Does this (Platypus Insulator Hydration System) include the bladder? If YES! Did you buy from amazon.com or backcoutry?

Yes it comes with the bladder and yes I purchased from Amazon. One negative, you can not let the water sit in the tubing because you get a terrible taste from the tubing. I tried soaking in baking soda but it did not help. I did keep it in my car attached to my headrest seat because I drink a lot of water but the taste from the tubing was so bad I hardly use it!

Your bet, it comes as the picture indicates. The insulation on the drink tube is kind of fat and is difficult to route through the shoulder straps. Hope that helps! I purchased it from Amazon.

Sorry, I have no experience with the Platypus. The Nalegene worked well as a winter camping "pee" bottle. Earlier I tried it as a water bottle and found it awkward to drink from. Advantage, though, is it can be rolled up when empty.

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.

It does not come with a water bladder, just a spot to put one if you have one.

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.

It has a hydration compartment.....must insert your own water bladder....don't know if I have answered correctly. Hope this helps.

A 2.5L bladder fits. But I'd suggest not putting one in. I tried & it creates a hump dead center of the pack. Makes it kind of uncomfortable. Plus, you'll be adjusting your straps through the day as you empty the bladder.

The original item comes with both the bladder and cover and tie down cords. You can replace either the cover or bladder separately if and when needed. Inflate just enough to get your behind off your seat. Not dumb at all, but in your case "may be" is actually two separate words.

Mine did NOT come with a bladder or tube. It came with a battery and that's all.

Their website and packaging say that all of their bladders are made from 100% FDA approved BPA free material, though I could not find any information from the FDA on this or any other hydration bladder. I am not sure why anyone would think this was not BPA free.

It does have an inner pocket for a bladder. There is also a small slit for the hose to come out near the top of one of the straps. I have a 2L bladder that fits well. Outdoor Products sells them. There is a small hook that will keep the bladder in place. If you get the Outdoor Products bladder it will fit the hook perfectly. If you go with a 3L, look to see if Outdoor Products sells them as it might fit better into the provided pocket.-ISAAC

No bladder included.. but it has a big velcro pouch for one. This seems to be the same bag that is pictured elsewhere along with a bladder and sip tube. So it can be easily added.

It does not come with the 1.5 litre bladder. You must buy that separately. For the price you would think it would include the bladder!

There is a sleeve in the main pocket against the back panel that the bladder fits into. Two hooks help hold it in place. The hose runs up through a dedicated hole at the top of the pack, then over one of your shoulders and down along one of the shoulder straps secured by a strap for easy access. My camel back seemed as if it was made for this pack it fit so well.

yes this comes with a sizeable bladder complete with hose and bite valve. 100 oz. / 3 liter. I use a smaller bladder to allow for more storage.

Mine did, everything but the bladder and tube. Mine was also in new condition except for the tape residue on one of the grab handles. I was very happy with it. You do need to read the vendor's feedback to make sure that you will get what they advertise. They are monster packs.
