You know it's critical to remain hydrated when you're participating in any type of activity, especially outdoors on a hot day. The human body generally contains 60% water. According to H.H. Mitchell, Journal of Biological Chemistry 158, the brain and heart are composed of 73% water, and the lungs are about 83% water. The skin contains 64% water, muscles and kidneys are 79%, and even the bones are watery: 31%.
Regardless of the activity, climbing, exploring, mountaineering, cycling or running, your body needs to stay hydrated to function properly throughout.
Drinking fluids is crucial to staying healthy and maintaining the function of every system in your body, including your heart, brain, and muscles. Fluids carry nutrients to your cells, flush bacteria from your bladder, and prevent can even prevent constipation. As the body's temperature rises while doing any type of exercise or activity it is important to offset heat exhaustion by staying hydrated even in cold weather.
It's important to note that being dehydrated will negatively affect both your physical and mental performance. That’s why hydration backpacks exist – they help you drink more water hands free, on the go.

What is a hydration backpack, and how do they work?
A hydration pack or drink bag is a type of hydration system built as a backpack or waist pack containing a reservoir or "bladder" commonly made of rubber or flexible plastic
A backpack with a hydration system permits you to drink water easily without removing your pack. Thankfully, you don't need to utilize your hands to quench your thirst. The water is put away in a water bladder stowed in a hidden sleeve inside the pack. You access the water by using a hose that goes from the water supply through openings on the pack out to where it can drawn on like a straw to quench your thirst.

When keeping hydrated is concerned, there are a variety of packs in the world that cover the gamut of exercise and activities.
