Its not designed for it but you could wire the hose up and out the top of the main storage compartment.

The hydration bladder and the pack itself is not insulated, so it is like having a water bottle inside a normal backpack. The bladder is in the main compartment which is up against your back.There is a little padding in between, but not that much. Water inside the hose in particular will get warm pretty much right away in sunny weather. Water inside the pack will generally stay cooler.

It does have a pocket for the bladder as well as a center hook to hang the bladder and an opening for the tube

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

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.

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.

The bag can easily be hung, but unlike traditional gravity bags the tube would still output facing up (not really a problem, just wouldn't get all the water out via gravity). What I am not sure about is the connection of the sawyer filter. The Source bladders do have a great method for snapping the drinking tube in and out of the bladder, so I would buy an extra tube and rig the sawyer filter however I could to it. Then you would have interchangeable tubes for either drinking or a camp supply. Good luck.

I replaced the 2L that came with it with this one when I need over 2L, but otherwise I use the factor bladder: Platypus Big Zip SL 3-Liter Hands-Free Hydration SystemWith 3L in it, it is a tight fit and the bladder is taller than the one that came with it, but I thought it worked ok. That said, I don't normally carry 3L and if I did all the time, I'd probably want a bigger pack. The other option would be to throw a couple bottles of water in the side webbing pockets. With the other stuff I normally carry, 3L makes the pack pretty tight when it's full of water, but obviously as you drink it down, it gets looser. I can say I really like the pack overall, it's great quality.

No this is just a bladder. There is a small flat hook that hooks inside the carrier if you wrap some canvas around it then you could use a carabiner.

Yeah, there is a place for hydration bladders, but depending on the bladder it might be hanging out a bit at the top. I've got a 1 liter that hangs out. I think there is one made specifically for this bag, but it's got issues with leaking, supposedly. I hope that helps.

There is a hock at the top abov the round fill. It is for hooking the bag to the little elastic strap in the top of your camelbak which keeps it from clasping on itself in your backpack. Yes

IT comes with the holder and can be screwed down under the water bottle cage, it also has a velcro strap that secures it once it is snapped into the holder. I actually bought two and no issues at all.

Hi Michelle, if you check their website http://www.vanguardworld.com/index.php/en/pv/products/photo-video/detail-1-1-229-726.html towards the bottom of the page is a section called "Other Features". This shows the various hanging loops and belts for carrying additional gear. If your water bottle has a carrying loop or provision for a carabiner, you'll have no problems.

Mine did not come with a bladder, but a 50 oz. Camelbak bladder (got mine at MIL Clothing Sales), fit perfectly. I use mine on my Crye Belt and it does not get in the way while sitting in a vehicle or while moving. Good luck. Again - no bladder came with mine

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.

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.

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!
