How do you think this would work with a water bladder (for hydration while hiking) instead of a laptop in the laptop compartment?

That's a question that I've spend some time wondering about my self. What I've concluded is that since it comes with a rain cover the fabric isn't goingto keep condesation on the bladder from mygrating to your camera supplies. If your bladder has a water proof cover or you make one it shouldn't be a problem.

Hi R. REINHARD, this Sony LCSBP3 approximate dimensions are: 13 x 19 x 9 7/8in (330 x 480 x 150 mm) (WxHxD). And since this backpack is not intended for hiking, it is not recommended to use it with a water bladder. -Ely

I haven't tried it but I suspect that the water would be forced out of the bladder. The laptop compartment is next to your back so the entire weight of the backpack would be on it. I would also be concerned about having the bladder next to the electronics in case of leaks. Water and electronics are not friends....

Its compact, sure you could cinch it down. The bladder is a little tough to suck out water.

It just needs to fit. Get the dimensions of the bladder and the pack. Make sure you allow for the thickness of the bladder when full and the larger hose of this bladder. Seems like most water packs have a hook on the top to hang the bag from. Seems pretty universal to me.

Don't own that specific bag, but I've used this in a pretty small ~15L pack for snowboarding, with no problems. This bladder has a loop up top that helps it stay in place, provided your pack has a clip above the hydration compartment. The hose is nice and long too so my guess is it'll work just fine. Hope that helps!

I bought a hydration bladder from walmart and it works fine(2L). Condor has one but i haven't tried it.

I tried it before but I imagine you'd like to have some visual proof of this. Yes, it is possible (if you don't mind wrinkling your clothes a bit). http://imgur.com/CRCw3Di (1.5 L water bladder + jeans + shirt + track jacket + rain coat) http://i.imgur.com/f4smFV9 (All in the bag! You have to roll up your jacket and put it in the sleeping bag pocket.) http://imgur.com/Vv73KLU (While on my back)

There is a interior pocket in the large storage pocket that could hold a hydration bladder, but no strap to hold it upright, no hole for the tube, and there is no rigid support to the bag to hold it up in its own. It is made of lightweight nylon and designed to be a packable travel bag.

Well as long as you dont take it swimming with you, it can take heavy rain or a full glass of water or any other liguid spilling on it. Both these thing have happened to me. Nothing gets inside cuz ur laptop is safe being a double protected seam. Have a look at some of the you tube videos about this product. Shud throw some more light on it.

Yes, best if your laptop is in a padded sleave. There is no padding in the pack, fit could be tight though.

It's not meant to be stored outside a bag. I don't think any bladder is, because that's what a Nalgene with a clip can do without tearing. If your pack doesn't have a hydration compartment, then you will have to make room for it in other compartments. Use common sense, buddy.

I would keep something as delicate as a laptop in my rucksack on my back... It would technically it would fit it you have the kind with the saddlebags that open up on the sides, but I don't think you would want your laptop jostling around like that.

I treat mine like a small laptop and keep it in my briefcase or backpack. I'm sure there are third party tablet sleeves or carrying pouches with a hand sling out there.

I use a big water bottle, so usually carry it inside my bag. Seems like if using a standard size, it would fit okay. Sorry that I couldn't be more help!

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.

If in doubt, wrap the bladder in a contractor-grade waterproof bag. This should control condensation and will give you an additional barrier between the bladder and laptop.

Hi Michelle, I just slide my 3 liter water bladder into the pouch along the inside back wall. The opening for the water tube is at the top of the back wall. I don't use the Velcro strip because all my gear seems to hold the bladder in place. When I pack this backpack, I put the water bladder in first then I load the pack. I hope this helps?

I have not used the water bladder. There are 2 side mesh pockets that a bottle of water fits perfect in.
