Internal versus external hydration sleeve:While the Sirrus 36 has an internal hydration sleeve, the Kyte 36 has an external one. An external hydration sleeve would be preferable for a couple of reasons. Having your hydration bladder on the outside of the main compartment means that your gear is protected from spills. If your hydration reservoir bursts, and external hydration sleeve will mean that your gear will stay dry. Also, an external hydration sleeve makes it easier for you to refill the reservoir. Want to make sure that you have enough space for all of your gear? And external hydration sleeve will not take up extra space within your main compartment, leaving room for more of your gear.
