Will the hydration pocket hold an osprey...

Will the hydration pocket hold an osprey 3L bladder? I won't need to fill it up, but that's what I have.

It will fit, and as you know the more water you put in the less room for other things.

This pack does it all! I wanted an all-around pack that could also accommodate my splitboarding habit, and this pack is perfect. It took some explorations to get familiar with all the different pockets and features of this unique design, but now I love it. The main compartment opens from the back, which is great in snowy, dusty or sandy conditions. I'm amazed at how much stuff this pack can hold - I took it backpacking around Mexico for 10 days - but it still has the look and feel of a technical daypack. The external straps make it possible to strap just about anything to the outside that you can't fit inside. I highly recommend!
Great pack for hiking, not great on lift

I got this pack three years ago and have used it in several different ways on the hill and off.
First like all osprey packs this is very well constructed from a materials and workmanship point of view. It is definitely inline with the usual osprey quality you would expect.
I found that actually strapping on skis required a little bit of dexterity that my gloves would not allow. So i often found myself having to take off my gloves to strap them on. However, the frame is very nice and the skis felt very well supported on my back. Hiking up with the pack and skis felt very comfortable. Not to mention that rear entry is really convenient when your board or skis are on.
Downside: I found this pack a little inconvenient on the lift. The design of the pack is such that the all your gear falls to the bottom of the pack where there are no compression straps. So you end up with a big bulge on your lower back. This means it feels a little bulky and you have to take the pack off each time you get on a lift, unlike smaller packs like the Karve.
Finally, the pack is full of nice little feature like place to tie helmet, goggle pouch, hydration tubing in the shoulder strap, separate compartment for baldder ...
I'm 181 cm 165 Lbs and got a large. It fits just right when I have all my ski clothing on but is a tad large when i have just a small soft shell on. Nothing too crazy, still feels comfy, but i feel like i am in between the medium and large.
I would recommend this pack for those that are going out of bounds, backcountry, or long hiking to reach that untouched pow!
I would not recommend as a resort pack where you won't be strapping your skis on it that much (consider a smaller more streamlined pack in this case, Karve 11-16?)
awesome pack

I've used this pack down hill skiing now for two years with zero complaints. Its big enough for all your back country avy gear and essentials but straps down nice and tight when you don't need to carry to much. Its very comfortable,easy to access your gear and the side pockets on the hip belt are great for snacks. Hydration sleeve in the shoulder strap works great as well. I would recommend this pack to anyone. I am a day pack freak and am always looking for the perfect pack and I think I found it with this one. I'm climbing Mt. Shasta and skiing west bowl down soon and I know this pack will serve me well.
Best ski pack ever?
Evan Stevens

Hands down this is the best ski pack I have ever used for touring. I use it for non-technical, and lightly technical day touring for work, as I backcountry ski guide 100 days a year, putting this pack through the wringer. Excellent ski carry, great organization of snow tools, goggles, helmet and the rest of your gear. It carries like a dream, fitting so close and tight, you don't even notice it is there. Back panel opening is awesome, keeps you organized and snow free. Durability is top notch as well. Really I can't say enough good things about this pack. The only negative would be I wish it could somehow be made a touch lighter, but then you would probably lose some features. In my mind you can't go wrong with this pack!

This is another comfortable, lightweight, and well designed Osprey pack. The snowshed back panel really does shed snow, so when I set my pack down for lunch or whatever, it brushes right off. The variety of gear specific pockets are great for backcountry skiing/boarding, but I routinely repurpose the pack for airplane or gym travel. Seems as bombproof as any other Osprey pack I have, which means it should last through years of abuse. The internal wire frame is a little stiff, and I notice that it hits my helmet when I tuck down real tight and have my head craned all the way back. As someone else mentioned, the unclipping of the shoulder straps to access the back panel is an extra step, but it seems a necessary part of having all the other awesome features the pack has. Overall, really functional and wearable pack and I plan on using it for all my medium size backpack needs.
Can you ever go wrong with an Osprey?

This is a good all around side country and resort pack. I've used to for day tours and back country skiing. It holds the essentials- probe, down layer, extra gloves, water, etc. The shovel pocket is too small for my black diamond D7, so I have to use the snowboard carry. However it works well with Ortovox shovels and I would imagine the BD D3 would fit. Both diagonal and vertical ski carry are bomber on this thing. Perhaps the most stable I've used yet. The A frame ski carry is also wide enough for the fat skis. (I've carred my Volkl Chopsticks in the A Frame, which are 148-128-148). The separate dry pocket is really nice when you're putting wet skins for gloves in there and you don't want to soak everything. The helmet carrier is pretty neat, but it doesn't work so well with my Giro G10Mx, but I wouldn't expect it to. Overall a great pack that is definitely suited for the backcountry.
Great Pack

So far I've only used it for resort days and a few side country laps. It holds all my avy gear well and still has room for lunch for my family and extra coat, gloves, goggles etc.
It fits nice and close to my back so i barely notice I'm wearing it. The back entry is great, although needing to unclip the shoulder straps to open the back panel is a bit annoying.

I have had nothing but good experiences with this pack. I am able to fit my shovel (Mammut Alugator Expert Shovel 3-piece), probe, spare parts for my split-board, water, food, extra layers, and goggles into this pack with room to spare. The helmet carry adapter works great. While I haven't found a pack yet that has a designated pole carrying system for splitboarders, this pack has a number of options for strapping those pesky poles down on the descent. I'm into my second season with this thing and it is still going strong.
Awesome pack

I use this mainly for resort riding (don't get many chances to backcountry). It has plenty of space for extra layers, first aid kit, and tuning kit. It definitely balances the load well on your body, so even with a full water bladder, you hardly notice that it's even there.
In addition, I use this as a daily commuter backpack and it fits everything I need as well. I put a laptop, ipad and a folio along with accessories. The back panel opening IS a little narrow for all this junk, but it isn't that much of a big deal. It balances the weight of the load really well; it feels amazingly light for the amount of weight I put in it.
