M.U.L.E. 5 Hydration Waist Pack with 50oz Lumbar Reservoir, Stable Carry and Smart Storage for Mountain Bike and Gravel Riding, Dusty Olive 2.0

This is the right size for me for 3ish hour sessions. The H2O bladder is a nice size and easy to access. I can fit a few tools and snacks inside the pack, with a few treats in the bottle pouches on the outside, all of which allows me to keep the bike frame clear for single track trails and features riding.The pack is comfortable to wear and, in my experience, much nicer than wearing a backpack (including my camelbak lobo).

This is great for single speed riding. The way care as well. It’s a little bit annoying trying to get the bottles back into the pouches, but they do stay in securely. I use Camelback podium bottles, and do not use the bladder. Instead, I keep all of my trail, repair tools and an extra tube. I loaded up pretty heavy and it’s still wears pretty nicely. these are my favorite way to carry water, less sweaty than a Camelback, and you have the ability to store a good amount of tools with a pretty minimal sleek design

This waist pack is pretty good. Fits well and the hydration bladder is a big plus. However, the water bottle pockets are basically useless. I have to remove the pack in order to insert a standard plastic water bottle into the pockets. The pockets are simply too small and flimsy to hold a standard bike water bottle. The water bottle pockets were my main reason for purchasing this pack. I need pockets that I can easily insert and remove a bike water bottle and this ain’t it. So I will be sending it back.

Appears to be made with quality materials, so it should last. The only thing I don't understand is why would they put a zipper on one of the hip pockets and not the other hip pocket. There is no way to keep anything you place in the pocket from falling out. This makes the pocket useless.

The side pockets are way too small

Very well made with ykk zippers. I like the green color. The water bottle holders hold the bottles firmly with good access. I pulled the hydration bag out to give more space for snacks and stuff that's needed along the trail. I use this for doing short 3 to 5 mile hikes with my dog. I don't use it for mountain bike riding but it would work good for that too. The hydration bag when filled takes up a lot of the real-estate in the bag, so that's why I took it out for snacks, sun block, collapsible water bowl for my dog, etc... Nothing to complain about!

Great quality 😁

I was skeptical about chafing, but if you wear a shirt, you won’t experience anything. Haven’t tried without a shirt yet, but I did do 100 mile ride and I didn’t have any chasing and I didn’t really feel it on my lower back too much either. This will be a standard in my set up.

Nice light bag and comfortable to wear
