Poacher serves up the goods...but

The poacher has been working real well as a extended tour backcountry ski pack - with enough room for me to stash all my safety gear as well as food and layers. My only gripe, is that the left shoulder strap hydration tube sleeve is a bit small for my 90 degree outlet spout, and there is no "hanging system" to support the hydration bladder inside the pack. I've rigged a string between the two back supports to hang the bladder from, but a dedicated hook or loop would be better - (like DaKine has done in the "Blade Runner" pack).

There actually is a hanger for the bladder! Its a sleeve that rolls down, its tucked under a flap in the top.
