Abstract

A hydration apparatus attachable to an individual for maintaining the individual's fluid balance. The hydration apparatus includes a body portion, an intake conduit, a fluid pump, a discharge conduit, and a distribution outlet. The body portion is disposable about a portion of the individual's body. The body portion has a bladder supported thereon. The bladder is adapted to receive a fluid. A first end of the intake conduit is connected to and in fluid communication with the fluid in the bladder. The fluid pump is connectable to a second end of the intake conduit so that the fluid pump is in fluid communication with the bladder. A first end of the discharge conduit is connectable to and is in fluid communication with the fluid pump. The distribution outlet is connectable to and in fluid communication with a second end of the discharge conduit.
