How big are the water bottle pockets? Can I store a nalgene size bottle in them or am I limited to a 20oz pop-bottle sized drink?

I was "able" to fit a 32oz nalgene in it. Its a tight fit, and since the pocket is narrower at the bottom, the bottle wouldn't enter the pocket fully. I'm sure with a bit more use it loosen up. But off the bat, it wasn't a perfect fit and snug, and found a 20oz bottle would fit nicely inside, and still be able to pull the strap to make it extremely snug, that bottle would not go anywhere. I carry a water bottle on me every day, and used to use a 32oz nalgene, but switched to two smaller nalgenes because I found it more balanced and a better fit. (a full 32oz nalgene will put the bag off balance).Short answer: yes it will fit a 32oz nalgene, not perfectly at first though I was "able" to fit a 32oz nalgene in it.

Hi! They will fit a 16.9 oz water bottle. Which is the size of the bottles by Poland Spring water sold in cases at cvs etc you can lay it down, fits perfectly. They also stand up and still half an inch left on top. However, do not overload the bags they are rather thin. I like them to bring cookies, chocolate to my friends. Inexpensive and no more searching for little brown bags. Good luck

There are two zipper pockets inside. The bottom one can fit a Nalgene bottle but it's a tight squeeze.

well, i have the 32oz gatorade bottle and that fits fine, just alittle tall so sometime it slips out. I dont think the bag will fit those wide Nalgene bottles though.

I just pulled the specs. on the 32 oz Nalgene bottle it the web says it's Volume: 32 oz (.95L) Size: 8.5" H (with cap) x 3.75" D. I just put a 3.75 inch wide cup in the beverage holder and it fits just fine. You'll have a little room to play with as well. BTW! This back pack has been great. I carry a 15 inch laptop with a lot of folder files, power cords, portable hard drives, etc. and it has held up well. I looked at all of the Swiss Gear Scan Smart models that were priced much higher and decided to but this one on Amazon for $42.99. Very happy with my choice. Good luck!

I'm sorry Christy, I just read your answer and don't agree. Just one 20 oz bottle would stick out and I further believe that just one would be too heavy, forget about 5-6 like you suggest. Have you tried it out or guessing? I just tried it out with this 16,9 oz water bottle. Also the strings would tear thru due to weight.

I would say yes, absolutely. I can fit wide sippy cups in the pockets, no problem. The pocket size is very generous.

This sleeve fits a water bottle well (~16.9 oz), but sleeve is loose. I purchased another Nalgene bottle (Titan 24-ounce) for this sleeve and it didn't fit (bottle was too big). I would think that a 20 oz bottle would fit but may be tight until you use the sleeve more. If you look up the bottle in the picture here and see what oz. that is, it should help your decision to buy.The sleeve is great and keeps your drink cold or warm. It does smell a bit strange for a while right out of packaging, but consistent use should eliminate this. As rough as I am with the sleeve, the pattern is still attached and in great condition. I'm pleased with this sleeve and recommend it. This sleeve fits a water bottle well (~16.9 oz), but sleeve is loose.

Nope. If you have the one pictured you can fit a 20oz drink on it's side, but not a full size wine bottle.

I don't have bottles that large...mine are 20 oz. and it holds them fine. I will say that this pack, although light-weight, has trouble with the weight of the bottles on the sides unless packed full in the large pocket. It collapses easily if not filled. So it works if you have a couple jackets or other bulky items in the large pocket.

I have honestly never used the bottle pocket on mine. It's of sturdy mesh construction and about 6 1/2 inches deep and probably about 6 inches across when laid flat so it should hold a large bottle without a problem. I'm in the middle of moving so all my large metal water bottles are packed away in boxes. I had a 26oz canister of salt on hand that fit with room to spare and very little sagging on the bag. Hopefully this helps.

in the side pockets it can hold 1 - 34 oz bottle each side. I can fit 3 sets of uniforms in it plus a kindle fire in the big main pocket and more. Its a very nice size. I also keep my glock in it during transporting home and work.

I think it would be too big. This is taller than a 20 oz soda bottle. You can easily fit 6 of these bottles in it with room left over. I think you would need something smaller. Hope this helps

Yeah... with 3 or 4 more inches of space up top. I think they make a smaller version for the 32oz Nalgene bottles specifically.Heres a link to a photo I just took with a 32oz Nalgene bottle in this Water Bottle Pouch:http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f386/lordulthan/Amazon%20Questions%20Folder/IMG_8625.jpg

It depends on the size of the water bottles... but to give you a sense of scale/size, I regularly take my coffee to work in this bag, using a Swell medium-sized flask that measures ~10.5" long by 3" in diameter and holds 17 fluid oz/500ml (check it out at http://www.swellbottle.com/shop/water-bottles/glitter/). This bag would comfortably hold two of these flasks and a smallish hand towel.

The water bottle pockets are on the day pack and they're pretty shallow. The 32oz might fit width wise (maybe) but the bottle would surely continuously fall out (speaking from experience). If the water bottle has a loop on top from which you can attach a carabiner to secure to the bag then it might work otherwise I'd say no.
