Side Effect Storage

[prach138]

Hello,

I'm trying to figure out if a Side Effect bag can fit a Nalgene 32oz bottle or equivalent. Anyone out there with a Side Effect want to give it a shot? Thanks in advance!

It doesn’t. It will fit in a Side Kick, but only on its side.

Thanks for sharing! Do you find that the Side Kick is too bulky when the canteen in there?

I think it's too bulky. It takes up about half of the volume of the bag and the side pockets are useless. I think it would be better to size up to an LGD, Cafe Bag, or Icon. Here's a pic of the LGD; there's lots of room left but the bottle is too tall to stand upright. The bottle will fit upright in the Cafe bags and Icon but I no longer own any of these bags so I can't take a pic, sorry.

You might be able to fit it in a grab bag (if that's all you're trying to carry). Unfortunately I don't have a 32 oz nalgene to test it with, or else I'd check and let you know.

It does fit into a Grab Bag, but doesn’t leave too much room; maybe a wallet, phone, keys, but that’s about it.

FWIW, when I carry a Side Kick, I carry the smaller 16oz Nalgene, which leaves room for more stuff
