Camelbak's popular popular Mule has been redesigned for 2006 with a 25% increase in cargo capacity. It now sports a soft-lined mp3 player pocket that will hold an iPod and a mobile phone - or if you go riding to escape technology, you can just about squeeze in a pair of shades. There is also a limited edition four season version with a thermal control kit which basically stops your tube freezing up.
A zip opening in the back means you can acces the bladder without the contents of the Camelbak falling out. This also makes it considerably easier to get the bladder in when the pack is stuffed to the gills. The outer mesh pocket isn't big anough to hold a helmet, but you can securely stow a waterproof jackete and the new splash guard helps keep it clean. The sternum strap attachment is particularly trick and the Mule had all the hallmarks of CamelBak construction quality with a lifetime warranty on the bladder.
In conclusion...
