[#3360548]

I'm looking for a 3L hydration pack with enough room for a waterproof jacket, some tools, spare batteries and a couple of first aid items.

Will the above accommodate this?

If not, what have you got that will?

Fanks.

Certainly looks like it should.

Camelbak Octane XCT - I had similar requirements. Bit of a squeeze but it will all fit in.

I've got a North Face Animas 12 and cary everything you have identified plus room for some sandwiches. 3L Source bladder, similar storage capacity to the Charge 450 (but no waist belt pockets) and a little bit heavier at 680g. However, the increased weight is because the fabric is higher density than the Camelback so a bit more robust. And a bit cheaper if you shop around. Happy with mine.

I've just bought a Camelbak HAWG NV 20 from Merlin which seems perfect for what you've said needs to fit into it.
It's expensive at RRP £100 but with all the various discounts (normal discount + VIP) including a 24 hour extra 10% off I got one for £68 posted.

Seems a quality piece of kit with loads of great features.
