When you've brought one layer more for insurance, the midsized North Face Hammerhead Hydration Backpack has a convenient back bungee stash for quick access. You could stuff it in the large main compartment or secondary compartment that has a front stash sleeve, try to slip it in between the internal organizer, or even stick it in the generous side stretch woven pockets, but the bungee is where it belongs. Oh, and you could also take out the 100ounce reservoir 100oz Nalgene reservoir to make room there, but you wouldn't want to leave home without liquid just for another layer, or would you?
Agree with hose problem
I've had this pack for over a year and the hose will not stay connected unless you're staying still. Forget running or any rough hiking with it unless you have a different bladder in it. TNF should really address this problem. Other than that, the rest of the pack is comfortable and roomy and light.
Great Pack!
After thoroughly looking at similar packs from Camelback I chose the North Face. The reservoir is much easier to remove the pack and clean. Also, the overall design is great and I really like the magnetic mouthpiece keeper. Lots of room for equipment and easy to access in the pack.
