I am a first time runner - running my first half-marathon in November. Where on earth do I find water packs small enough to fit in the loops?

Good one! You won't find any water bottles to fit the belt but you can fit packets of Gatorade in the loops. I tried and it worked. So one car key one s3 with case will fit. The phone is a tight fit.

amazon sells a fuel belt wedge clip bottle that has a hook that slides on the belt great. doesn't really go in the loops though. I think the loops are for the gel packs.

The loops are for gel packs. I haven't been able to figure out a way to carry water bottles.

It's not designed for water. It's designed for gel pack like GU. There should be enough water stations that carrying water won't be necessary. For training purposes you may want to find another method for carrying water.

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.

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.

Pick the correct size of ends from all the sizes they provide and they will stay put. I use them for running outside and treadmill while training for my half and full marathons. The only time they moved was when I accidentally hit the cord while wiping sweat from my face.

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!

It fits in the side mesh of a fanny pack. It won't leak, even upside down unless the bottle is squeezed. If you put it in a backpack just make sure it's upright and secure.

I purchased a small bladder (tall 60oz) and placed it in the section that holds the rain cover. It did add a bit of bulk, however, it was worth it to stay hydrated.

I would say yes, the size is a bit much for a quick run and go but it will hold everything you need.

You could put a water bottle in the top section between the two side handles. Or hang it on the side using a strap or cord (there are small loops to attach things to). But there are no external pouches big enough to hold a water bottle, only a couple filter pockets. And if you put the bottle inside, you might have to take the bag off to get to it.

No, the loops are just large enough to hold energy gells. There are some other companies that make hydration belts that may work for you.

Love this versatile pack. Two stretch mesh side pockets that hold up to a 1 liter bottle or a mens large shoe (from experience). Kimberley is also right,there is a dedicated space for a camelbak water bladder in the back of the pack.

Yep! One on each side. Though when I was hiking I kept my (bigger) water bottle inside the pack. Smaller bottles would probably be best kept there. Great hiking backpack!

Yes a small one I keep a single pack of these in there.--http://www.amazon.com/UCO-Windproof-Waterproof-Survival-Strikers/dp/B0077E34DC/ref=sr_1_31?ie=UTF8&qid;=1427213587&s;r=8-31&keywords;=water+proof+matches

I had to google "Ogio Pack"...I have no experience with that brand of hydration systems. They sure look similar. Perhaps someone else can help you.

There are two pockets about 5 inches deep that can hold up to two basic water bottles (store-bought: Aquafina, Dasani, etc). They are located on either side of the criss-crossed straps, but are open w/out zippers. Unless you're angled on a very steep incline or are running, they should be relatively safe from falling out. I can't attest to the 75L, haven't really measured the volume of the items I pack into it.
