Lots of backpacks these days are "hydration-compatible," which means you can slip your own hydration reservoir inside your pack and you're ready to go. The 1.5-liter BPA-free Platypus Big Zip LP ($35, cascadedesigns.com) is a good choice because its slim profile enables it to fit inside most packs, and the wide-mouth opening makes it easier to fill up and simpler to fit your hand inside to clean it. Three-liter size is $37.
