How much does this stick out on the back? I use a low profile camelback and fear the combo will make me look like quisimoto and have me falling off chairlifts.

The VPD pad is about 1.75 - 2 inches in thickness. When it warms to your body temp, it will conform to fit your natural spinal/rib cage curvature. This keeps the 'hump-back' look at a minimum. However, with the addition of a camelback & bladder, you will most likely have that 'Quasimodo' look. Probably won't be enough to make ya fall off the chairlift, though. haha POC did just release a new Spine VPD vest that is co-branded with Hydrapak and has a removable bladder built in, but I don't know if it is available for retail just yet.
