  • Patent number: 11427119
    Abstract: An insulated tank bag that may fasten to a motorcycle fuel tank to hydrate the rider with ice cold water/fluids while operating their motorcycle. In various examples, the beverage container can be used on street bikes, off road vehicle, ATV's, dirt bikes, etc. The insulated tank bag may include, for example, a three-liter cube-shaped hydration water reservoir/bladder for containing ice and cold fluid for an extended period of time. The hydration water reservoir may be provided with a hydration hose attached to the reservoir/bladder, extending out of the bag to the exterior side of the tank bag. The hydration hose may be secured by a retractable reel to the side of the tank bag. The hydration hose may be accessible to the rider by his non-throttle hand without removing their helmet and inserting it in their mouth under or through the helmet head protection. Once a rider is hydrated they can release the hydration hose, which will retract to its fixed position on the side of the tank bag.
