How much internal storage space does the bag have not including the bladder? In cubic inches please & thank you!

Can't estimate the Cubic Inches. The area where the bladder occupies - has a large area below the bladder. You should remember to place articles at the bottom FIRST, then inflate the bladder (if you intend to do so). The outer compartments are typical, not alot of space. If you are going on day hikes - it is more than sufficient. Overnight, probably not my first choice. Hope that helps.

Hi,I can't answer that in cubic inches, but I must say I was disappointed with the size of the bag. The bladder part is awesome, but the bag seems small. I haven't tried filling it up yet, but it seems like less things would fit in it than in my Targus school backpack... I've also purchased this bagpack (Lowerpro Sport 200 AW) for my camera: http://www.amazon.ca/dp/B004XNLR16/ref=pe_386430_30332290_TE_3p_dp_1 and it has a bladder compartment but no bladder. However, the lowerpro seems to have more storage space than the geigerrig, even with the space taken by the camera pocket. So, if I were to do it again I would get the Lowerpro, and buy a separate bladder that I would install manually.All the best,Alex Hi,I can't answer that in cubic inches, but I must say I was disappointed with the size of the bag.

1600 cubic inches. I've used it for overnight hikes and love it. I purchased a tactical first aid pouch that goes on the outside, so it saves room for more items, such as food, clothing, hammock etc etc etc. The bottom compression straps are genius because you can add a bedroll or sleeping bag on the outside, again, saving space. Once you've packed it, then you fill the bladder. I have a virus filter, so I don't have to fill it all the way if I don't want to. It's really handy.

This is a 1600 Cu In. bag, overall storage space. However, given this has a 3L bladder, it can take up a decent amount of space in the main compartment. I have no problem fitting food, water, first aid, some clothing, and other supplies for a decent length day hike. However, like another comment stated, unless you are a true minimalist hiker, I wouldnt recommend this for overnight trips.

I am not sure in cubic inches but it is a good "day bag". Set of cloths, 2 pairs of socks and 3 MREs fit but it is snug.

Michael E. Anderson is correct. The product details section has it at 18" x 13" x 10". It has as many or more square inches of storage space than any other bag in the price range selling on Amazon. Construction is very good too. For the money I think you will be hard pressed to find a better bag. I am very pleased with mine.

The bladder is removable. I take it out to get a better clean up of the machine before I store it.

Yes there is a separate compartment for a bladder and there is a built in pack cover on the underside.

Yeah, there is a place for hydration bladders, but depending on the bladder it might be hanging out a bit at the top. I've got a 1 liter that hangs out. I think there is one made specifically for this bag, but it's got issues with leaking, supposedly. I hope that helps.

its fits perfectly in my goruck bullet ruck pocket. this bag: http://www.goruck.com/10l-hydration-bullet-black-/p/gear-000002goruck also says "Sized to hold a 3L hydration bladder in a separate compartment next to your back"their site says its got an "18″ tall compartment next to your back perfectly houses a Standard Source Hydration bladder, keeping it in place with a retention loop."Sorry im not home to actually look at it, but the 2.5L 7" by 17" HAS to be correct from what I received. Its definitely taller than a foot.

There's 14" of padding inside the bag. The bag is a little taller than that. Just buy them. The bags are perfect for anything that may leak and they are reusable. You will use them for something if you do any traveling at all. Besides, they're inexpensive, too.

NO there is not a dedicated space for a bladder . but you can put one in the upper portion of the backpack and feed the hose through the upper zipper pocket.

Not really. Without the bladder you get an extra pocket, but you won't be able to carry any traditional size textbooks.My wife used it for notebooks and smaller books. She says the only thing that doesn't fit are binders.

Pat B. The replacement bladder is approximately 3.75"D, 50.75"W and 71.50"L. It is smaller than my original bladder but fits fine. On my bed it sits in its own compartment top of the cloud coil compartment.

As far as I can see bladder fits in the conceal weapon compartment of the bag. I have two bladders but have yet to try to set them up on my Gear Slinger.

I used the camelback bladder for a backpacking trip into the Grand Canyon. It held up very well inside the internal pocket in the pack. I did not notice any moisture inside. The humidity in the Canyon was near zero. condensation could occur if the liquid was cold and the enviroment humid. Th Camelback Bladder after all is just a medium thickness plastic bag that would be vunerable to puncture. I wouldn't trust it with my unprotected electronics.

Not sure of the actual size, but I can easily fit my Camelbak Mil Spec short 3 Liter bladder in there.

I bought this bag approx. nine months ago - using my bag as the example the dimensions above are the internal main compartment - the external overall dimensions are 17 long X 11 Wide X 10 High -- When I purchased mine I had the same difficulty as to determining the actual size of the bag & I too used this forum. If you purchase this & find the bag is smaller than my external dimensions please let me know, I would like to have a smaller one. My last comment is that, in my opinion, this bag is very well made - Good Luck!

I've used mine daily for work for a year. It handles a heavy load and really takes a beating. The size accounts for every inch of storage space. It's about 30"+tall and 14"x14" square when packed. It has 3 large outside pockets and a medium size top pocket. It has straps on the bottom and bungee "mesh" on top. In my opinion it's a great bag for the price!

no Bladder...it says it right in the description when I bought mine from Black Star....I have sent several other people to them and I will buy from them again and again. Great gear and great company to order from!

It's not meant to be stored outside a bag. I don't think any bladder is, because that's what a Nalgene with a clip can do without tearing. If your pack doesn't have a hydration compartment, then you will have to make room for it in other compartments. Use common sense, buddy.
