For the Miami Messenger: Can the side water bottle pocket hold an 18oz stainless steel bottle (bigger &amp; heavier than a regular plastic water bottle)
745285
I have honestly never used the bottle pocket on mine. It's of sturdy mesh construction and about 6 1/2 inches deep and probably about 6 inches across when laid flat so it should hold a large bottle without a problem. I'm in the middle of moving so all my large metal water bottles are packed away in boxes. I had a 26oz canister of salt on hand that fit with room to spare and very little sagging on the bag. Hopefully this helps.

Yes, my bottle which holds about 20 oz. fits well. Anything about the diameter of a 12 oz soda can fits easily. A water bottle on each side will certainly add weight, but it will work.

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.

You've zeroed in on the only negative about this bag. It does not have a water bottle pocket at all. One side has a small felt lined pocket that has a depth of 4" and the other side has two individual pockets lined in polyester dot print, also 4" in . The bag is great but, you would have to put the water bottle inside and personally, bottles sweat and I wouldn't want my stuff insidegetting damp

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.

Yes, a standard water bottle would fit in either of the insulated pockets. Anything larger than a normal 16 oz would probably not.

Unfortunately not. On the outside there are 2 pockets on one side: one maybe for a cell phone, and another smaller one for small items (keys...). On the other side there is a fold for a tripod. But no pocket for a water bottle.

The pockets on the side are not large enough to hold a water bottle, unless it's tiny. The pockets are about 3" deep flat (with 3-d object depth ~2.5") and if you're really stuffing, you can fit something with a diameter of ~2.5". You would be able to fit the bottle inside the bag since the width of the bag is typically beyond the width of anything I carry(laptop-long ways, textbook size books, or a 3 ring binder), leaving room on the side for a water bottle

The front of the vest has 2 compartments that could hold a 20oz bottle though it would be tight. Also a rear compartment that could hold 24 to 36 oz bottle but no access unless you take off vest

I'm able to put a Nalgene 1L water bottle (sideways) in each pocket with room for snacks, keys, cell phone, wallet, and dog chews. I have the small size pack.

Just tried a 20 oz bottle of water and the holder was to big for it. We use them to hold our 24-26oz stainless steel thermos. Works great!

I don't think the side pockets can really hold bottles of water. The way the zipper wrap around the pocket, the weight of the water bottle makes the zipper unzip. But there are SO many other places to put water in the front pockets.

There's a zipper on the side, once you open the zipper there's a mesh pocket that you can pull out with an adjustable noose. This can hold your water bottle.

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.

Yes, there is a mesh pocket on the outside. I use it for my 16oz bottle of water.

I have yet to find a water bottle that will fit in the mesh sides. Even the smallest zephyr hills bottle won't quite fit.

A 16 ounce bottle will fit loosely but will not fall out. I use mine to carry an 18 ounce stainless steel water bottle and I am very satisfied with it.
