A flexible water container carried on the back of the user in a position that does not restrict the active movement of the user during exercise. Connected to the water container is a tube to conduct the water from the container to an irrigation system positioned within a helmet or otherwise placed about the head of the user. A pressurized air bladder is positioned adjacent to the water container in a manner such that pressure within the air bladder has a tendency to force water from the water container into the tube and thus into the irrigation system. The air bladder is inflatable by means a hand pump connected to the bladder through a flexible tube. The irrigation system is constructed and configured so as to appropriately surround the head of the user and further includes a soft, flexible wick material worn about the head for the purpose of conducting water forced from the irrigation system evenly about the user's head.

[ I claim:] [1.] An apparatus for providing coolant water to the head of a user during exercise or other strenuous activity, comprising:a water bladder, said water bladder having flexible walls that collapse when empty to form a generally flat profile;an air bladder, said air bladder having flexible walls that collapse when empty to form a generally flat profile, said air bladder positioned in parallel planar orientation with said water bladder;a flexible envelope, said flexible envelope configured to receive said water bladder and said air bladder in said parallel planar orientation through an opening on a first end of said envelope, said envelope further configured to restrict expansion of said air bladder and said water bladder when each of said bladders are filled;an irrigation conduit, said conduit positioned about the head of said user in a manner that permits flow of watertherefrom onto the head of said user;a water conduit connecting said water bladder to said irrigation conduit; andmeans for pressurizing said air bladder; wherein pressurization of said air bladder forces water from said water bladder through said water conduit into said irrigation conduit in a manner that dispenses water from said irrigation conduit onto the head of said user.
