Abstract: A container for holding and delivering liquids is disclosed. A method of making the same is disclosed. The container can have a molded container top, a molded container bottom, a flexible film reservoir, and a handle extending from the container top to the container bottom. The reservoir can be laterally exposed around the entire circumference of the reservoir along a part of the longitudinal length of the reservoir. A thermally insulated reservoir system is disclosed. The reservoir system can have a bag having a multi-layered bag wall. The bag wall can have a first layer sealed to a second layer. The volume defined between the first layer and the second layer can be partially or completely filled with a fluid insulator, such as air or saline solution. The volume defined between the first layer and the second layer can also or alternately be partially or completely filled with a solid insulator, such as a matted fiber layer.

Abstract: A container for holding and delivering liquids is disclosed. A controllably pressurizable reservoir system is disclosed. The reservoir system can have a reservoir and an inflation chamber adjacent to the liquid reservoir. The inflation chamber can be inflated to increase the pressure in the liquid reservoir, or deflated to decrease the pressure.

Abstract: A reservoir system is disclosed that can have two or more reservoirs attached to a manifold. The manifold can direct or control the flow of liquids from the reservoirs and deliver the liquids to a drinking tube extending from the manifold. The reservoirs and manifold can be in a backpack. Some or all of the reservoirs can be positioned on other parts of the body outside of the backpack.

Abstract: A system for sealably closing a reservoir is disclosed. The system can have a container and a slider. The container can have an orifice and catches and lips surrounding the orifice. The slider can be translatably attached to the container over the orifice. The slider can slidably engage the catch and lips to force the orifice closed. While attached to the catch and lips, the slider can create a pressurized seal of the orifice.

Abstract: A reservoir system for preserving the chemical stability and, therefore, the flavor of fluids is disclosed. The reservoir system can include a bag having a lining around a reservoir. The reservoir can have a reservoir port. The reservoir system can have a screw cap with a port for receiving a nozzle. The screw cap can be attached to the reservoir port. The nozzle can sealably attach to the cap. The nozzle can also sealably attach to a hose. The reservoir port and reservoir can be configured to maximize drainage of the reservoir, for example when the reservoir is turned reservoir port-side-down.
