Whether you are an
athlete, a running enthusiast, or an outdoor adventure buff, there
are handy
accessories available to keep you hydrated. Liquid carriers like
hydration packs are made for people who are always on the go. You no
longer have to put up with the inconvenience of using handheld water
bottles or heavy backpacks.
The demand for
convenient outdoor accessories, especially those paraphernalia for
running and cycling, continue to increase as more and more people
engage in such activities. Water is one of the necessities as
maintaining hydration is essential to performance, so a reliable and
hassle-free way to transport and utilize or refill water (hydration
system) is a must-have. Hydration packs are now the much preferred
means to store not just liquid but also other supplies like food,
first aid kit, and extra clothes.
A hydration pack is a
hydration system, first commercially introduced to cyclists, that
comes in the form of a lightweight, easily adjustable, and
comfortable backpack or waist/belt pack. It typically has a water
reservoir, also called a bladder, made from either plastic or rubber
that allows the wearer a hands-free means to drink water through a
hose. Many high quality hydration backpacks are insulated and
automatically adjust to the wearer’s and the water’s temperature.
Considering the many
benefits of a well-designed hydration pack, and the increasing number
of applications (e.g. outdoor recreational activities, military
exercises) and users, it is no longer a surprise why the portable
hydration system industry is currently on the rise.
