Rated 3 out of 5 by Spare hiker from Tô small I bought for my son at Boyscout store in 2017. Perfect for daypack, roomy and even can strap a rolled pad for sleeping bag. This new model is far below to compare the old model. It is packed, compressed. Not enough room and no strap underneath. The reservoir's lid doesn't have the lookalike-claws to help keep the bladder's opening standup to dry. Disappointed

Rated 1 out of 5 by Macbirddog from A far cry from the original mule Not at all happy with this. Just purchased 3 weeks ago and not at all impressed. I’ve used the original mule for 15 years (loved it) and wanted a new one and this has fallen way short of expectations. The “ergonomic” bladder is a huge step back from the quarter turn lock bladder. Very hard to screw on and get a good seal. In fact, I got it stuck and broke the cap trying to remove it. It also won’t allow you to fill the bladder full as they’ve reduced the size of the pack so much that it forces the water back to the top, and there’s no way to hold the bladder in place like the previous mule. The pack rides up too high on your back and makes it uncomfortable. I would absolutely not recommend purchasing this pack.

Rated 2 out of 5 by JBforever from Not as good as my old Mule Bought this to replace my heavily used and fading Camelbak that I LOVED! Not a fan of the color but I dont buy packs for fashion. As a few others mentioned, had trouble with the bladder leaking from the lid. You have to be VERY CAREFUL to get the lid seated perfectly so you dont get drenched on the trail(or lose it all on the way to the trail)! I've now mastered this feat, but wish it were easier. REALLY dont like the new clasp design on the straps! First time I used it, I pushed it in and it didnt get seated just right so it didnt hold and came open. Have had trouble with it EVERY time I try to use it since. Love the old style and don't see ANY benefit to the new one. Too flimsy and easy to break/bend. The new bladder style is not easy to get in/out of the pack. It hardly fits (too tight) even when the pack is empty, never mind when Its full! Can't figure why it has the 2 compartments or how to put it into the pack area that has a rigid tunnel for improved air flow thru the back. Do they mesh together somehow??? All that being said, this is a durable, moderately large capacity bike/ hiking pack that holds a ton of stuff. And that's what really counts. If there weren't so MANY little issues, I'd rate this a lot higher. Still choking on the price, but I believe you (usually) get what you pay for.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from It used to be mine.... I bought this pack for myself a couple years ago. My wife liked it so she kept it. She doesn't use it as often as I would but since I carry everything, I got myself the fourteener 24. The mule carries what my wife needs: water and snacks, a jacket just in case, and other small items that she could use. I do wish I should've bought it in another color since she made it hers.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Sikes from Better in most ways, annoying bite valve angle This is my third Camelbak in over a 23 year span. Each one gets better but there are compromises. I love the new Crux bladder fill system but absolutely hate the new 45 degree bite valve angle. The old 90 degree system was substantially easier to use while riding. Sure the new one flows more water but I use it less due to the awkward angle. Otherwise, it's the same high quality I have come to expect.

Rated 4 out of 5 by mtbspiff from Modern materials and design still take a beating After 8yrs or so of 3-4 days a week usage in hot California desert sun to coastal cool fog and rain, the fabric finally started to fall apart. I replaced it with this new MULE. Some of the things that I like about the new design: Pocket design: while the older model had more compartments which I liked, the newer design has deeper pockets. I can keep tools, spare tubes, a pump, and a rain jacket inside the pockets more easily, and the pack doesn't stick out from my back as far. The weight of the pack is more evenly distributed on my back, and doesn't shift the center of gravity so far back because everything lies flatter. The hardware (clips, zippers, etc.) are more robust than the older design. Easier to open and close with full-gloved hands in cold and wet. The pack feels noticeably lighter, and the ventilation between the pack and my back works better for my body shape and style of riding. I have liked the improvements in the reservoir design in every Camelback iteration I've owned. The opening has gotten larger and easier to open, and I've had years of several-times-a-week usage with no gasket or leaking problems. A few iterations and many years ago I had some gasket issues, and was given replacement gaskets as part of the warranty with no questions and no fuss, and have not had any issues with any reservoirs since. Some things I wish were different: The strap for the magnetic clip is only on the right side, and I'm a lefty. I moved the magnetic clip to the chest strap, and that works ok. I was surprised that the shoulder straps don't have a symmetrical design. On both the older design and this newer design, the excess strap length on the waist straps is kept out of the way with elastic bands. On the shoulder straps, the extra strap length is held with velcro bands. The elastic bands degraded on my old pack after about a year or two. I'd like to see the waist straps with the same velcro bands as the shoulder straps. The newer design doesn't have a rain fly. I'm not sure how I feel about this... the fly was useful on my old pack because in cold and wet weather I carried extra layers that couldn't fit inside the pack. I used the rain fly to cover those extra layers, strapped on top of my pack, on my long climbs in the rain. With the new design, I can fit all those layers inside the pack. I would probably find the rain fly to be more cumbersome than it's worth. In muddy conditions, it's kind of nice to only have to clean the rain fly after a ride.

Questions & Answers

Could I use this on a motorcycle through front helmet visor or underneath helmet and hold my wallet in the back pack?

Asked by: Spatel

Thank you for choosing Bass Pro Shops. This could be used while riding a motorcycle with some modifications and there are plenty of pockets to put a wallet.
