A review of hydration packs wouldn’t be complete without CamelBak, the company that created the category. And they clearly know that little things can often make the biggest difference. Well, a small feature of this "Best Of" pick is actually a big thing. A cool thing. The CamelBak M.U.L.E. Hydration Pack includes a water-resistant pouch to hold your iPod. So you can tackle the hill while you listen to Queen's 'We Are The Champions" or, if you're not feeling as strong, perhaps Jackson Browne's "Running on Empty." Of course, music alone won’t hydrate you, but the CamelBak M.U.L.E. delivers here, too, with a three-liter reservoir. And CamelBak is so confident in the durability of the M.U.L.E. that they guarantee it against punctures for life. A secure cargo pocket includes an internal organizer for your gear, and a Bungee Cinch System holds an extra sweatshirt or your rain gear. Put on the CamelBak, load your favorite playlist and get ready to free ride!

From independent research, we selected the CamelBak MULE Hydration Pack as a 3LUXE "Best Of". To see our other two Hydration Pack selections visit our Hydration Pack Overview.
