Just a paracord loop attached to both ends of tube. I carry it on my left side snugged in against the front of my pack, large end up so I can just rotate it to use it. Take a couple of extra loops around the small end of the tube if needed to cinch it up tight so it doesn't rattle or come loose. I don't even know it's there.
Do you have a pic of this setup?

I changed from paracord to black 5mm round elastic cord with holes drilled at the end and 4 inches from mouthend or so. Elastic keeps it tight to your side and easy to stretch out to use.

For those of us that are cheap, I see something I like and make a version of it. A piece of 4" drainage pipe (not pvc, thinner more flexible stuff) stuffed into my water bottle spot on my pack makes for easy in and out. Top is secured to pack with some shock cord

Did something similar. Used a 4x3 drain reducer covered with camo tape and used tie wraps to attach on right side of waist belt. Added elastic cord crist crossed over the top to keep tube from popping out.

No but it's easy to set this up. I carry it on my left side so I put the cord over my head and under my left arm with bugle in front then just rotate the tube so it's small end is behind your arm. Just make loops around the small end if the cord is too long and the tube doesn't fit snug. Sometimes I'll put the small end of the tube in the pocket of my pack to keep it more secure. Experiment with what works with your pack. Good luck!

Mouth piece forward through the shoulder strap and rotate the mouth piece down and away into this position then tighten the strap. Barely notice it’s there and can immediately remove it to use whenever. Ignore the wife’s fancy pop socket on the phone. Camera is busted on my phone.
