It seems like a great bag though, too bad the strapettes are not available as an option, or I'd be all over this drop. Maybe something for Massdrop to think about for the next drop?
However, you can still easily use this pack with a bladder. I have put my CamelBak with a 2L bladder in the main pouch, put a carabiner through both pull tabs on the zipper and through a loop on the side of the pack (to keep the zipper closed) then clipped the drink tube to the strappettes. This does carry well and keeps the CamelBak off my back during the hot and humid days of summer when I'm carrying as little as possible anyhow.
The caveat is this takes up almost all of the space in the main compartment and the main is 2/3 of the internal carrying capacity of this pack. Could take just the bladder and save some space. I choose to leave the bladder inside its mini backpack so that I can wear the CamelBak separately when I find wild edible plants, natural tinders, flint, etc that I want to gather.
I specify internal space as you can easily attach multiple items to the outside. Like a CCF sit pad, spare flannel shirt, sandals, swim trunks and a poncho all on the outside of the pack and strappettes. Still had enough room inside for lunch and supper on the trail (alcohol stove, windscreen, pot, mug and bowl, utensils, etc), camera, compass, maps, FAK (First Aid kit), etc. A comfortable summertime sunup to past sundown trek using just this pack and a lil creativity. Hope that helps!
