The CamelBak M.U.L.E. Mountain Bike Hydration Pack is the updated classic for riders who need maximum stability on technical terrain. It combines 12 liters of total storage with a 3-liter Crux reservoir featuring Quicklink for easy refilling. The Air Director back panel and ventilated harness keep you cool and comfortable, while the removable stability belt lets you customize the fit. An integrated tool roll, secure zip pockets, and exterior helmet carry provide versatile organization. Partially made with post-consumer recycled materials, this pack is as eco-conscious as it is functional.
CamelBak M.U.L.E. Hydration Pack: The Trail-Ready Riding Companion
Whether you're shredding singletrack or grinding out a long endurance ride, the M.U.L.E. carries what you need without slowing you down. The 3-liter Crux reservoir delivers 20% more water per sip, and the Quicklink system makes filling and cleaning a cinch. The Air Director back panel channels airflow to keep your back cool, and the ventilated harness breathes with you. The removable stability belt adds support when you're loaded down and can be detached for a lighter feel on shorter rides.
How Much Gear Can You Fit in a CamelBak M.U.L.E. 12L Hydration Pack?
With 12 liters of storage, you can carry a full day's worth of ride essentials. The main compartment fits a spare tube, tire levers, a multi-tool, and a light jacket. The integrated tool roll keeps your repair kit organized, and the secure phone pocket protects your device. An exterior helmet carry allows you to stash your lid when you're off the bike. For longer adventures, you can add a bladder of your own, but the 3L reservoir keeps you hydrated for hours.
Removing the Stability Belt on Your CamelBak M.U.L.E.
The stability belt on the M.U.L.E. is fully removable. Unclip the sternum strap, then lift the belt away from the pack's attachment points. Removing the belt reduces weight and increases airflow, making it ideal for short rides where you don't need extra load support. Reattach it easily when you're carrying more gear.
Finding the Right Fit: Torso Size and Adjustability
The M.U.L.E. features an adjustable sternum strap and a removable stability belt, but it doesn't have a torso length adjustment. It comes in two sizes: S/M and M/L. To find your fit, measure your torso from your C7 vertebra to your iliac crest. If you're between sizes, opt for the larger one for better coverage.
