Will this fit in a standard hydration carrier? The Geigerrig carriers and packs are a bit too expensive for my liking.

Yes it does. It will fit any adult carrier. Its slightly longer than some engines. I love the Geigerrig engine. When we want water we just pump it up and the force shoots the water directly into our mouth. Also makes it easy to share with your four legged friends or hydrate your head when the heat gets to hot. To flush mud off your boots. I've use it for all the above. Hope this helps.

Yes! there is an adjustable "pouch" on the back of the pack that could easily hold a hydration bladder. Also, depending if the optional assault pack is attached, I have seen bladders mounted at the top between the lid and main pack via adjustable straps on the main pack which helps with weight distribution.

I have three of these packs and there is a provision for a hydration pack to be added.

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 had to google "Ogio Pack"...I have no experience with that brand of hydration systems. They sure look similar. Perhaps someone else can help you.

No problem! Also, for what it's worth: I have a contigo 24 oz bottle. That fits perfectly. I also have a camelbak same oz, but bottle is a little shorter and a little bit wider. The camelbak fits, but the zipper doesn't close as well.

I have the 6L, and it fits into the slot on my backpack quite nicely, and is functional with the hydration attachment. It is pretty large though! That said! If you are into ultralight backpacking, this is a totally bomb-proof, but heavier material water bag. I guess we're only talking about a couple of ounces here though. The 10L might be too huge for backpacking. If you have a backpack setup to take a slip in bag, I'm sure it would be fine. If you wanted to tie it to the outside of a pack, it has the webbing necessary to do so, but it takes on a pretty peculiar ovoid shape when it's full. I generally only keep it at half capacity to let the water spread out more anyway.

Yes and no. I have three different camelback bladders with their prospective carrying cases. I've found that the multicam insulated hydration carrier for the 3L is an incredibly tight squeeze. The ACU pattern non-insulated carrier fits just fine (similar to SI camelback). And the 2.5L bladder non-insulated carrier fits very easily as well with room to spare. I think it is largely dependant upon if you intend to place the carrier AND the bladder inside the flap or just the bladder. Hope that helps.

I replaced the 2L that came with it with this one when I need over 2L, but otherwise I use the factor bladder: Platypus Big Zip SL 3-Liter Hands-Free Hydration SystemWith 3L in it, it is a tight fit and the bladder is taller than the one that came with it, but I thought it worked ok. That said, I don't normally carry 3L and if I did all the time, I'd probably want a bigger pack. The other option would be to throw a couple bottles of water in the side webbing pockets. With the other stuff I normally carry, 3L makes the pack pretty tight when it's full of water, but obviously as you drink it down, it gets looser. I can say I really like the pack overall, it's great quality.

I bought a hydration bladder from walmart and it works fine(2L). Condor has one but i haven't tried it.

The hydration "Dormedary" is a heavy it is over kill if you planning on using in a bladder pack " camel bak" if you are looking for a light weight good quality look at the "Dorm Lite" the red version by MSR

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.

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.

Not really. Given that the hydration packs come in all shapes and sizes, there is probably a way to do it.

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.

No - I don't believe so. I found a USMC dry bag of almost the same interior size. I believe I read something like a raincoat which could be purchased for it. This pack is a serious system and I am well beyond the age and health to strap it on unless I make it considerable smaller and lighter. I keep emergency cooking supply's, medical supply's, and all the survival gear I can think of including quiet a lot of loaded magazines of different calibers. I purchased it due to the fact it's mil-spec which speaks for its self. good luck

It most likely will fit. I don't own any osprey backpacks so I don't know how large their hydration pockets are. In addition osprey also makes their own hydration bladders and sometimes has specific pockets for their systems. I can however fit the 2-liter source bladder comfortably into my 22 liter Gregory backpack.
