Which water bottle solution would you prefer? External, or internal?
External Pros
- Doesn't take up space in main compartment
- Better in case of a leak
External Cons
- Cannot make the backpack a full clamshell opening
- Doesn't look as sexy
- Less streamlined (you will get caught on things)
Internal Pros
- Better look
- Just as accessible (via zipper)
- Will have it's own separate compartment with water proof lining (in case of a leak)
Internal Cons
- Takes up space in main compartment
- Waterproof lining can possibly get a hole in it, so internal leaks are possible
