Hi everyone,
I was browsing the store looking for a rucksack that'd be able to carry a good bit of weight (for weighted runs), along with a hydration bladder and hose but... I wasn't able to find one. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a rucksack like the one I'm describing?
Thanks for any help in advance.

Kelty Map 3500 will work for what you described. I have one and it is absolutely perfect. I hike, run, do pushups, everything with it. It will secure weight safely to your body, while carrying your hydration bladder in a secure pouch as well. Not only is the price really reasonable for the quality of the pack, my expectations were far exceeded once I began using it. A friend of mine also bought one, we both hike together using 25-50 pounds, he was a former Marine, so he knows a good pack when he sees it. This is definitely a pack you should consider, and it is in the NavySEALs.com store. The Blackhawk bladders are a great match with it because unlike the Camelbaks, the Blackhawk bladders have a special and secure disconnect system, and it will never leak, even when the drinking tub is taken off.

Just curious,
Does anyone have any experience with the BlackHawk X-3 R.A.P.T.O.R. Pack? I'm wondering how much weight it'd be able to handle... looks quite nice.

I have had 65 pounds in Kelty MAP and Blackwater would be comparable to the Kelty. You can not go wrong with either of them. I have tons of experience with packs and the MAP is extremely good.
Get a 100 ounce bladder

I have the camel back BFM. Anyways it is basically like a 3 day pack with a bladder it has adjustable straps and a padded belt strap as well. I really like this pack at times I wish it were bigger but it would be a great pack for a rucksack. It is also set up to use in the field with a radio, and on the inside it is lined with straps to secure your gear on the inside. I paid just over a 100 at a PX on a Army base.
