Will this pack carry a camelbak brand bladder, as opposed to the osprey-branded one?

I don´t know exactly, but it´s a big compartment. I think it can carry almost any camelbak. Why don´t you look for a store that has one of this packs and try it?

No, it's too skinny for a camelback style pack. It would be best to get surgical tubing, you can buy it at a medical supply store.

I am not sure but I suspect that it will "not." It fits my Camelbak very snugly and is designed for it. I think the Camelbak is slightly smaller but I am not sure of the comparable dimensions. Returns are easy. You can try it or perhaps take your canteen to a sporting goods store and try it there.

This is meant for packs with a hydration pocket. You could probably just set it inside a regular pack and run the tube out through a zipper. A proper hydration pocket will support the bladder, and will have an opening in the pack to route the tubing.

Personally, I wouldn't recommend it. The Osprey has an airscape design for the back which gives the pack a kinda seemeless fit with the spine, bending, or folding it might damage it.

We have an outdoor bladder & another brand. It fits both of them. It should fit the high sierra

Bladder is not included. Although, if you want an expectional pack at this price them I would highly recommend it. The only downfall I have found is if you have broad shoulders then it will be a little snug on you. Besides that, I am very happy with this purchase!

I really like the Osprey Reservoir and it has heald up well in multiple backpacking situations for me. I have the 2.5 L for my 45L Osprey pack and that is the most that I think I could fit in that pack. I would say try either the 2 L for your 22 L pack if you want the biggest that might fit or the 1.5 L likely would for sure fit. If to big, you should be able to return or just not fill it completely full likely would work too.

I used the Osprey 2L bladder and it worked great. Based on the size of the pouch, it looks like it could easily hold the 3L bladder as well.

Yes, in fact I swapped out a valved bite valve from another CamelBak brand hydration pack and swap them back and forth with no problem. BTW, the two liter reservoir is pretty easy to fill, clean and dry. The only (minor) hassle is cleaning the tube which is the same no matter which system you get.

I have used a 3.0L osprey without issue. It fit nicely on its side inside the bags inner hydration pouch. The bag is huge and could probably held more without issue.

I have 5 packs and this bladder fits them all. It's almost the same length as the two liter, but wider. The insulated hose is "Fat", so it's kind of hard to fish through some shoulder straps, but I don't thing you will have an issue. Have a Great Day Erika :)

I would choose based on what you are using the pack for, and the length of time of your trip. Remember just because you have a large bladder does not mean you have to fill it all the way. I would rather fill 1/2 way, with having the option to fill all the way if needed.

it depends if your pack has an internal hydration pocket or not. if it does there will be a hidden opening to allow the hose to pass through and down one of the straps so you can drink from it.

I do not use, and am not personally familiar with, the ILBE Gen 2 Main Pack, but several of the answers to the same question you are asking about this item in its Amazon.com listing says it is compatible with hydration bladders. One even includes the web address for a video on this topic. I would suggest you read through the information about the ILBE Gen 2 Main Pack on Amazon.com. and hope this referral is helpful to you. I use the Condor 3-Day Assault Pack, which can accommodate two (2) Camelbak 100 oz/ 3.0 L hydration bladders. I stopped carrying two hydration bladders in it to reduce the weight of the fully loaded pack, and use the "extra" space in the hydration section to hold one Camelbak 100 oz/ 3.0 L hydration bladder, its cleaning kit, extra in-line charcoal filter cartridges for my Camelbak in-line filter (to remove "funky flavors" from the water), a Sawyer Products Mini-Filter and accessories (to filter out microscopic "critters" in water from "unknown natural" sources when refilling the hydration bladder), a back-up drinking tube (in case my primary drinking tube gets cut or damaged), a LifeStraw personal water filter, and a military personal reverse osmosis water filtration system. All This extra gear weighs a lot less than an additional 3.0 L of water and hydration bladder, and it gives me the ability to safely drink pretty much any water I encounter and safely refill my hydration bladder over and over. As the old philosopher once said, "Show a man how to carry an extra 3.0 liters of water, and you'll get him through the next day. Show him how to make any water he finds safe to drink, and he will have water for the rest of his life". . . . or maybe he was talking about fishing.

Not sure of the actual size, but I can easily fit my Camelbak Mil Spec short 3 Liter bladder in there.
