Does this pack have the capability to hold a hydration bladder? If so does it have a specific pocket or does it just go into the main compartment?

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, 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.

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.

While it has many many many slots for different things, it does NOT have a slot made specifically for a water bottle. The front-most pocket is large enough for a water bottle but it's not designed for it (and thus doesn't give you immediate access to it). FYI - I am very happy with the backpack.

I have not used the water bladder. There are 2 side mesh pockets that a bottle of water fits perfect in.

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's a fanny pack and the entire inside is a bladder water pack which occasionally leaks...I love the concept but it's bigger than I would like and prone to leakage....

The ilbe main pack that I received from Black Star Surplus included a detachable interior utility pouch. This could be for a quick retrieve first-aid kit etc. I tried it with a Camelbak 100oz. 'Unbottle' and it seems to fit great; and the drawstring closure under the pack lid has hydration tube ports on the left and right sides. Hope this helps.

It will hold a 100 oz bladder. I had one in my one but found adding another 8 lbs to my pack was overkill for me as my EDC.

There is no official water pocket but if you unzip the side pocket it can work to hold water bottle.

Yes that bladder is easily removed, I actually took the bladder out and have never used it. I use the bladder pocket for extra storage on day hikes.

Mine doesn't. I use the front pockets or my hydration belt to store things. I actually prefer the hydration belt overall.

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.

Yes, it can come out where the fill hole sits in the pack and there is a zipper that opens the pack next to the bladder.

It most likely will fit. I don't own any osprey backpacks so I don't know how large their hydration pockets are. In addition osprey also makes their own hydration bladders and sometimes has specific pockets for their systems. I can however fit the 2-liter source bladder comfortably into my 22 liter Gregory backpack.

Im going to assume your asking about a separation between the bladder and the contents of the pack. the answer to that is no. the pack is one large storage. However, the main pack SHOULD come with an assault pack attached. that assault pack does have a separation for bladders. what I use is a camel back for the water bladder and jerry rig it to the side of the pack.

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.
