The Transformer is made up of three different sections/pouches first there's the smaller of the three pouches, this pouch is well suited for a medium sized FAK. This pouch also has a mini pocket separated by a mesh section accessible from the outside via a zipper.
On to the second pouch, it consists of 2 sections in one pouch, these sections can be used for electronics, packable clothing etc. You'll notice I said packable clothing, if rolled correctly you could get 2 pairs of shirts and pants in the larger of the two sections. This section is also expandable to a degree.
The smallest of the two sections is idea for pens, electronics, pocket notebooks etc. This is where I keep my PSP, games, spare batteries and related items.
Finally on to the third section, which is not really a storage section for gear but where the hydration reservoir goes. Since its spring I removed the bladder, this section would make a nice place to put a book or an ultra slim computer.
Threes a zipper located on both lower sides of the pack that let you access a compartment inside the bag, this is a nice place to put a long knife, collapsible baton, cuffs, ammo clips.
On the bottom of the Transformer you will find a zippered pocket which you find youre rain cover. However if you need more space just put the rain cover in a different section of the pack.
If you re so inclined you could use the on board MOLLE attachments to increase your storage capacity almost twofold.
Also included with the Transformer is a reversable heavy duty rain cover, one side is signal orange and the other side is Desert camo with the Camelbak logo. Recently during a medium rainstorm I didnt put the cover on the pack and none of the contents of the back were wet.
In conclusions although the Camelbak isn't my ultimate EDC bag its very close to it and comes highly recommended.

hello, i have a few questions i am hoping you might be able to answer.
Do you know what the internal measurement of the bladder section is? I am thinking i would really like this bag to double as a laptop daypay when im not using for treking, and from what i can see it looks it would fit, but its an expenive bag to order if it doesnt..
I have tried emailing camelbak but have not received any responses.
also i am a bit confused by your photos, where you have inside the 3rd pouch, is that just bladder section, or is there a second section to the main pack area?
if you could help me out, it would be awesome.
my email is doe@tokyo2064.com
cheers

HAHA My name is Sims too! Are you in the Army? I'm in the Marines.
If anyone is still interested...
The dimensions of the main cargo pock of this bag are about 10" wide by 15" tall but the top tapers in about 10 inches from the bottom; 3" deep and tapering in about 2 inches. To put this into perspective, if you put a single piece of US letter sized paper, it would fit. an A4 sized paper would have the top corners bent, and a us legal sized paper is right out. a small clip board can be placed inside, but a three ring binder ain't gonna happen.
793 cu in SHOULD be enough to house a binder and a clip board, but in this configuration... well, lets just hope that the order you put in for 15 was denied and only 4 came in.
I would not recommend this bag for laptops, or anyone who feels that carrying a clipboard is necessary for his or her job.
Thanks for a very interesting blog. What else may I get that kind of info written in such a perfect approach? I’ve a undertaking that I am simply now operating on, and I have been at the look out for such info.
