hey I've had this badlands 2200 for quite a few years now and i love it! well except for the fact that i cannot find a bladder that small to fit in badlands crappy little compartment! kind of a poor design. anyone know of a place to find a bladder small enough to work? the pouch is roughly 8"x8".
 
You can use a Platypus 1-liter. I just throw my 3-liter in the main bag. I love the 2200, but BL if you are listening put a normal bladder sac, 2-belt sizes and usable side pockets. Can't be that hard????
 
bugs n bullets has the 95 oz bladder that fits perfect in the 8x8 compartment.
 
There is a little hook near the top of that interior pocket that I use to hook onto the top of a standard Camelbak bladder. I have 3 camelback bladders and they all hook into it just fine except the 3 liter sometimes falls off the hook, I think because its heavier and the plastic on the bladder bends enough for it to fall off. The bladder just kinda hangs in the main compartment, and has never been a problem.
My badlands is an older one but I'm pretty sure the new ones still have the hook.
 
Yoyak is right, most of the new versions still have this hook in the bladder compartment. I've been trying to get Badlands to put two hooks in there that will line up with the holes in the top of their bladders, but they haven't changed them yet. The compartments are designed for the bladder to just lay in there loose. Seems to work ok that way but I like to have mine supported to prevent kinks.
 
I'd have to agree on the 95oz bladder from badlands at bugsnbullets.com they are actually the bladder that the 2200 is designed to fit.
