Hello.

Have you tried to use a Camelbak with the Maxpedition Falcon I backpack?

I’ve tried it and this is the problems that I’ve found:

1 – The Falcon backpack has a pocket made for a 70 oz. hydration system. I’ve used the 70 oz. Camelback Unbottle, but the Camelbak is bigger than Falcon’s pocket and exceeds his length.

2 – When you get full of water the Camelbak it takes a cylindrical shape. The pocket where the Camelbak fits in the Falcon is the nearest to your back, and the feeling is the same as if you are carrying a 5 inch diameter pipe over you backbone, making the backpack uncomfortable.

Maybe using a flat and rigid surface between the camelback and my own back, the feeling will be better, but I haven’t tried it by now.

Have you any suggestions?
