up I was surprised on how “compact” it was."

"Twas the night before my great hike, and all was amiss, when suddenly found myself all full of . . . . I reached over to grapple with my gear, when toward me came one great, black-eyed rodent, wigglin' its ears. I grabbed the M. U. L. E by the strap and, with one quick swing, had the rodent twitching its last moment."

"Great for short hikes, size may be a problem if packing more than a lunch and jacket.

Used it all summer up to a 20 mile hike with no problems."

"I love this thing. I wear it when I ride my bike to class whenver it's hot. Always performs well on the trail. Just enough space for the esentials. I can actually hold my Digital SLR in the "jacket" overflow for quick jaunts. Definitely go this with over a 2L, it is completly worth it."
