It's mostly black apart from some camo reflective silver detailing. Looks good and useful when running in the night.

It's basically black, but close up it has two tones of black in a sort of camoflage pattern. Forget the colour it's a great sac.

Question
Does this come with a bladder?
If not, what bladder compatable features does this product have?

No bladder - but the camelback ones fit fine.
There's a pocket for the bladder and a hole for the tube to exit, also loops on the straps rather like a camelback sac. Seems to work fine.

My 3L Camelbak fits fine and there are retaining clips inside the top of the rucksack, as well as a pocket in to which the reservoir can be slotted. The fluid is then effectively next to your skin because there is no padding and acts as both a cushion and an insulator (once you've warmed it up/cooled it down - depending on ambient conditions!)

You need to get an Inov-8 bladder, and i believe its fits to the top of the bag...

is it completely 100% waterproof?

No idea but very likely not waterproof, as waterproofing is often achieved with a second cover over the bag. Not sure I can think of any 100% waterproof bags except for Ortleib, which are relatively heavy.

Mine has thrown off some heavy showers but nothing with a zip is going to be immersion waterproof. Very light and comfortable though.

What is the back like? Is it padded or free flow so it sits off your back?

Neither - no padding and it sits on your back

answer 2
No padding - just lightweight fabric so you need to be careful when packing so you don't have something sticking in your back!
There's a pocket for a 2litre-ish water bladder though so you could use this or sub in something to pad the back out.
It sits flush with the back but found it's 1kg lighter than my 20l freeflow so isn't much different on the back

Backpack not padded, very lightweight. If you put your clothes there - it's enough padding. It does fit around you very well once all straps are connected. Very comfortable for both running and cycling.

Question
Water bottle holder attachment
I have just bought this pack and two Inov-8 water bottle holders. However, I cannot see how they attach securely to the pack.
Yes, the Velcro wraps around the shouler straps but I do not see how the other two straps on the water bottle holder can be attached to this pack. As it currently stands, the water bottle will simply slide/bounce up and down the strap as I run. It doesn't look as though these two products are compatible!

The straps in bottom and top makes a loop around to small straps on the shoulder straps.
I have modified it a bit by stabling the loops to the shoulder straps for even less "bounce" ...
