will the bladder fit in most packs, or do you have to have a specific brand to make it work

I have 5 packs and this bladder fits them all. It's almost the same length as the two liter, but wider. The insulated hose is "Fat", so it's kind of hard to fish through some shoulder straps, but I don't thing you will have an issue. Have a Great Day Erika :)

I would think, I don't know for sure, that it would fit in most modern packs with a standard hydration insert built into them. I think I have a full two litter Platypus and it fits into my Osprey pack (with or without the insulator case on) with no problems. Hope that helps! Earl

Yes I think so, I have a small Gregory Day pack & a 2Day Northface, bladder with insulator is a good fit.

I never put my platypus on a backpack- years ago I bought the 1.8 liter pack and I wore it like a backpack-it had straps like a back pack does so it worked really well. The 3.0 liter pack which I purchased from Amazon a few months back is quite large & heavy when filled and has EYE tabs which you would attach to a backpack. So I would say no it would not fit IN a backpack.

It just needs to fit. Get the dimensions of the bladder and the pack. Make sure you allow for the thickness of the bladder when full and the larger hose of this bladder. Seems like most water packs have a hook on the top to hang the bag from. Seems pretty universal to me.

That's a good question because the bladder in mine appears to be too small.

It's should be the average 2.5L bladder I believe. But it is interchangeable as the sheath has 2 Velcro straps inside to hook the bladder to.

As far as I can see bladder fits in the conceal weapon compartment of the bag. I have two bladders but have yet to try to set them up on my Gear Slinger.

While a bladder will certainly fit, this seems to be designed for liquids that are already in a container. A 2 liter plastic bottle will fit. The bladder will depend on the dimensions. Short, long, etc.

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.

Bladder is not included. Although, if you want an expectional pack at this price them I would highly recommend it. The only downfall I have found is if you have broad shoulders then it will be a little snug on you. Besides that, I am very happy with this purchase!

Yeah, but only if it's the same size as the speedbag: all speedbags and bladders come in different sizes, 5x7, etc.

I do not use, and am not personally familiar with, the ILBE Gen 2 Main Pack, but several of the answers to the same question you are asking about this item in its Amazon.com listing says it is compatible with hydration bladders. One even includes the web address for a video on this topic. I would suggest you read through the information about the ILBE Gen 2 Main Pack on Amazon.com. and hope this referral is helpful to you. I use the Condor 3-Day Assault Pack, which can accommodate two (2) Camelbak 100 oz/ 3.0 L hydration bladders. I stopped carrying two hydration bladders in it to reduce the weight of the fully loaded pack, and use the "extra" space in the hydration section to hold one Camelbak 100 oz/ 3.0 L hydration bladder, its cleaning kit, extra in-line charcoal filter cartridges for my Camelbak in-line filter (to remove "funky flavors" from the water), a Sawyer Products Mini-Filter and accessories (to filter out microscopic "critters" in water from "unknown natural" sources when refilling the hydration bladder), a back-up drinking tube (in case my primary drinking tube gets cut or damaged), a LifeStraw personal water filter, and a military personal reverse osmosis water filtration system. All This extra gear weighs a lot less than an additional 3.0 L of water and hydration bladder, and it gives me the ability to safely drink pretty much any water I encounter and safely refill my hydration bladder over and over. As the old philosopher once said, "Show a man how to carry an extra 3.0 liters of water, and you'll get him through the next day. Show him how to make any water he finds safe to drink, and he will have water for the rest of his life". . . . or maybe he was talking about fishing.

Yes there is a separate compartment for a bladder and there is a built in pack cover on the underside.

I have a wide mouth 3.0 liter Camelback hydration bladder. It has a thick plastic hook on the cap portion of the bladder which works nicely with the velcro tab in the pack's bladder compartment. This prevents the bladder from collapsing to the bottom of the compartment. I hope this helps.

No way....max 1.5L in a single bladder.... Maybe you can squeeze in 2 X 500ml bladder.

It doesn't have to go with any particular pack. It is fairly large though. So a full size backpack that is hydration ready would be best.

I've owned a couple of these over the years and never had any leaking issues. Your most prone to issues from the removing and installing the bladder from the pack. Hope this helps.

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

Did not see anything on the Geigerrig website, but found a review on another site that said you can use a 2L or 3L bladder. The review was for the Geigerrig Tactical 1600, though. Not sure if that makes a difference.

Don't own that specific bag, but I've used this in a pretty small ~15L pack for snowboarding, with no problems. This bladder has a loop up top that helps it stay in place, provided your pack has a clip above the hydration compartment. The hose is nice and long too so my guess is it'll work just fine. Hope that helps!
