I bought this pack for a day pack to take hiking, here in these good ol' WV mountains, it will be replacing a smaller hydration/back pack I had that just didn't have enough room, and the shoulder straps weren't all that suited for a long hike.  The hydration bladder that is in my old pack, is a 2ltr, and I was thinking of a bigger bladder for this pack.  The pack has the pouch inside for a bladder, so no problem there.  I was thinking of a camelbak bladder, but thought I'd check with you guys here first and see what you think.....

If you guys have any links, Ideas I'm all ears

I like MSR Bladders and camel back bite valves, I have been using the sam MSR bag in the Army now for 5 years at least, and it is working just great.

If you buy a quality bladder, you will have spent more on the bladder than your pack, interesting.

FWIW, I am a CamelBak user.  I am satisfied with it.  Be sure and get the ones with the wide mouth.

My only complaint about bladders is having to take them out to refill.  Also having to unload half your pack to put bladder back in the pack.

Yeah, I'm ok, with paying more for the bladder, I got a pretty good deal on the pack, it is very heavy duty, and high quality for the price.  

I'll look into the MSR stuff.  I have friends in the cross country motorcycle racing scene, so they may be able to suggest stuff.

I did see this though, looks nice....  http://www.rei.com/product/733683
