Camelbak M.U.L.E
Since its inception in 1996, the M.U.L.E has been an iconic hydration pack for the Californian brand. Designed for "medium to ultra-long endeavours", the M.U.L.E is a 12L capacity hydration backpack with all-new smart storage and an overflow pocket for stashing away extra layers. There's a removable stability belt for preference and comfort, and we see the introduction of a Magnetic Tube Trap™ which is compatible with Camelbak reservoir tubes. An Air Support™ Back Panel provides an ergonomic fit to keep things cool in the back while enabling air to circulate. The classic M.U.L.E is available in four colourways and retails for £120
Camelbak M.U.L.E EVO 12
The Evo 12 is a new addition to the M.U.L.E range, but what makes it really stand out is its weatherproof construction. By using stormproof materials in the construction of the backpack, your contents will remain dry and protected throughout your ride. Other than this, the shape, construction and features remain the same as the standard M.U.L.E pack. Only available in black, the M.U.L.E Evo 12 retails for £140.
Camelbak Podium Flow 4 Belt
There's no better way to be minimally prepared than by ditching the backpack and opting for a waist pack. The Podium Flow 4 Belt can carry a drinks bottle and all your bare essentials within the pockets of its 4L capacity - it even comes equipped with a Podium Dirt Series 620ml bottle.
Air Support™ back panels use Body Mapping Technology to keep you cool, and the adjustable waistband ensures comfort and security. Using recycled materials, safer chemicals and diminished disposables, the Podium Flow 4 has received an impressive Repurpose Gold Sustainability Badge. Available in several colourways, this belt retails for £55.
