Requesting feedback and comparisons: CamelBak M.U.L.E. Pro hydration pack for extended travel
Seeking technical insights from users familiar with the CamelBak M.U.L.E. Pro hydration pack, particularly in the context of extended, budget-conscious travel.
Primary interests include:
- Durability and performance of the reservoir and hose system over multi-week use
- Real-world carrying capacity and organizational effectiveness for gear beyond typical day-hiking scenarios
- Pack weight and ergonomic comfort when fully loaded (including water)
- Accessory compatibility and field repairability in remote settings
- Value for cost relative to other hydration packs suitable for budget travelers
Would appreciate comparative feedback versus similarly priced alternatives (Osprey, Deuter, generic brands) given repair/replace constraints when abroad. Further, any recommendations for modifications or maintenance practices that enhance utility for long-duration, resource-limited trips are welcome.
