It says it has a hydration pocket and port. What size bladder can it hold? Will it do a full 3L bladder?

It's a really big pocket that runs the length and width of the bag on the inside of the main part of the pack. I use a 2L bladder and there's plenty of extra room. I would bet a 3L would be just fine.

The main compartment leaves things loose, so I think putting the laptop in the hydration-bladder compartment is better. I've put my 14" laptop there, and it's a perfect fit. Nothing larger would fit.

There is only one pocket in this hydration pack. The pocket holds the water within the holding unit. The pack measures 20.5" long X 8" wide.

It has a pocket and a velcro loop to hang it from. I use a 3L Source bladder with room to spare.

Yes, but it is not very large, even without the bladder. It has been a good day pack for me. It is just too small to pack the extra clothing needed in the high mountains, so for those hikes, I add a lumbar pack.

Not big at all. It fits a small wallet and some knick-knacks. The opening is about 15cm. I tend not to fill the water bladder the whole way and stuff other items into the back next to bladder. If you are looking for a similar bag with more storage, check out the Camelbak Octane 22LR. I find that better for trail runs in changeable weather when I want to pack a jacket, extra layers, and food. I own both the XCT and the 22LR, and use them both. There is an 18LR model that is in between those two in terms of storage space, but I don't own that one. Worth checking out.

I'm sure there are many packs that are designed for this bladder specifically. I use it in a pocket on my pack that I just stuff it in, and it works great. I have found it to be the best bladder on the market.

Yes and has a velcro loop at the top to hold different bladders. Still leaves plenty of room for .

No. I personally wouldn't recommend carrying a hydration bladder at all. With a full bladder in the sleeve of this backpack the comfort of the suspension and effectiveness of the back ventilation mesh are diminished. Unless absolutely necessary, carrying water adds a ton of weight. I suggest carrying a water filter (Sawyer Squeeze is my recommendation) and stopping at available water sources.

I carry two 3.0 liter hydration packs inside the pouch and they fit well. There are exit points for both drinking straws as well. One on each side at the top of the pack. I have never went thirsty on my long hikes and even had water when there wasn't a source of water in the area I was hiking. You can't go wrong buying this pack.

any will work; I used a 3L camelback.beware; it's A) a tight fit for larger bladders and B) will make the pack sit really awkwardly and uncomfortably on your back when it's full all the way.Kinda doesn't make sense that it's right against your back - the front the pack would be a better spot as it would ride better.I highly recommend MSI's dromedary if you need to pack in your own water. those things are unkillable.

Each bladder holds 4L. However, one is for dirty water and should not be used for drinking.

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

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.

There is one sleeve for a bladder. I'm not positive, but I think it will take a 3 liter bladder.

It comes with a 2L bladder, at least mine did. I was able to fit a 3L Platypus bladder in but it was tight. See my answer to the question re: this.

It will hold three 16.9oz bottles of water. That's pre-bottled like poland spring or something similar with the same 16.9oz of water. As for bottles you fill yourself, it can fit three 20oz rubbermaid bottles or three Sigg metal .06 liter(20.3oz) bottles. Tried it with a 22oz camelbak bottle to find it doesn't fit. Mostly because of the swing of the lid the carabiner attaches to, and the rubber nipple. Camelbaks, unless you use the kid size bottles, are too tall. Stick with any water bottle with a flat top that can carry 20 oz of water and you can fit three of them in PackIt with no trouble.
