Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to a water-bag backpack having a magnetic water-bag (hydration) tube return. More particularly, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to diametrically opposed magnetic water bag tube return systems and apparatus for an automatic water bag tube return on a backpack.

Background

water bag backpacks typically include a storage compartment containing a bladder (loader) for storing liquid and a water bag tube extending from the bladder to provide liquid to a user. Water bag tubes that are not secured to a backpack may distract or pose a safety hazard to the user, for example, by hanging and swinging while the user is engaged in activities (e.g., running, cycling, hiking, rock climbing, kayaking, skiing, motorcycle riding, etc.). Manually returning the water bag tube to, for example, the clamp, can be difficult and inefficient when the user is engaged in activities. To eliminate unnecessary distraction, a stable, efficient, and easy-to-use automatic water bag tube return apparatus is needed that allows the user to remain focused on other activities.
