| 词条 | Hydration pack |
| 释义 |
A hydration pack is a type of hydration system built as a backpack or waistpack containing a reservoir or "bladder" commonly made of rubber or flexible plastic. The reservoir contains a capped mouth for filling with liquid and a hose that allows the wearer to drink hands-free. Most hoses end with a "bite valve" that opens when the user bites down on it; the valve may be protected by a dust cover. Some hydration packs are insulated to keep water from freezing or becoming warm. UsesThe volume of the reservoir and the pack carrying it can vary widely depending on the purpose of the hydration pack. Some packs are extremely small and minimalist, designed to add as little weight as possible and remain secure while running or cycling, while others are more suited for backpacking and extended hikes, equipped with much larger bladders. However, as water weighs 1kg/l (approx. 8.3 lbs/gal), it is impractical to carry more than a few liters in most situations; typical reservoirs are between 1-3 l even for very large backpacks.[1] Besides hydration, water reservoirs may be used for washing dishes or equipment, or for showering. Pressurized hydration bladders are used in some cases to provide a stream powerful enough to effectively wash with, or the bladder may be suspended from a high place such as a tree branch to employ gravity in generating water pressure. Hydration packs are commonly used for outdoor recreational activities, such as hiking, bicycling, and kayaking, as well as for military maneuvers. Most field backpacks designed for backcountry or military use include accommodations for a user-supplied hydration bladder. {{clear}}{{Gallery|align=center| title = Hydration Pack | lines = 3 | width = 160 | height = 140 |File:Hydration pack bladder.jpg|Hydration pack bladder with drinking tube and bite valve |File:Hydrapak.reservoir.jpg|Hydrapak reservoir |File:ISAF soldier looking for enemy positions in Kunar Province of Afghanistan.jpg|U.S. Army soldier wearing a hydration pack in Afghanistan }} See also
