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

Some gear can be accessed with the pack standing up (same position as when the pack is on your back). But you'll usually need to set the pack on the ground with the back (side with shoulder straps & hip belt) down to access your gear. If the ground is wet or muddy, you can easily install the (included) rain fly over the back of the pack (covers all the straps) to keep it clean.

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.

You should NOT use the top loop to hook this canteen onto your pack. First, over time, using the loop as a carrying handle will unseat (or maybe wear/stretch?) the plastic center piece in the lid (the plastic "rivet" the loop hooks onto at the top of the canteen lid) and will cause the canteen to leak substantially when not in the upright position. (The water leaks through the top of the "rivet" area.) Second, the strap is not that strong, and over time would likely break if you carry it that way.

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 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.

Good question since I was carrying it in the rain today. The large compartment closeset to your back has a different material on the inside that would resist water pretty well except in drenching conditions. The outer material of the pack is a tough, but not waterproof, denier material. It get's damp with exposure to rain but I haven't had it soak through yet. If you're concerned about getting contents wet I'd recommend ziploc bags or small / medium sil nylon stuff sacks for contents.

Not on the outside of the bag - which what I think you are asking. But the bag is huge and you will find plenty of places to put your water inside the bag. You can try converting one of the front pockets to a water bottle pocket but it may be small to accommodate. Good luck and enjoy it for the other features.

I don't have one of those water bottles, but I've easily fit a standard water bottle in the side pocket. (One for me and one for baby). Much bigger than that it might not fit. The elastic stretches a bit to hold it snug.

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 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.

Not sure if it's "better", but the advantages of this system is that it allows you to convert your Nalgene bottle (or others) to a hands free hydrations. The bottle takes the place of the bladder. The good news is that the bladder no longer takes up valuable real estate inside your pack (assuming you use the side bottle pockets). Oh, and no more straining to reach back to get the bottle.

Mine doesn't. I use the front pockets or my hydration belt to store things. I actually prefer the hydration belt overall.

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

You could put a water bottle in the top section between the two side handles. Or hang it on the side using a strap or cord (there are small loops to attach things to). But there are no external pouches big enough to hold a water bottle, only a couple filter pockets. And if you put the bottle inside, you might have to take the bag off to get to it.

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.

Not likely, if water leaked in large amounts and was left in the bag, it would be a remote possibility. I own the bag, and have never had a problem. Make sure the water fill port is properly sealed on the hydration bladder and you should be fine.
