How compatable is this bladder with the ilbe gen ii or is there a large bladder, (100 oz/3.0l) that would be better suited

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.

Yes I think so, I have a small Gregory Day pack & a 2Day Northface, bladder with insulator is a good fit.

It should fit in my estimation. With the bladder full it will be snug. Probably about 3 quarters of an inch on each side of extra space. The length should be plenty big enough. Almost like it was made for something that size in the largest pocket. I would go for it

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.

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.

Just about any bladder will work. There is an opening in the pack to allow a drinking tube to be accessed without removing the pack. It does not come with a bladder.

Source Tactical WXP 3-Liter Hydration Reservoir System with Storm Valve, Coyote This is the one I use and it fits great. I believe its one of the best hydration bladders on the market.

Did not see anything on the Geigerrig website, but found a review on another site that said you can use a 2L or 3L bladder. The review was for the Geigerrig Tactical 1600, though. Not sure if that makes a difference.

I have the Kestrel 48 liter pack & it fits fine in that. Not sure what your goal is with a 38 liter version. If it's fast & light I assume this would fit but can't be sure. If you're planning on packing a decent amount in your pack you may just want a smaller water bladder.

No- however, we've tried it with both a 60 and 120oz bladder and both worked fine. The compartment is isolated and it has the proper accommodations for the water tube.

It will hold a 100 oz bladder. I had one in my one but found adding another 8 lbs to my pack was overkill for me as my EDC.

It will not fit in the Voodoo Tactical Level III Assault Pack 72 Hour Bail Out Bag. The width is fine, but it hangs out of the top. Not sure if I want a new bladder or a new backpack. I hear it fits in the Maxpedition FALCON-II™ BACKPACK.

There are 2 condor hydro packs on amazon you have to make sure you order the one with better reviews that's the one I got and works good. I don't like the Velcro hangers for the pack for a 3L bladder but they workish.

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.

I'm sure there are many packs that are designed for this bladder specifically. I use it in a pocket on my pack that I just stuff it in, and it works great. I have found it to be the best bladder on the market.

The tube clip fits very snug and actually pinches the tube slightly - the inner diameter of the clip is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the tube. I have used this on Camelbak and Source bladders and although the fit is not perfect, it works well.

I just tried a JetBoil brand 3.5 ounce/100 gram fuel canister and it did fit. There was plenty of space to put my Primus Micron Ti 2.5 stove in along with it.
