"Hiker" bag? Can you put a URL up?

Go to _www.platypushydration.com/product_detail.aspx?ProdID=15_ 
(http://www.platypushydration.com/product_detail.aspx?ProdID=15)  to  see the Hiker 
Hydrator.  I like it best of all the pouch holders out there  right now.  It is 
really a personal thing on what you like best.  Each  Hiker holds 1.8 liters, I 
think.
 
I carry one on each hip on my waist  pack belt.  I might add some foam to the 
belt to give it a little more  thickness and then I use Velcro to tie it to 
the belt.  For the current  waist pack I am using from REI I can use a metal 
ring to hook one end of the  Hiker to the belt and Velcro for the other end.  
Nice.
 
I use one drinking hose for each  Hiker, so I can change on the move if one 
dries up (I try to balance them out  and use both as I hike).  Then I have my 
bottle pouches on the waist belt  too for electrolyte and protein drinks.  The 
waist pack pouch in is front  and hooked in the back.  It is a fanny pack 
turned around.
 
This supplies and liquid waist pack  system is the famous Bionic Hydration 
Integration system.  It works nicely  and keeps my center of gravity lower for a 
smoother walk.
 
If you need more water to carry,  then you can go to your backpack.  No 
problem.
 
Switchback the  Hydrator
