Will this pack carry a camelbak brand bladder, as opposed to the osprey-branded one?

I don´t know exactly, but it´s a big compartment. I think it can carry almost any camelbak. Why don´t you look for a store that has one of this packs and try it?

I do not use, and am not personally familiar with, the ILBE Gen 2 Main Pack, but several of the answers to the same question you are asking about this item in its Amazon.com listing says it is compatible with hydration bladders. One even includes the web address for a video on this topic. I would suggest you read through the information about the ILBE Gen 2 Main Pack on Amazon.com. and hope this referral is helpful to you. I use the Condor 3-Day Assault Pack, which can accommodate two (2) Camelbak 100 oz/ 3.0 L hydration bladders. I stopped carrying two hydration bladders in it to reduce the weight of the fully loaded pack, and use the "extra" space in the hydration section to hold one Camelbak 100 oz/ 3.0 L hydration bladder, its cleaning kit, extra in-line charcoal filter cartridges for my Camelbak in-line filter (to remove "funky flavors" from the water), a Sawyer Products Mini-Filter and accessories (to filter out microscopic "critters" in water from "unknown natural" sources when refilling the hydration bladder), a back-up drinking tube (in case my primary drinking tube gets cut or damaged), a LifeStraw personal water filter, and a military personal reverse osmosis water filtration system. All This extra gear weighs a lot less than an additional 3.0 L of water and hydration bladder, and it gives me the ability to safely drink pretty much any water I encounter and safely refill my hydration bladder over and over. As the old philosopher once said, "Show a man how to carry an extra 3.0 liters of water, and you'll get him through the next day. Show him how to make any water he finds safe to drink, and he will have water for the rest of his life". . . . or maybe he was talking about fishing.

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

Personally, I wouldn't recommend it. The Osprey has an airscape design for the back which gives the pack a kinda seemeless fit with the spine, bending, or folding it might damage it.

No, it's too skinny for a camelback style pack. It would be best to get surgical tubing, you can buy it at a medical supply store.

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.

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.

over time I have switched to other bladders. My favorite right now is http://www.geigerrig.com/. I have tried Camelbaks and Platypus bags but I find the geigerrig's ability to turn inside out the easiest to clean and keep dry. The problem with the sawyer bags are they are hard to keep clean and the handles/small hole at the bottom tear under full weight of water (or maybe a bit more if you hang it wrong) so they become (imo) worthless. If I had to do it all over again, i would just order the filter and make my own system with it. Just my .02

Yes to answer your question you posted on Amazon this bladder will fit your bag, I purchased the same Everlast Ta:speed bag red from Dick's sporting good's a couple of years ago and the bladder wore out. I purchased the title Bladder and it fitted perfect and has actually lasted longer then the original everlast bladder. Good Luck hope this help's in making your decision.

I will have to check the exact dimensions and get back to you on 7/15. But the bladder itself is extremely similar to the camelbak hydration packs. Which is one reason I purchased it; this is half the price of just a bladder for the camelbak.

Not sure of the actual size, but I can easily fit my Camelbak Mil Spec short 3 Liter bladder in there.

No. But it has a place to put a bladder inside the bag. It also has a slot on the right shoulder indicated by a water droplet for the hose of your bladder to go through. Essentially if you have or buy a bladder you will have a backpack with a camelpak built into it. If I made any sense lol.

Yes there is a separate compartment for a bladder and there is a built in pack cover on the underside.

Nothing in this particular pack is fleece lined. You may want to get cases for things your worried about getting scratched. Perhaps the camelbak is refering to a newer model?

There is a specific bag by camelbak called the M.U.L.E. it is a reservoir hydration bag. Its skinnier, but longer from top to bottom. The one I got fits over a regular school backpack that one would not in my opinion. I have the M.U.L.E. actually and it is quite smaller than a backpack.

Mine did not come with a bladder, but a 50 oz. Camelbak bladder (got mine at MIL Clothing Sales), fit perfectly. I use mine on my Crye Belt and it does not get in the way while sitting in a vehicle or while moving. Good luck. Again - no bladder came with mine

I would think, I don't know for sure, that it would fit in most modern packs with a standard hydration insert built into them. I think I have a full two litter Platypus and it fits into my Osprey pack (with or without the insulator case on) with no problems. Hope that helps! Earl
