Adding water bottle holder to SG Avail

[foco15]

Curious if anyone has modified an Avail and added a sewn in water bottle- similar to what they have on their larger packs.

I like the look of the pack, but I prefer to have that option for a day/travel pack.

More work than it’s worth imho. I have the ability, have the pack, and it’s just not worth it to me. It’d be a really sweet mod, it’s just labor intensive to do it and do it right.

I just Carabiner it and deal.

Maybe someday when I have time…HA! I’ll try it. (Not happenin’!)

I don’t have an avail but do have a 5900 with water bottle sleeves attached to the sides of the pack, not on the hip belt. The avail looks like it would attach a water bottle sleeve the same. Does it have to be on the hip belt?

I also have the 5900, and that set up is what I was hoping to achieve, but maybe with a little deeper "pocket" for the water bottle/whatever else I want to stuff in there.

A pocket style similar to the Kifaru Shapecharge would be pretty sweet on an Avail- just to have the option rather than having to use a camalbak or stuff your nalgene within the pack.

I didn't even think of adding a hydro holster to the hip belt, that could work. However, when I have used that set up on my Kifaru, I did not like how the weight from the nalgene pulled my hip belt downwards.
