Dose anyone think a large pac pouch (900 cin.) that has a hydration carrier would be stable on that rig if the load overall didn't exceed say 45lbs?

The rear portion is pretty narrow and the straps that secure the front to the back are attached center mass on the rear. The way it is I have my doubts it will be very stable and is already very difficult to buckle without the help of a battle buddy. The addition of a large pouch on the back would probably help disperse the weight better front to rear but I doubt side to side motions like IMT or anything Chuck Norris like would cause it to swing

I would agree with TacJ that the rear is narrow enough that a pouch holding 45lbs may be too much. A butt pack such as the maxpedition proteus (small 270 cu in) or sabercat (large 600 cu in) might fit nicely. If I need to carry more, I simply thow my pack over the vest.

I don't think you will get the stability you are looking for. Have a look at the Banshee by TAG before you purchase.

I use it for my full size 45 ACP,1911 Government model of all my holsters it works the very best. I've lost weight, but, when I first tried it I was pushing 300 and only 6' tall. I wore it all day and did not experience any difficulty and this was while we were on the road and we had stopped and hiked some trails too. I like that rig a lot.

Not if you cinch the belt tight enough. It has elastic, so it's still comfortable. The pouch will carry one bag of poo from a medium sized (50lb) dog with no problem.

there is slight padding on the shoulder straps. there is no hip belt. running with 35 pounds in this would jostle quite a bit. its a dry bag for boats not a running pack. i think a 35 pound load would not break the bag but i certainly would not run with 35 lbs in it while one my back.

It is very stable. I have loaded it up with heavy duty (heavyweight) manila folders and have had no problem - it doesn't budge. When you carry it, carry it by the handles. I am beginning to use it for Pendaflex files, also. It's wonderful for both manila and pendaflex.

I just tested it with 500 rounds of 45 long colt. That's pretty heavy for my back. It did not look like it was about to come apart at all. Did not sag in the middle while using the shoulder strap. I had two 100 round plastic boxes and the rest were 50 round boxes. I'm sure I could have put my two Ruger Vaqueros in it also and the rest of my range gear. But I wouldn't want to carry it to far myself.

I tried to attach it to my Condor three day assault bag but the my gun (AK-47) was to heavy and made it awkward. So I added two butler creek straps and use it just to transport my gun to and from the range.

Hey Bryon;The weight warning in the manual says not to exceed over 260 lbs. Most of the weight is loaded on the ladder rungs and rails and not much weight is transferred to the supporting mounting plate bolted to the tailgate.It works pretty well. I went to Home Depot and bought a 12' long 3/4" wide velcro cinch strap to replace the short one the manufacturer supplies and it worked out fine. The 3 pack only costs about $5.00.I'm 240 lbs and it supports very well. Sure beats climbing over the closed tailgate to get into the cargo space.

More then likely yes. I got it for a midsize rig but it would fit in my large bladder holder. There will be space in the bottom unused

The straps are rated pretty high and I strap a 450 lb. 4 wheeler to my trailer and it does not move in transit. I think the strap may work well for you.

Yes it would. The bottom rifle butt holder that hangs out the bottom right is not the only securing function of the system to hold the rifle. Each pocket that the rifle slides in behind cinches down to hold the rifle tight against the side of the pack taking a lot of the weight off the "butt holder". I carry a .45/70 long barrel which is a heavy gun and I have had not trouble at all. The pack is Multi and I mean MULTI-functional. I have no negative comments about this pack that I think of at the moment. I am getting ready to go back out soon, so I can report if any issues. I had a little issue figuring out the space bar that holds the pack open and there is no instructions or videos but I figured out what works for me.

I think it may be a little tight of a fit. But the pouch definitely expanses quite a bit. Try it, amazon's return policy is one of the best

No, if does not. The pouch looks like it can hold a 1 litre bladder though.

You could rig something up through the belt loop but it would not be practical for the size of the pouch.

I've had it loaded for a dayhike for my wife an I (lots of water, some food, rain gear, first aid, etc) with no concerns whatsoever. I think unless you're planning on hauling bricks, you'll be just fine. I would have felt comfortable with it carrying twice the weight I'd given it, but I think it would become uncomfortable for the carrier. The pack isn't designed for very long and very heavy.

The pouch is about 4" wide and 6" tall by 1/2" thick. The side seals can be folded to make the pouch about 3" wide and about 5 3/4 tall. The pouch holds about 4.2 oz which is 1\2 cup.I think this water packet may work fine for your need. The pouch is sturdy.

I'd be careful not to load it up too heavy. Because it expands into three tiers it doesn't have the strength of something like an action packer.
