Water pouch backpack

Combined water bottle and cap

A universally adjustable frameless backpack is provided for use by the more active sportsperson. The pack has a pivoted shoulder harness that allows the pack to remain relatively stationary while the person's body and shoulders swing back and forth as in jogging, running, or cross-country skiing. The hip pad also has a novel attachment to the pack that allows hip motion without excessive swinging of the pack causing unbalance of the runner or jogger.
