How do you carry this? My pack has no outside compartment to hold the hydration system. If I put it in the pack I don't see how I will access to it.

This is meant for packs with a hydration pocket. You could probably just set it inside a regular pack and run the tube out through a zipper. A proper hydration pocket will support the bladder, and will have an opening in the pack to route the tubing.

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.

The way I see it you have a couple options. If your backpack doesn't have a water bladder port then you can try fitting it into the main compartment of your pack and run the hose out of the pack zipping the two zippers snuggly around the hose. If you decide to do this I would put the water bladder in a big 1 pound ziplock bag to ensure no water leaks out on your other items. Or I advise buying a backpack that has a dedicated water bladder port that is made to hold this item and has a small hole for the hose to run out of. Most backpacking bags have these water bladder pouches now adays. Look at the condor 3 day tactical bag for a cheap(er) pack. Hope this helps you. The way I see it you have a couple options.

Didn't mean for that to come off as rude. Read it over and was like, sounds dickish lol. Basically if you don't have a special compartment, place this on top of everything in your main compartment then zip up to the hose. Clip the hose to your shoulder strap. You do not want this to be outside to catch a torn or jagged rock.

I use with an Osprey Stratos 36 that has a compartment for a hydration pack.Not sure but don't know why you couldn't put in pack and snake hose up through top of pack. Just my 2 cents. Hope this helps.

it depends if your pack has an internal hydration pocket or not. if it does there will be a hidden opening to allow the hose to pass through and down one of the straps so you can drink from it.

Hey david, I didn't have a compartment for it either and it ended up working great. I sandwiched in towards the top of my pack so that I could run the hose out of the top of my pack and just let it rest in it. I say go for it. It's sturdy Andy boyfriend actually had a camelback bag and it was leaking all over the place

It would be difficult to carry around. Bulky, heavy, and glass (breakable). Would not recommend carrying it around. I wouldn't recommend it being a daily water bottle/jar. Would not be easy to pour from as it doesn't have a lip only a normal jar opening.

Not for this particular model, the back is open... however, Condor makes a number of hydration carriers that can be adapted. Take a look on their website.

I was "able" to fit a 32oz nalgene in it. Its a tight fit, and since the pocket is narrower at the bottom, the bottle wouldn't enter the pocket fully. I'm sure with a bit more use it loosen up. But off the bat, it wasn't a perfect fit and snug, and found a 20oz bottle would fit nicely inside, and still be able to pull the strap to make it extremely snug, that bottle would not go anywhere. I carry a water bottle on me every day, and used to use a 32oz nalgene, but switched to two smaller nalgenes because I found it more balanced and a better fit. (a full 32oz nalgene will put the bag off balance).Short answer: yes it will fit a 32oz nalgene, not perfectly at first though I was "able" to fit a 32oz nalgene in it.

There is no access into the bag from the sides, just a pocket for accessories on each side. I use this more as a bag to keep everything together as it is very large and heavy when filled. I would not take it hiking...Would use a smaller one I have for that.

I take mine with me everywhere. I keep it in the opaque bag it came in and I just slip it out of my pack and head for a tree. I don't worry if anyone sees it because we all pee and I think it's a great invention. If I meet a woman that asks, I'm happy to share how it works. A guy would probably just think it is holding paper. I tuck some paper in the bottom to catch any moisture and at the top of the bag there is room for clean paper storage. I tuck any used paper in the bottom of the bag. I just wash it when I get home.

Not hydration bladder capable. It has so many options I didnt even think of that. Although in the top compartment I have put a mini cooler for beverages. I have never used a hydration bladder fishing before but that is not a bad idea.

It doesn't have to go with any particular pack. It is fairly large though. So a full size backpack that is hydration ready would be best.

It works like a standard backpack. You will need to remove it off of your shoulders to access anything. It is too cumbersome to use it like a sling and open it on the go.

The hydration pack is integrated into the vest's back. You could remove it if you had an alternate back or alternate straps to attach to the vest, but it would take some work.

High Sierra responded back and they said that the mesh water bottle holder doesn't seem large enough for that size of bottle. I'm sorry, but I hope this helps you find the correct backpack. Besides the water bottle holder, everything else is amazing! I suggest what Erin said below!! I hope this helped

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.

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.

I own the bag. I took it with me while hiking in Yosemite. It performed well, both as a back pack and as a sling. The important thing to remember in using the bag as a sling is the way you pack it. If heavy things are at the bottom side of the bag, away from you, it should carry fine. I found that I used the top compartment for sack lunch and water bottle, with cameras, lenses on the bottom.

Yep. I just removed the backpack straps and MOLLE'd the whole thing to my plate carrier bro. It is an advantage to have a backpack in the field. Not to mention water..... Lol Good luck bro

There is webbing and velcro on the back. I believe you could rig something up for a hydration bag.

External frame for the main pack. Hydration carrier and assault bag don't have a frame.
