Does the hydration pack come with it?

No. I personally wouldn't recommend carrying a hydration bladder at all. With a full bladder in the sleeve of this backpack the comfort of the suspension and effectiveness of the back ventilation mesh are diminished. Unless absolutely necessary, carrying water adds a ton of weight. I suggest carrying a water filter (Sawyer Squeeze is my recommendation) and stopping at available water sources.

There is only one pocket in this hydration pack. The pocket holds the water within the holding unit. The pack measures 20.5" long X 8" wide.

No it does not come with a nice pack insert and yes you should be able to use a soda bottle .

Yes, it does come with ice packs. It works best with cold water and the ice packs in a combination. Keeps the room cool throughout the summer night.

The hydration pack is integrated into the vest's back. You could remove it if you had an alternate back or alternate straps to attach to the vest, but it would take some work.

It doesn't have a hydration system attached. Whoever made the description didn't describe it well. What they mean is that you can attach a hydration system because there are MOLLE straps on the back. The VISM vests that already have a hydration system built onto the vest is there AR Chest Rigs and their MOLLE Vests. They do not make children's sizes on those vests, unfortunately. Lancer Tactical has a hydration backpack system which you can wear on top of this vest. That is your other option.

The one I ordered several years ago did not come with that item. I am not certain if they supply them with current packs.

No, the one we ordered did not have it. We ordered the backpack seperately.

Yes. The package comes with 3 bottles. Use one for now, another in a month or so, etc.

No... Theirs a pouch on the back side where you could possibly put a after market one on.. But it is not included or have a part on the strap to secure the bladder tube... But the pack is about the size for a child or a adult if u want a tight fitting small pack

No. But it has a place to put a bladder inside the bag. It also has a slot on the right shoulder indicated by a water droplet for the hose of your bladder to go through. Essentially if you have or buy a bladder you will have a backpack with a camelpak built into it. If I made any sense lol.

There is definitely room for a hydration system. You'll have to make it work though since there isn't a specific spot intended for one. I have one from an old pack, placed it in the top compartment, ran the tube out the top and it works great. Buy the pack, it's awesome!

No fixed pocket to hold a water bottle. The sides of thr pack are molle, so you can attach a separate holder. However, it does have a spot to put your hydration pack in.

Nope but it is nice and large. I don't need to drink two a day to get my water amount but I do and it's just great. Plenty of room for stickers too!

Yes! there is an adjustable "pouch" on the back of the pack that could easily hold a hydration bladder. Also, depending if the optional assault pack is attached, I have seen bladders mounted at the top between the lid and main pack via adjustable straps on the main pack which helps with weight distribution.

It comes with the cold packs, they are water filled. It works okay, but wish they had one with gel packs instead. Keep it in the freezer. It does what was intended.
