The Most Comprehensive Tactical Hydration packs Guide

What is a hydration pack?

A hydration pack is a specialized backpack or bag designed to carry water in a reservoir (also known as a bladder) and includes a hose that allows the user to drink hands-free while on the move. It’s more than just a simple water carrier. They are popular for activities like hiking, biking, and running.

Type of hydration packs

1. Hydration-compatible backpacks

Tactical hydration-compatible backpacks have a dedicated compartment or sleeve designed to hold a hydration bladder.

This compartment is usually located inside or behind the main compartment of the backpack.
These backpacks have openings or ports near the top of the shoulder straps or along the sides to route the drinking tube.

Some backpacks come with built-in clips or straps to help hold the hydration tube in place, preventing it from bouncing around while on the move.

These hydration backpacks come with all the standard features of a tactical backpack, except that they also have ports and clips to accommodate a tube for easy access to the water inside the reservoir.

2. Hydration packs

Hydration packs are usually taller and not as wide. They also have channels and clips to accommodate a tube as well, and come with shoulder straps to be worn over the shoulders.

But these kinds of packs usually can’t fit much gear. Beyond the hydration bladder, they usually have pouches for small items such as snacks, cell phones, keys, or a first aid kit.

Please note that when buying a hydration pack or a hydration-compatible backpack, the bladder is typically not included and you need to purchase it separately.

In short, hydration packs are smaller and mainly for carrying water with minimal extra storage, while hydration backpacks are bigger and can carry both water and more gear for longer activities.

Uses of Tactical hydration packs

Hydration packs are widely used for military and law enforcement operations, outdoor activities, sports, physical training, and more. Their adaptability to various activities makes them a reliable companion.

Benefits of using a tactical hydration pack

A hydration pack excels in the following aspects.

Hands-free hydration: With the bite valve positioned near your mouth, you can drink water without interrupting your activities and rummaging through your pack. It’s particularly beneficial during activities such as long-running, cycling or hiking.

Improved performance: By ensuring a constant and convenient supply of water, a tactical hydration pack contributes to sustained energy levels, focus, and overall well-being during the activities. Staying hydrated enhances both physical and mental performance.

Temperature control: Some tactical backpacks have insulation around the hydration reservoir, which helps keep water cool in hot weather or avoid freezing in cold conditions.

Components of a hydration bladder

There are many types of tactical gear you can find with a dedicated compartment or pocket for holding hydration bladders, including tactical backpacks, plate carriers, chest rigs, tactical belts, and more.

Hydration bladder: A hydration bladder, also referred to as a hydration reservoir or water bladder, is typically made of TPU(Thermoplastic Polyurethane). It can hold different capacities of water ranging from 1 to 3 liters or more. The bladder often has a screw-on or slide-seal cap for easy filling and cleaning.

Hose (or tube): The bladder is connected to a drinking hose that extends from the inside of the pack to the wearer’s mouth. The hose is usually routed through a port in the bag for easy access.

Valve (or bite valve): With the bite valve at the end of hose, the user can drink water without needing to stop and remove the reservoir from the bag. The bite valve is designed to prevent leaks and can be opened or closed by biting down on it.

Choosing the right size of hydration bladder

The choice of capacity depends on how much water the user needs and the duration and intensity of the activity. For example, 1.5-liter bladders are sufficient for short outings, while bladders of 3 liters or more are more suitable for extended trips. Choose a size that meets your hydration needs without being too heavy.
Pay attention to the size of the hydration bladder compartment. Ensure that it can accommodate your chosen bladder size.

Proper cleaning and maintenance of the hydration bladder

Materials you may need include:
mild dish soap, warm water, a long-handled brush, a small brush, a long spring wire brush, a drying sack, etc.

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to clean the hydration bladder.

Step1 Empty the reservoir and disassemble the components
Empty the water bladder and remove the drinking tube, bite valve, and any other detachable components.

Step2 Rinse thoroughly and scrub the interior
Rinse the water bladder and its components with warm water to remove any dirt or residue. Then, fill the bladder with warm water, add a few drops of mild dish soap, and use a long-handled brush to scrub the interior of the bladder thoroughly to keep out any bacteria or mold.

Step 3 Clean the drinking tube and the bite valve
Use a long spring wire brush to clean the inside of the drinking tube. Insert the brush into one end of the tube and work it to the other end. Make sure that no mold or residue is left inside.
Use a small brush to clean the interior of the bite valve, and rinse thoroughly.

Step 4 Air dry and reassemble
Air dry all the components completely. Hang the bladder upside down to ensure that all moisture drains out. You can place the drinking tube and the bite valve on a drying rack for air circulation.
After all components are dry, reassemble the water bladder. Make sure that everything is well attached.

Step 5 regular maintenance and storing properly
Check the water bladder regularly for any signs of wear and tear, such as leaks or damaged parts. Replace them promptly to maintain the functionality.
When not in use, store the reservoir and the components in a clean and dry place to prevent the growth of mold or bacteria.

Conclusion

Proper hydration is crucial, especially during physically demanding activities. Whether you opt for a dedicated hydration pack or a hydration-compatible backpack, the key is to choose a solution that aligns with your activities and preferences.

Staying hydrated is not just about satisfying your thirst; it’s about improving your overall outdoor experience. With these hydration solutions, you can keep moving and fully enjoy your adventure.

FAQs

How much water can a hydration pack hold?

Hydration packs typically range from 1 to 3 liters in capacity. Longer activities or hotter climates require larger capacities.

Can I put other liquids in my hydration pack?

It's best to use only water in hydration bladders to avoid mold and bacteria growth. Sugary or alcoholic beverages can damage the bladder and are harder to clean.

Should I use a hydration pack or bottle?

It depends. Choose a hydration pack for longer, more intense activities like running, biking, or hiking, where hands-free hydration is key. Water bottles carry only water and hold less. They are suitable for shorter activities or ease of maintenance.

Are hydration packs good for you?

Yes, hydration packs are good for maintaining hydration conveniently during activities, especially outdoor sports, without interrupting your movement.

Are hydration packs leak-proof?

Most are designed to be leak-proof, but it's important to ensure the hose and bladder connections are secure. Regular maintenance and checks can prevent leaks.

How long does a hydration bladder last?

With proper care and cleaning, a hydration bladder can last several years. Replace it if you notice any leaks or bad tastes, or if the material starts to degrade.

Do hydration packs keep water cool?

Some hydration packs have insulated reservoirs to keep water cool, but most do not actively cool the water. The water can gradually warm up to the surrounding temperature over time.
