Camelbak Mule

Looking for a good deal on a Camelbak Mule for my son's 11th birthday. Let me know if you've seen a good deal on them. Thanks.

That's an awesome price. Have you ever purchased from them before?

Go for the Camelbak Blowfish. Much more versatile pack and also uses a 100oz bladder. Plenty of deals on them, including this one for $40 at JensonUSA:

Personally, I wouldn't call $65 for a Mule a great deal. If you are patient, you'll do much better than that. Check www.qbike.com or www.bestbikebuys.com for the latest deals.

He looked at the blowfish, but like the Mule better. Best deal I've seen on Qbike or Spadout was about $72. I'll keep looking, but it must be a popular model this year.

How about an ebay store ($55 + $8 shipping)? Just a couple of bucks cheaper than the sunnysports deal.

Found that one through www.bing.com shopping (Microsoft's new search engine). Awhile back Cabela's had the Mule on sale for something like $40. They are $65 right now, however.

Good luck,

Just bought a 2008 Mule for $55 at Wheelworld.

I have a Blowfish from a few years ago and it's a great pack - very versatile for carrying bigger loads some times. But I like the redesigned Mule even better.

Yea I bought my Mule from them last year. It arrived the next day. I was very surprised and very happy.

i'm holding out for my rei dollars to come through and buy the hawg nv. no good advice here, sorry. just excited come december.

The new NV design is pretty awesome from what I hear. They are pricey though.

I bought the new MULE and didn't like it. I then tried the MULE NV on sale at REI and love it. It's pricey but is great for biking and running.

I am usually a good consumer but stupid me bought the old (orange) Mule from a LBS for $100.00. I wish I just waited and get the NV. To top it off my zipper broke and the LBS has been non-responsive and I contacted Camelbak who said they would ship a pull out to me and its been 11 days and nothing. I might be switching to a Ergon pack come next purchase and for the LBS I will not be buying from them anymore. Ashame there is like 5 bike stores within a mile of each other.
