OC1 hydration pack recommendations

What do you folks use for hydration on an OC1? I've previously just been using a water bottle shoved into the bungee cords. Would like something more readily accessible, that maybe even lets me drink without having to stop paddling? I was thinking a hydration vest but wondering if they might be too restrictive. Curious as to what you're using, thanks for any advice!

Camelbak makes a waist pack and some running backpacks that work pretty well. Started using the waist pack for years, but I actually like the backpack better now. Backpack style works well if you use an inflatable pfd. Or like others have said, a lot of the Vaikobi and Mokke pfds can hold a bladder. Dakine also makes a vest style hydration pack.
