Can you use the top loop to hook onto a back pack?

With the canteen filled I would not risk my canteen, the weight of the water can break the loop, and the canteen can get scratched.

I wouldn't recommend that, cause if you do, the bottle will be swinging from side to side all the way you walk and probably the loop will not last for long then...

It's plastic and sturdy-I guess you could. It fits US surplus canteen holders-which-if you make wet, keeps the contents cool.

The loop itself could serve as an attachment point to a backpack and hold the weight of the canteen when filled up, but not indefinitely. It would be best to carry this canteen either inside a backpack or in its own pouch. Mounting an empty canteen to a backpack via the loop should not be a problem, but I would only attach a filled canteen to a backpack via the loop in an emergency or if no other options are available.

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.

Probably, it's pretty robust. I don't know how long it would last if you were doing that alot. Take a look at this, this is it's natural home 1QT MOLLE Canteen Pouch Woodland Camo

yes you could as is but you would be better served using a Nite Ize S binder to hook it to your pack as I do with mine

Thanks! Trying to consolidate what I carry. That would be no good if I lost it altogether so a pouch would be best. Thanks for your answer!

i bought my case at gorilla gadgets - no loop for that. looks like it attaches on the top in that little space on the back - good luck

Yes just take out the frame and connect to shoulder straps directly to the pack.

It would work excellent. There is a stabilizer strap for holding the bag tight that most people tuck into the opposite strap slot. With this strap snapped into the single strap the pack is very stable. I use my pack for every hike I have been on, it is my Man Purse.

The loops are for gel packs. I haven't been able to figure out a way to carry water bottles.

Hi there!Sure. You can. I even tried once to use it this way. Unfortunately I didn't like it. Mostly because the bag kept falling to the lowest point, just under my right arm. Which was quite annoying, because it kept hindering the swing of my arm. Maybe I should had fastened the belt a more. Regardless of that, that bag is really discrete and slim. Unless you run with a really tight shirt, you can place the bag under it, and no one will know you are using this pack. It really is that small. I usually use it this way, under my t-shirt.

If you purchase nylon sleeping bag straps you could thread them through loops on the top.

Yes, you can. The strap (attaching) loops in the back are "bulged" on the top to accommodate a cable. But, here's the thing: the loops in the back are cheap plastic. I cracked one of the two loops on mine just by tightening my strap too much. So, if your thought is to secure this with a heavy metal cable and lock to prevent theft, I'd forget that idea. You'd need to put it in a strong box for that. Cheers.

No, I do not think so unless you have long arms and are very agile. the lower front pockets maybe but not the much deeper back pocket. If you pull it off the handles you will have to get someone else to put the loops back on the handles so it hangs again. It is a good idea but only if you have someone to help.

It works best with a pack that has a sleeve to hold a bladder. If the loop is long enough it might be possible to tie it to one of the two plastic holes at the top of the bladder. If it is a short loop meant to clip a Camelback onto it probably won't work.

There is a little notch on the upper right top corner, put the thin part of the strap thru, pull it thru the other end, when you have done that, you can pull the thicker end of the strap thru the loop on the thin end, it will loop and attach.

Absolutely. The extra straps it comes with worked great to lock my sleeping bag right to the top. Was like it was meant to carry strapped to the frame with them.

You should be able to, assuming it has some way of attaching to the molle or even the d ring

I just tried and was unable. The top hook is 1 & 1/8" wide at the widest point. Making a loop with a piece of rope, mentioned in another answer, would be a great idea though!

Yes, but you would have to run a rod thru the top and then you would need a loop and a hanger

The Loops on ALL backpacks are there for ice picks (original intent of installation). However, they can be used in a variety of ways such as carrying pads, bags, and other things.

If the have a strap, and you can fit the loops through the strap slots, it should be fine
