Hydration backpacks: the best solution for maintaining water balance

Among the large list of types of backpacks for sports, tourism and the military, we can separately note the options that allow you to stock up on water. Backpacks with a hydrator are extremely effective during training and during long hiking trips. They are equipped with special devices - hydrator systems, which make it possible to replenish the body's water balance at any time. And if assault backpacks are used mainly by the military, then these models have an extremely wide application in other areas.

What are hydration backpacks?

The systems included in backpacks consist of a reservoir that has a tube at the base. The volume of this reservoir can be any. The device fits inside a backpack, and drinking water is supplied using a special tube that is connected to the backpack. The features of such devices are as follows:

• They are made of soft and elastic material in a transparent format so that you can conveniently monitor cleanliness.

• Water supply tubes come in different lengths, with the longest option considered to be the more practical option.

• Manufacturers supply tanks with necks with a diameter of 2.5 and 3.5 inches, providing a comfortable choice for each user, depending on their needs.

In addition, drinking systems can have a cover or be without one.

How to choose the right backpack with a hydration pack

First of all, attention is drawn to the volume of the backpack. For short hikes, you can buy a hydration system with a volume of one and a half liters. For longer raids, a hydration backpack with a system of 3 liters or more will be well suited. When choosing a product for yourself, you should pay attention to the following points:

• ergonomics - a hydration backpack should be comfortable, not restrict movement and not hang behind your back;

• low weight - the shoulder bag itself should be light so as not to interfere with movement;

• ventilation - there must be air space between the back and the material for air circulation.

The backpack system should be made of a material that is waterproof and repels dirt. It is also important to have several additional pockets on it. In addition to shoulder straps, the product may have transverse straps that are fixed using snaps. Such a system is extremely convenient during intense movement, and the straps in the chest segment make it possible to correctly distribute the load on the back. No less important for the choice is the quality of the seams and the ability to adjust the product's straps. The color of the product is another important accent that is often paid attention to. A tactical backpack with a hydration pack is available to buyers in olive, blue, black, as well as cartoon, khaki, and coyote.
