Do the side pockets hold a water bottle well?

yeah! you can fit a water bottle in there really nicely, and you can make the pocket tighter as well. so i guess most sizes would fit

They hold them pretty well. I have one the BPA water bottles (camel brand), and I always put it in the side pocket. It fits perfectly.

Yes, both side pockets do. One is a little tight but I regularly carry both my toddlers sippy cups in the side pockets.

There are not pockets on the side for waterbottles, but the backpack can easily hold three textbooks and your laptop. (granted that not ALL THREE textbooks are going to be your average size of a physics book or something)

Hi Jeniffer. No. There is not a pocket for a water bottle, but I place my bottle inside in the first big compartment next to my books. It is just like a messenger bag, more than a school bag... but it is a very nice bag for the price. I carry in it my laptop, notebooks, and charger. Sometimes it's a little to bulky, but it does the job.. hope that helps.

It is very comfy for biking. The side pockets are designed horribly though and any water bottle would fall out. There is a spot for a water bag though.

No, depending on the size of the bottle there is a side pocket that could hold it but nothing specific for a water bottle.

Yes. I have a 24 oz Contigo water bottle, and it fits well in the side pockets.

Nope, not even close. I only use the side pocket for chapstick, pens, etc. Water bottles won't fit.

There is a pocket on the long side of the pouch. It is an open pocket and could hold a water bottle. My Dog likes this very much, glad I bought it.

I never used this pocket for water bottle,but you can put the 2 liter bottle.I don't know if this is comfortable ,but the pocket is big.

Not really. The pockets are slim and fitted so only hold relatively flat items.

There is not enough space to fit bottle and no other bulky object. The side pockets are used for thin objects such as Flash drives, plug adapter, cables, coins, papers

James, I have not tired a 32 oz bottle, but I can say the two pockets were worthless for the standard issue 16 oz water bottles. They fall out, or get popped out. The pockets are good for smaller soft items, like a pair of gloves or a small bag of snacks.

I would say yes, absolutely. I can fit wide sippy cups in the pockets, no problem. The pocket size is very generous.

Yes if you put them inside the bag...depending how much other stuff you put in the bag. For us the bag fits one pair of shoes (men's size 9), complete change of clothes, 1 large and 1 normal size towel. The side pocket is too small to carry a water bottle so we put it in the front pocket. Hope that helps.

No. For smaller water bottles I use the two side bottom slots. One that is intended for your phone/ipod. They wont close all the way but work good enough.

Yes the main compartment zippers shut. Yes, the side pockets r big enough for regular sized water bottles. The front pockets are very nice. They r insulated, deep and they magnetically button shut if there isn't a bottle in them. The bag is very nice and I highly recommend it.
