Abstract: In embodiments, the invention is a novel hydration pack refill system that comprises a fluid bladder, a bag for carrying the fluid bladder, a bladder nozzle for refilling the fluid bladder, a clip for sealing the end of the bladder nozzle, and a refill port for accessing the bladder nozzle through the bag and methods for its use. The invention may further comprise a water tube and a mouthpiece to allow a user to drink from the fluid bladder while wearing the bag. In an embodiment, the invention may employ one or more locking devices for holding the clip in place. The invention may further employ mating pairs of seating connectors to provide a watertight seal to the closed bladder nozzle.

The invention may further comprise a water tube and a mouthpiece to allow a user to drink from the fluid bladder while wearing the bag. In preferred embodiments, the bag may be worn on a user's back, held in place by a pair of shoulder straps, and may be rapidly refilled by reorienting the bag from a vertical orientation to a horizontal orientation, opening the refill port, extending the bladder nozzle, removing the clip to unseal the bladder nozzle, and refilling the fluid bladder via the bladder nozzle.
