Camelbak - MULE 3 L Mil Spec Crux

Yes, the price is not the cheapest now. It's like that. But the quality is really top! I bought it recently and used it for a 2 x 42km march on the weekend. My load was around 9 kilos (including 3 liters of water in the bladder) and I just thought that the weight would disturb me in the long run. But no, everything was evenly distributed due to the backpack, I had no cramps or great pain. It also adapted perfectly to my body shape, is comfortable, looks stable and is well thought-out. Passages for cables, e.g. that lead to a power bank inside the backpack, sensibly attached loops, spacious pockets and much more: Everything is there. The lasercut mole system is as sturdy as hell. I wanted to pierce a pin there and almost bent my pin needle rather than pierce it through the mole system. The thing won't break so quickly, I'm convinced of that! Not 100% waterproof, of course (it was pouring out of buckets on the 2nd day), but the drainage eyelet mentioned in the info text did its thing very well. The hydration bladder itself also appears to be of very good quality. Wash it out once in advance (neutral soap is recommended for cleaning, I didn't, I used neutral detergent) and filled immediately: You don't taste anything but water. No plastic or other “flavors.” Cleaning is also easy, the whole thing is pretty well thought out and easy to disassemble and clean. I will probably buy the right cleaning kit, there is a brush for the drinking hose, which seems useful to me. The water opening is also large enough that you can also reach in with your hand to clean it from the inside. Yea. What am I supposed to say? It's worth the money. This is such an accessory, you buy it correctly once and then you have it for a long time

Very good quality

Very nice indeed! The perfect day walker for very warm mountain tours or anywhere else. Beautifully crafted, sturdy Cordura material, high-quality ITW Nexus hardware and a really stylish appearance in Coyote. To round things off: Made in the USA and not in any Asian slave factory. But one thing didn't work so well: When I fill the water bag with three liters, it creates a thick water sausage and this turns against the two outer pockets, which in turn reduces the volume of the water bag. Not really a problem with soft and flexible things, but with hard and stiff objects, you have a small problem... they don't fit in there anymore. Nevertheless, anyone looking for a small, lightweight and elegant companion for day trips will find what they are looking for here!
