what size of a bladder does the hydration pocket accomodate? 2L? 3L? If no one knows for sure, can I get an estimate of the dimensions of it?

Thank you for your question. The manufacturer site says: "The Wind River from Rokk is a large, 4500-cubic-inch capacity. Large main compartment with interior organizer; hydration pocket with integrated cooling liner. Pack measures 29.5 by 15.5 by 7.5 inches." Please let us know how we can help you further.

I have a wide mouth 3.0 liter Camelback hydration bladder. It has a thick plastic hook on the cap portion of the bladder which works nicely with the velcro tab in the pack's bladder compartment. This prevents the bladder from collapsing to the bottom of the compartment. I hope this helps.

It's should be the average 2.5L bladder I believe. But it is interchangeable as the sheath has 2 Velcro straps inside to hook the bladder to.

Did not see anything on the Geigerrig website, but found a review on another site that said you can use a 2L or 3L bladder. The review was for the Geigerrig Tactical 1600, though. Not sure if that makes a difference.

I think you'll be fine with this pack. It wasn't very big. As for space available, I used it to hike Pikes Peak in Colorado Springs. I filled the bladder and still had room for a spare bottle, extra gloves, and snacks for the day.

No, it doesn't come with a water bladder. It comes with a nice pouch which you can place a reservoir - I use the platypus brand and it will accommodate at least a 3L. I thought I was going to LOVE this bag, as I have a 44L which I LOVE for longer trips - but this one doesn't have any rigid frame to it - and I really miss that. But for quick summer overnight trips, I'd take this one out.

I purchased the CamelBak 90352 Omega Water Reservoir, 100 oz., Black Dimensions: 18.0 in x 7.37 in and paired it to the Maxpedition Falcon-II Backpack and it's a perfect fit. I also purchase the 50oz antidote bladder and paired it with the Explorer Tactical Assault Pack - Combat Rucksack - 17" Military MOLLE Backpack 27L, fits just fine and half the weight.

According to the manufacturer (that and more details at http://www.condoroutdoor.com/hcb_water_hydration_carrier.aspx), it is 17"H x 8"W x 3"D. I confirmed height and width by measuring mine, suspect the 3"D is when the bladder is inserted and full (lies flatter when empty).

The main compartment leaves things loose, so I think putting the laptop in the hydration-bladder compartment is better. I've put my 14" laptop there, and it's a perfect fit. Nothing larger would fit.

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.

10"W x 5.5"H x 2.5" Thick - that's with wallet & Taurus .40. It hangs much flatter --&gt; better design + internal elastic straps instead of a holster. I've used a fanny pack for years & this beats them all - have carried this one daily for 11 months & no wear is apparent ...

It's not meant to be stored outside a bag. I don't think any bladder is, because that's what a Nalgene with a clip can do without tearing. If your pack doesn't have a hydration compartment, then you will have to make room for it in other compartments. Use common sense, buddy.

I replaced the 2L that came with it with this one when I need over 2L, but otherwise I use the factor bladder: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001KZGYLS/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 With 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.

Hey Vanessa,Sorry didn't check this e-mail till today. I purchased a Large and found out I needed to get a Medium & I'm a big guy, 5'9'' & 225 lbs. I suppose I could have sent back, but, I needed it for an upcoming race. I hate to make you do it, but, if you are able to get to Sports Authority or Dick's sporting stores and try on a few models there. Depending upon your hydration needs; there are 8oz., 10 oz., and even the 16 oz. bottle available on the models. Hope this helps. ~~ Tim

I carry two 3.0 liter hydration packs inside the pouch and they fit well. There are exit points for both drinking straws as well. One on each side at the top of the pack. I have never went thirsty on my long hikes and even had water when there wasn't a source of water in the area I was hiking. You can't go wrong buying this pack.

any will work; I used a 3L camelback.beware; it's A) a tight fit for larger bladders and B) will make the pack sit really awkwardly and uncomfortably on your back when it's full all the way.Kinda doesn't make sense that it's right against your back - the front the pack would be a better spot as it would ride better.I highly recommend MSI's dromedary if you need to pack in your own water. those things are unkillable.

No way....max 1.5L in a single bladder.... Maybe you can squeeze in 2 X 500ml bladder.
