hydration system

Portable drinking apparatus

A hydration system is a hands-free water container designed for outdoor activities—typically a flexible reservoir with a drinking tube worn in a backpack.

Hikers, cyclists, and soldiers use hydration systems to drink without stopping: I filled my hydration system before the trail run.

The term also applies to any organized approach to maintaining fluid intake.
