You're more than welcome! Yes Kurt's customer service and "follow through" has been exceptional. It's what convinced me to purchase a SG pack!
Aloha!

There are a couple loops inside the top of my 7400 sky on the frame side. I use a small 1" caribiner in the left loop and then hang my bladder from that. Not sure that is what they are intended for, but works for me and easy to take in and out.

Just tried to put my water bladder between the frame and bag again and it for sure "bows" into my back.

Maybe I'm just over sensitive to it or something, but looks like I'm gonna be running the bladder inside the bag.

Anyone else have issues with the frame when the bladder is between the frame and pack?

I spoke with Kurt about what he does and in the process I dropped the water bladder all together. Based on his recommendation I now use two of the Vapur water bottles in my pack, then use the Stone Glacier Hydro holster to hold a 20oz CamelBak bottle.

I heading to the field this wekend and will take some pictures of how I use this. It worked VERY well on my Sheep Hunt this year. I don't miss the bladder at all, no hoses, no big bulky bladders. Much better solution for me.

I use a vapur eclipse during the last week of archery season. I really like not having to unscrew a hose to fill the bladder. They also seem very tough!

Had one of these laying around from a trade show and decided to do some tinkering

Cut a handle loop in half and it slides perfectly into the stone glacier's tri slide attachment. I use a 2 liter platypus hoser and it fits inside the bag nicely. Best of all the camp bags still attach and sit perfectly over the bladder/bag. No complaints and I've been running it for a couple of months. The bag weighs virtually nothing too.

I put my water bladder in one of the two spotting scope pockets that I've attached to my Solo pack. Will always use a bladder with the tube, otherwise I don't drink like I should and get dehydrated. Also love being able to connect my Hiker Pro filter directly to the drink tube to fill it back up. Takes less than a minute.

I do the same with my 7400. Tried strapping my 4L msr bladder to the outside of the pack with the compression straps which worked ok.

Don't mind the idea of a couple 1L vapour bottles and the hydro holster.
