Hydration system and components thereof

A magnetic quick connect for use in a personal hydration system comprising:

• an upstream and a downstream coupling member with a common mating axis and which together define a fluid conduit extending from a proximal end of the upstream member to a distal end of the downstream member, wherein the upstream coupling member comprises an off-axis arm that can rotate about the mating axis without decoupling the upstream coupling member from the downstream coupling member,
• wherein the proximal end of the upstream coupling member comprises a fluid connector disposed in the off axis arm and adapted to connect to a distal end of a hydration supply tube, and
• wherein during use the fluid connector will remain connected to the distal end of the hydration supply tube when the upstream coupling member is disconnected from the downstream coupling member.
