Summer in Lapland is an unforgettable experience for cyclists. The whisper of the fell wind, golden light of the midnight sun, and inviting trails create the perfect setting for summer adventures. To enjoy the journey fully – and stay energized even during long days – proper hydration is absolutely essential.

Camelbak products are designed for active outdoor lovers who value practicality and comfort. These hydration systems make summer cycling smoother, without having to compromise on water intake. Here, we introduce two options tailored to different riding styles and needs.

Carrying Capacity for Long Rides and Stable Performance

When you’re heading out for a full day in the saddle – such as the 55–70 km Ylläs–Levi MTB route – you need enough water and room for your gear. The Camelbak M.U.L.E. Frame Pack is built for exactly this. It mounts securely to your bike frame, keeping the weight low and your back free to breathe and move.

Key benefits:

• The 2-liter Quick Stow reservoir holds enough water for hours of riding.

• Ample storage space for snacks, tools, and spare clothing.

• No sweaty backpack – your upper body moves freely.

• Also ideal for other activities: day hikes, bikepacking, fishing trips, and more.

The 2-liter hydration reservoir ensures you have enough water with you, with no worries about running dry mid-adventure. The reservoir is easy to fill and clean. Thanks to its smart nozzle design, it also doubles as a pour spout – making it simple to transfer water into a cooking pot or bottle. A great feature when using a camp stove or preparing meals at a scenic campfire.

The frame pack fits snugly and stays securely in place, even in demanding terrain. Mounted directly to the bike’s frame, the pack keeps the center of gravity low and stable. This enhances your control and balance – especially on climbs, descents, or technical terrain. Unlike traditional backpacks, it won’t trap heat against your back or shift around while riding.

The pack also offers plenty of organized storage for your must-haves: spare tubes, energy bars, tools and more. It stays put even on rough trails. Thanks to its versatility, the Camelbak M.U.L.E. Frame Pack is an excellent choice for long-distance cycling. It’s also a practical companion for many other outdoor activities in Lapland, such as reaching the best fishing spots or berry-picking areas.

Best suited for: An ideal choice for long rides or bikepacking when you need high fluid capacity and space for gear. Perfect for events like Ylläs–Levi MTB or full-day excursions in Lapland’s backcountry.

For who: Gravel, mountain, and touring cyclists – long-distance riders.

Agility and Freedom for Technical Riding

If your cycling style is fast, flowy and technical – like Levi Midnight Enduro – it’s smart to choose gear that won’t hold you back. The Camelbak M.U.L.E. 5 Waist Pack sits discreetly on your lower back and provides just the right amount of hydration for intense efforts.

Key benefits:

• The 1.5-liter Crux Lumbar reservoir keeps the weight low and centered.

• Drink tube is always within reach – hydration without stopping.

• Waist-pack design keeps your back ventilated and shoulders pressure-free.

• Also great for hiking, running, or everyday summer outings.

Placed ergonomically at your lumbar spine, the 1.5-liter reservoir enhances agility and balance – especially when navigating switchbacks, downhill sections or technical trails. On hot summer days, the open-back design helps you stay cool and comfortable.

The drink tube is easy to reach one-handed, and the 1.5-liter volume is more than enough for most 1–3 hour rides. Despite its compact size, the waist pack includes handy pockets for snacks, phone, and essentials – all accessible on the go.

Thanks to its lightweight design, the Waist Pack is also incredibly versatile off the bike. Take it on short hikes to Levi’s peaks, light trail runs, or even a picnic with the family. Anywhere you need hydration and a few small items – without the bulk.

Best suited for: Designed for active and technical riding like Levi Midnight Enduro. Its low profile, comfort and airflow also make it ideal for shorter rides and everyday outdoor activities.

For who: Enduro riders, casual cyclists, day hikers, and outdoor enthusiasts.

Whether you’re tackling fell trails, exploring forest paths or simply soaking in the scenery, having a reliable hydration solution lets you focus on what matters most: movement, breathtaking views, and summer adventures in Levi.
