Product Description
Platypus premium hydration system is now more durable than ever and loaded with improved features, like our new easy-to-clean wide-mouth SlideLock clsure with secondary reinforcement so you know it is sealed securely, and a quick disconect valve for removing the reservoir from a pack without re-routing the hose. Other upgrades include a redsigned, easy to use shutoff valve and a softer, more flexible, but still taste-free reservoir. |

easy to fill by Bryant H. Berk (Bakersfield, CA)  4 Stars
September 18, 2009
We purchase 3 of these units before a backpacking trip a month ago. One of them had a problem, with the tubing not reattaching easily to the bag after a week of use. We used a key to push the piece that catches the tubing back on, and didn't remove the tubing again. But I am giving the bags a 4 star rating because they worked great otherwise. I have a camelback that I use for bicycling that is much more difficult to fill. When it fails I'll be looking for something like this Platypus to replace it.

Great Bladder by TIMA (Lexington, KY USA) 4 Stars
June 07, 2009
Pros: Works with my MSR gravity filter, easy to clean, bite valve provides a rush of water, quick connect is handy, no leaks.
Cons: Zip end is a little bulky, need to watch bladder around sharp items(knifes,etc.)
great product

Water on the go! by Jennine L. Wardle (Kenmore, WA United States)  5 Stars
May 15, 2009
We got the 3 liter Platy bladders as a replacement for the 2 liter bladders that came with our hiking packs. What a difference! That extra liter really comes in handy on hot, cold or dry days. I also appreciate that this bladder doesn't impart a funky taste to our water like the original bladder did. I love the large Zip opening... really makes filling and cleaning very easy (although the anti-microbial treatment means I don't have to clean it often).
