Reviews over the
Camelbak M.U.L.E. 5
4 / 5
Useful for cycling and/or hiking trips
Hip bag is comfortable and does not hinder. It is just a pity that normal drink cans do not fit in those side pockets. I also wanted to use this waist bag for hiking and then save space for an extra jacket by leaving out the water reservoir and then taking drinks in a drinking canister. A 500ml bottle of spa fits right in. The handle on top is also handy if you just want to carry it in your hand for a while. Under the elastic band on top you can also put a raincoat, which you can pull out from under it if necessary.
Pros & Cons
3 / 5
Better than the EVOC3, but not yet perfect.
For a smaller camelbak variant, though, this is a good size. And while it does work, you tear off the magnet far too quickly and find yourself searching in the woods. The bladder opening is far too big for this small pouch, a deadly waste of wasted space. Samsung S20+ just barely fits. Larger phones will not fit, a pity. Otherwise a good replacement for the Camelbak backpack.
