Claim:
A personal hydration system for delivering a fluid for consumption by a user, comprising: an arch-shaped reservoir configured to hold the fluid and having a rigidity for maintaining a substantially constant shape over a range of fluid levels, the reservoir having a first end and a second end, and a top side defining a first curvilinear profile extending between the first end and the second end, and a bottom side defining a second curvilinear profile extending between the first end and the second end, the first and second curvilinear profiles substantially defining the arch-shaped profile of the reservoir; an angularly extending neck portion integrally formed with the first end of the reservoir; a fluid delivery port integrally formed with the second end of the reservoir and configured to engage a fluid delivery tube; and a first raised portion and a second raised portion extending from the top side, the first raised portion having a first side and a second side, each side defining a channel configured to at least partially retain the fluid delivery tube.
