I was typing my review about CamelBak Scudo when a user posts in my MTB forum a link from a free portuguese mountain biking magazine. I click on it and then I saw the most recent pdf. You may click on it that will enlarge.
It stated the most barbaric thing: "This M.U.L.E.™ Lightweight is 20% lighter than regular M.U.L.E.™, it weights an impressive 460g!"
Most of you will say -"Jorgex, why are you so shocked?"-. I'll tell you why!
These are weights I've been measuring and browsing:
- Scudo™ LE '09 - 555g w/o bladder
- BlowFish™ '02 - 594 w/o bladder
- BlowFish™ '09 - >800 w/ bladder
- Octane™ 20+ LE '09- >700g w/ bladder
Weight comparison:
Hydration: 3.0L Omega Hydrotanium reservoir with lifetime warranty
- Standard 2009 Mule inc. Reservoir: 840g
- Mule Lightweight inc. Reservoir: 720g = 14% lighter
- Mule Lightweight inc. Reservoir minus internal back panel: 665g = 21% lighter
- Mule Lightweight minus Reservoir and internal back panel: 460g = 45% lighter!!
Cargo: 10.0L

Uau! For half an hour I thought that Scudo™ LE '09 was a terrible buy for 41€ @ CRC (it was a promotion at the time).
The CamelBak Limited Edition 2009 so far: Scudo™, Octane™ 20+, M.U.L.E.™ Lightweight
How hard can it be? How hard is to find LE 2009 info?
That's a Nokian DH Tube, Leatherman, Pedro's tyre levers, Crank Bros M5and old Ritchey C.P.R. 9 from '99 or '00.
