What can you say?
I wanted a bag small enough to carry my daily items yet not too large to be over bearing. It's big enough to carry my son's ipad and a few litre bottles of water. Being so small you can hardly feel the weight when you put it on.
I haven't, tried a water bladder buy i think one up to 3L would fit just fine.
Would buy again and definately from sunnysports. This is my second order from them and never had any issues.
Well-designed and well-made daypack

I was interested in trying to lighten up my daypack as I tend to take everything under the sun on hikes. I have an Osprey Stratos 24 (no longer made) that I really love, but I wanted something lighter and smaller and simpler. The Deuter Speed Lite 20 really delivers all that and more. It is very light--just over a pound, so in addition to working well as a daypack, it would be great as a summit pack when backpacking. I chose the Deuter for several reasons:
The shoulder straps are burly...--as burly as a much larger pack. Most of the ultralight packs have very thin shoulder straps and when carrying a fairly heavy load can become very uncomfortable. The Speed Lite 20 has the heaviest duty shoulder straps of any in that class I checked out. It is very very comfortable on the trail.
It has side compression straps that can loop around so that you can use the pack to carry snowshoes, skis, a jacket, etc. Nice feature for an ultralight pack.
The stuffit pocket on the back is well-thought out and holds items securely.
Side mesh pockets for water bottles, etc (also fits a bladder).
This is a simple, elegant, yet feature-rich ultralight daypack. I highly recommend it.

I have a speedlite 20. Haven't tried it with a 3 liter bladder, but I know it fits a 2 liter for sure.

This pack includes side mesh pockets that will allow quick access to energy food or drink bottles, but isn't designed for a water bladder. Enjoy it! Zack.
