A personal hydration system with a flow-restricting device. The hydration system includes a fluid reservoir configured to store fluid and a tube assembly that is coupled to the reservoir and configured to deliver fluid to a user's mouth, such as via a mouthpiece. The system further includes a flow-restricting device that is configured to selectively restrict the flow of drink fluid between the reservoir and the mouthpiece. In some embodiments, the flow-restricting device includes a body and a rotatable core.

1. A personal hydration system, comprising:a fluid reservoir configured to store drink fluid; a flexible tube assembly coupled to the reservoir and adapted to receive drink fluid from the reservoir; and a flow-restricting device, comprising a body having an input mount and an output mount and a fluid passageway extending therebetween, wherein the input mount is configured to be coupled to the tube assembly to receive drink fluid therefrom, and a core rotationally coupled to the body and including a drum that extends into the passageway, wherein the drum includes a drum conduit with openings, and further wherein upon rotation of the core, the flow-restricting device is selectively configured between a defined range of configurations that include an open configuration, in which the drum conduit forms a portion of the passageway and drink fluid may flow from the reservoir, through the passageway and through the output mount, and a closed configuration, in which the drum obstructs the passageway and drink fluid cannot flow through the device.
