Abstract

A hydration system is described, including a pouch for storing fluid, a flexible conduit connected to the pouch for delivering fluid to the user, and a rotatable port structure connected to both the conduit and the pouch, the port structure having at least two components connected in a moveable joint structure about a first axis of rotation--a surface mount receiver mounted to the surface of the pouch and an outlet connector that is rotatably connected to the surface mount receiver in a watertight arrangement. A quick connect apparatus may also be attached to the outlet connector for quickly connecting and disconnecting the conduit from the port structure and providing a second axis of rotation.
