How big are the side pockets for water bottle use? 32oz Nalgene or just 16-20oz bottle water?

As long as the main part of the bag is not stuffed. Both meshed pockets on the side should fit 32 oz Nalgene bottles.

I was "able" to fit a 32oz nalgene in it. Its a tight fit, and since the pocket is narrower at the bottom, the bottle wouldn't enter the pocket fully. I'm sure with a bit more use it loosen up. But off the bat, it wasn't a perfect fit and snug, and found a 20oz bottle would fit nicely inside, and still be able to pull the strap to make it extremely snug, that bottle would not go anywhere. I carry a water bottle on me every day, and used to use a 32oz nalgene, but switched to two smaller nalgenes because I found it more balanced and a better fit. (a full 32oz nalgene will put the bag off balance).Short answer: yes it will fit a 32oz nalgene, not perfectly at first though I was "able" to fit a 32oz nalgene in it.

No problem! Also, for what it's worth: I have a contigo 24 oz bottle. That fits perfectly. I also have a camelbak same oz, but bottle is a little shorter and a little bit wider. The camelbak fits, but the zipper doesn't close as well.

I got the 48oz bottle, not sure about 32oz. It fits and didn't leak. Very good. Better than the original one.

I tried the Gatorade Sports Bottle and it fits just fine. It's 32 ounces and they sell it on Amazon if you want to check dimensions.

the pocket is big enough to fit a Gatorade bottle but it will be tight until you train the pocket for the size bottle.

The side pockets are not large enough to work with standard 1 liter water bottles- maybe something like the smallest size Fuji water bottle. It's definitely more a business travel pack than hiking! I own one.

The water bottle pockets are on the day pack and they're pretty shallow. The 32oz might fit width wise (maybe) but the bottle would surely continuously fall out (speaking from experience). If the water bottle has a loop on top from which you can attach a carabiner to secure to the bag then it might work otherwise I'd say no.

The front pockets can hold two bottles per pocket. I also use them for sunscreen and sippy cups. They are deep enough everything stays secure.

One side pocket is definitely big enough for a water bottle. The opening on the other side isn't as roomy but you might be able to get a bottle in there as long as it isn't too big around.

You can fit 2 water bottles per pocket. 3 inches, showing above, per bottle. Measured with - Zephyrhills - 100% Natural Spring Water - 23.7 fl oz. Thank-you.

The water bottle works best if it is a 20 oz cylindrical, smooth bottle (i.e. like Smart Water bottles). They fit snuggly. The 16 oz bottles are just a little loose.

medium works with some extra space enough for a piece of fruit or chips. a bottle of water fits in outer side pocket. If you plan to carry much more you may want to step up to large. I haven't had the need.

Yes it will hold 32 oz. bottle in expandable mesh pocket. It is quite water resistant not waterproof. Sheds drizzle and light rain well.

Yes - there is an lower outside mesh side pocket that is designed for a bottle

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.

It will hold 16.9 water or a 32oz Gatorade bottle but I don't have a 24oz water bottle to see if its fits.

For me it would be a bigger than that, but not necessarily by much if you include shoes. There are sides for water bottles but I actually use the matching Osprey bladder and fill that with ice and it has been great on vacations, long walks, hikes, etc...
