Who needs a camelbak? Mule for $45

[LBmtb]

Jenson has the MULE for $45 right now . . . clicky.

Can the helmet compartment accomadate a full face?

[LBmtb]

You won't be able to stick a helmet in the compartment but might be able to find a way to attach it to the outside. The older model MULE's were easier to attach things like pads and helmets because they had bungees.

Bump

They have this same $45 Mule deal again. Link is still the same.

I also saw that the "other" so. cal mail order place has the Camelbak® H.A.W.G. for $55.00.

HAWG is a great backpack. I love mine. Lots of room if you need it or it collapses down easily. Highly recommended.

check out the dakine nomad, i just picked one up to replace my old mule. i ended up having to use the camelbak water bladder since the dakine one leaked right away

it has straps for leg armor, a strap system for a full face and a ton of storage space. performance has them on sale right now

So, to sum up your review... good backpack, bad water carrier. Let me run right out and pick one up! FWIW, the HAWG has straps on the side to put leg armor. It won't hold a full-face helmet, though. Seems to me if you're riding far enough that you don't want to wear the helmet then you should probably get a lighter helmet and ride more carefully. Or, maybe I should just f**k off.

I have the Hyper 3.0 and I love it. You can get into the pockets without taking it off, has tons of room, bungie cord and it's really comfortable.

i have nomad as well and like it. A bit heavier than the CB blowfish (a few years old) i was using before but appears more durable and has straps and pocket for helmet and armor. took a few rides to break in the back padding but once "flexes" up it's all good

I love the Nomad, no leaks so far and tons of space. Perfect pack for the shuttle rides. Only complaint is the lack of small pockets inside. Picked mine up at the STR swapmeet for only $15.

$15? damn thats cheap... now i feel ripped off for paying $50
