Would it work to put a Camelbak resevoir into the laptop compartment and use it for hydration during a hike?

You know I really think it would. I have thought of that myself. The zipper goes all the way up & so all you would have to do is stick the hose up near the top & zip it up to there.

that could potentially work. There's definitely enough room I'd say. Also, the top compartment (the non-photo-compartment one) is hella big and easily fits a medium-sized camelbak resevoir

Yes. I used a Camelbak reservoir into the laptop compartment hiking the Inka Trail and it worked perfectly! Go ahead, it will fit and work fine.

I tried it before but I imagine you'd like to have some visual proof of this. Yes, it is possible (if you don't mind wrinkling your clothes a bit).http://imgur.com/CRCw3Di (1.5 L water bladder + jeans + shirt + track jacket + rain coat) http://i.imgur.com/f4smFV9 (All in the bag! You have to roll up your jacket and put it in the sleeping bag pocket.)http://imgur.com/Vv73KLU (While on my back)

With the attachment it works like any other hydration bag, so it should work just fine.

You should have no problem fitting it in, Might be a little uncomfortable to walk around with 2 liters if water in a drawstring backpack though.

Easily. the zippered pouch on back holds quite a bit. there is also plenty of room inside the hydration pouch even when full. there is also a mesh on the side that touches your backpack that can hold a folded rain jacket.

Yes, however it is a tight fit. Meaning not much else other than the laptop will fit in the bag.

Yes, it should without a problem. I carry my thick laptop, charger, a textbook or two and a water bottle on a daily basis without any trouble.

If the sleeve supports the bottom it should be alright. I threw mine into a Jan sport backpack without hangers for it and it works fine. Mainly as long as the drinking hose is on the bottom gravity and suction should do its job.

I don't recommend it. It is heavy, especially when it is filled. For biking I would use a camelbak style hydration system, it is good for frequent and small amount of water intake. It gets warm, for sure, and it is more troublesome to use (refill, cleaning etc). This thermos is good, if you combine it with a proper bag, like Maxpedition's Pigmy Falcon (you can bring two bottles), or Monsoon, also from Maxpedition.

I put it in my backpack and refill my water bottles with it while I'm biking. This was a very cheap alternative to the expensive camelback hydration systems.

I went with the Camelbak Thermobak 100ml mil spec tactical hydration pack. It's a stand alone back pack hydration system that I strap inside tight to the Condor 3 day assault pack with the inside straps and have it pressed next to my back inside the the backpack. Run the hydration tube hose up thru one of three holes out the top of the pack and around to the front. I like the Camelbak because it gives my the versatility to pull the hydration system out of the pack and wear it alone on over my shoulders and back in times when I don't need a backpack, just hydration, hope this helps. Your going to spend more, but it's worth it to have the durability and versatility. Hope this helps

I have 3 of them and took them backpacking with pretty full packs and none of them leaked. But, with that being said, I'm not sure I'd chance it with my laptop unless there was a divider of some sort.

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.

Yes that is exactly how i have mine set up, i even bought a molle compatible hydration carrier and slid the harness straps through the molle webbing for my camelbak

I'm afraid I can't answer with any certainty. I only use the camel bak hydration packs, and have no experience with the bottles. Your best bet is to find out would be the camel bak website proper. Also, at this price, it's not much of a risk if they don't fit.

Don't own that specific bag, but I've used this in a pretty small ~15L pack for snowboarding, with no problems. This bladder has a loop up top that helps it stay in place, provided your pack has a clip above the hydration compartment. The hose is nice and long too so my guess is it'll work just fine. Hope that helps!

Depends on the size of the laptop, I'd say so but might look into the 36L pack instead of the 20L pack
