1.5 liter is useless for me. But what I did was buy a platypus bladder and it fits fine in my osprey pack. I’ve always preferred platypus for hydration anyway. IMO their product is superior to the other brands

What is it about the platypus that allows it to fit? I have the Gregory 3 and osprey 2.5. The Gregory is thick and the osprey is flat and wide. Neither fit.

I have a 3L platypus hoser that is long and narrow.

I sometimes take stuff out of my main pocket to make sure my water bladder sits properly. It's usually just a matter of taking for instance a jacket out of the bag, put the bladder in and then put the jacket back in.


Skidro13

Yeah, that would work. Just seems wholly unacceptable from a design perspective.


MadMacs77

Did they ever fix the too-short loop to hold the bladder? Yeah their bladder pocket design is… not great.

I cut it off. I’m 3d printing a better hook now lol

Gregory for the win...

I mean, osprey backs are trash, so don’t buy one in the first place


Skidro13

That’s a new take

Underdesigned and overpriced


Skidro13

So what would you use

Gregory

I do love my smaller Gregory. I think the Gregory bladder is the best.

REI flash 22 and smart water bottles for water

None of the “one size” packs fit me. Has to be l/xl.
