You can look into what F-Stop offers.

I don't know what you consider to be bulky, but perhaps the smallest Lowepro Pro Trekker (300) AW ? It has a hydration-ready side pocket etc...

water and cameras don't always mix. I would use a water bottle mount on my bike and a separate backpack for my camera.

These may be just what you're looking for....

Please give us a quick review of what you purchase. I know I'm interested.

You might benefit from converting a real backpack into a gear pack.

Lowepro Dryzone Rover...totally waterproof camera gear pod, with a roomy upper compartment for extra items, as well as the included hydration bladder. Bladder is only 100ml, but you can replace it with a larger one if you find the need. Not sure if you might consider it too big or not...just thought I'd bring it up. I use one myself.

What I got from this:
Pic 1 - Nice shoe. :lol:
Pic 2 - Watching Lifetime.
Pic 3 - NIKON! :shock:

Hmm, I might have to investigate one of these too. When I take my Camelback, I can only fit a camera with the one lens attached.

Wow! That holds a lot of gear.

How is the camera gear seperated from the bladder? I've never had a bladder break open, but I'm thinking of those days where condensation builds up on the bladder with cold water in it and drips.
