Water Bottle-Kifaru Pack

[PABowhunter]

My BT1 will be here tomorrow. Although I use bladders, I'd like to carry a Nalgene or other bottle. I've used the mesh lower side pockets on other packs. Any suggestions for attached a bottle to the pack, other than the KU carrier offered by Kifaru? Thanks!

1L bottles fit in large belt pouches, nalgene, Gatorade etc. I use one of my pouches for a Gatorade bottle and my water filter .

Thanks guys. Rambler, do you attach the large belt pouches to the bottom side of the pack, or to the waistbelt? I thought they would be too big for the waistbelt.

 

[TheRambler]

I put them on the bottom sides of the pack. I only have a small pouch on the waist belt.

I feel like Im missing something. Whats wrong with the ku bottle pockets?

 

[TheRambler]

IMO they are not secure and bounce a good bit, and they can only fit a water bottle, the cost is high for what it is . Would rather have a belt pouch personally.

You can get 6 1L bottles in a large belt pouch. They're noisy as hell though.

I assume this would work with the webbing on the waste belt or wrap around the waste belt. They cinch down nice. Cheaper and less ugly than the KU one IMO.

Heres a thread on a few.

I use an ITS bottle holder. Heres a link http://www.itstactical.com/store/hydration/its-skeletonized-bottle-holder//

Its light, easy to get your bottle in and out, 1 handed. Works on pals webbing or the little loops on the HC bags. Works even better tucked in your belt. Its adjustable too.

I think I am going to use the MR holder also since I already own it and didn't want to pay for the Kifaru. I had it on my bikini belt and seems to work out just fine.

I got a bottle holster from Hill People Gear. Its made to fit a standard 16 oz bottle, so it'd be too small to accomodate a wide mouth Nalgene. But my 21 oz.. CamelBak Podium CHILL bottle fits perfectly snug in this holster. I use that bottle for flavo-mixes to keep the bladder from gettin' funked up with sugary crap.

HPG holster weighs 3 oz, cost $15, and attaches to the Molle on the Bikini's waistbelt with ease...

Thanks guys; ITS holder is on order.

How do you get 6 liter in that pocket?
Do you mean 6 smaller 1/2 liter bottles?
