I just got my Baltoro 70 and noticed that there is no loop in the hydration sleeve to hang my Camelbak and no loop on the shoulder strap through which to run the hydration tube. Am I missing something? There was so much thought put into the fine details of this pack, how could this have been overlooked? Any suggestions on how to keep my Camelbak from sagging so the water flows properly?

The straps on the Baltoro attach to the padding via velcro. I simply slide my camelbak tube between the padding and the strap. It has worked out nicely for me.

Ray, These are two common complaints regarding this bag. Shoulder strap loop - Vince put up the link for the clip offered by backcountry, but Camelbak also makes a plastic clip that attaches pretty well to the shoulder strap. You should be able to find this clip for around $2 at most sporting good stores that carry camelbak products. My solution to attaching the bladder has been to just attach it directly to the bag for the bladder. It actually stays clipped on really well. The pics are both with my baltoro 70.

I've had the same questions; I fix the first one by filling my pack correctly to make sure the bladder doesn't kink... I know that doesn't help your question much, but I've never had an instance where I couldn't easily sip out all of my water. The second issue can be fixed with a tube trap http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/CamelBak-Tube-Trap/CAM0019M.html It fits right on the sternum strap of the pack, so it can be moved out of the way by unclipping that strap when you want to take your pack off. Not the perfect solution, but it has worked for me over a few years of use on this pack!
