Abstract
Waist-mounted hydration systems that include a fluid reservoir, an elongate drink tube that extends from the reservoir and terminates at a mouthpiece from which a user can draw drink fluid from the reservoir, and a pack that houses the reservoir. The pack is secured around a user's waist by a waist strap assembly. In some embodiments, the waist strap assembly provides a continuous strap that extends around the user's hips and abdomen, and which may be free from rigid body-contacting components. In some embodiments, the hydration system includes a reservoir compression assembly. In some embodiments, the hydration system includes a waist strap assembly that, upon tightening of the strap assembly, is configured to initially apply compression to the reservoir and subsequently to shorten the length of the strap assembly around a user's waist. In some embodiments, the free ends of the waist strap(s) extend from behind a user.
