Where does the hydration bladder fit into this backpack?

There is a side pocket zipper along the full lenth of the pack, inside is a hanger loop near the top so you can mount camelbak bladders, and near the bottom is velcro so you can put their holster inside. It is not connected to the main access. I use a 3L camelbak bladder in mine.

There's a zip pocket just behind the back panel and those little islands of breather material. I've fit a Platypus and an Osprey 100oz in there, but it really doesn't like it. 70oz is better. 50oz is best. It's a fairly small pocket.

As far as I can see bladder fits in the conceal weapon compartment of the bag. I have two bladders but have yet to try to set them up on my Gear Slinger.

There is a zipper at the back that can be used for numerous things, including a bladder. There is a thick nylon strap inside that you can hang the bladder from. There is no dedicated opening to run the hose though, but there is a fastening system from the top of the zipper that run along the strap as well.

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?

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!

Not big at all. It fits a small wallet and some knick-knacks. The opening is about 15cm. I tend not to fill the water bladder the whole way and stuff other items into the back next to bladder. If you are looking for a similar bag with more storage, check out the Camelbak Octane 22LR. I find that better for trail runs in changeable weather when I want to pack a jacket, extra layers, and food. I own both the XCT and the 22LR, and use them both. There is an 18LR model that is in between those two in terms of storage space, but I don't own that one. Worth checking out.

Yea if the bigger bladder is not any longer and only wider. The bladder in this pack is just housed in an insulated pocket with an anchor With a little extra room left for an ICR pack or a sand which or even a bigger bladder, length permit

That's how it looks. It's a big bag. I actually put three bladders in it so that my daughters and I can each have our own water. Each uses a separate opening designed for that purpose. Even with so much water on board there is still a lot of room. I like it very much.

Yes and No. The Molle II Hydration Carrier that's "part of the set" you can buy seperately doesn't really fit as it's a little longer, but other aftermarket sets probably would or you could make it fit. Additionally Condor makes a Nalgene Molle attachable water bottle pocket that fits very nicely on either or both sides of the pack. The "part of the set" surplus carrier does not mate up well with the molle webbing on the pack. The bottom accessory attachment buckles and a couple of Grimlocs may work for an attachment system.

Yes it is. You can completely remove the bladder and tube from the backpack.

There is a specific bag by camelbak called the M.U.L.E. it is a reservoir hydration bag. Its skinnier, but longer from top to bottom. The one I got fits over a regular school backpack that one would not in my opinion. I have the M.U.L.E. actually and it is quite smaller than a backpack.

I will have to check the exact dimensions and get back to you on 7/15. But the bladder itself is extremely similar to the camelbak hydration packs. Which is one reason I purchased it; this is half the price of just a bladder for the camelbak.

i guess more of the curved. the hydration pack is curved and that sits closets to your back, but there is some curve to the rest of it. This bag wasn't exactly designed for laptops. check out the momentum or the radial or the spin series. they will get you closer to what you're looking for if laptops are important. I should say that it's certainly possible to put one in there if you need to, remember there's not much of a bottom and no padding for one.

Yes. The bladder is completely removable and the pack can be used as a small day pack. Even with the bladder inside, there is still a small bit of zippered storage space. Plenty of room for a snack, small camera, etc.

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.

If I am not mistaken, this backpack is also designed to accommodate a water pack that is specific to the daypack that you can purchase separately. It has a pocket in the back that it will slide into. I do not have it but have seen it on other packs. you may want to check into it.

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.

It most likely will fit. I don't own any osprey backpacks so I don't know how large their hydration pockets are. In addition osprey also makes their own hydration bladders and sometimes has specific pockets for their systems. I can however fit the 2-liter source bladder comfortably into my 22 liter Gregory backpack.

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