- If you want to bring a water bottle instead of the bladder, this version does not have the mesh side pouches to accommodate that. Instead, they are zippered side pouches which feel like they go in the wrong direction. Putting your water bottle in there does not feel secured, so I put my water bottle in the main compartment, which means asking my hiking partner politely to grab it for me or just taking my bag off. I believe the updated version (which is more expensive) has side mesh pockets.
- You're working with one main compartment, and two side pouches. If you're wanting multiple compartments to work with so you don't have to dig for items, it's limiting.
That being said, I like this bag and it's overall a good step up from my smaller Osprey Hikelite bag. With the included reservoir, it's a fair price.

Camelbak is ok but poor compatibility with filters, attachments, etc
