3.3- Camel-bag 

GTO Light is set up for a camel-bak. Position the camel-bak in its special compartment inside the back pocket. Pass the hose through the special hole set 
indicated with a “H2O” logo, through which you can reach the red strap fixed inside the Lycra on the left side near the karabiner (as shown in the photos), 
where a second "H2O" logo is fixed.
