 Very good hydration system Mar 07, 2007
By Cpr
After reading lots of good things about this, I got it for my recent hiking trip. It was great and provided the lightest solution to carry 3ltrs of water - which is recommended for an average day's hike. I docked off 1 star because the drinking mechanism can be a little difficult. As the reservoir gets drained, you need to blow air into it from time to time through the mouth piece. As promised, it added nothing to the taste of the water and didn't have any problems with the zip. It's like a ziplock on top, but does NOT leak. I also had other items in my backpack and so I know that it's quite durable and doesn't burst open from being in a slightly crammed pack. As I was going up past 19000ft, I also got the drinking tube insulator and did not have my tube freeze. Some have reported on message that this could happen.
Overall I was very happy with the product.

 no plastic taste, thank goodness Dec 12, 2006

All I have to say is that for those of you looking to get rid of that plastic taste... this is the answer. I have a Camelbak hydration pack. No matter what I did I couldn't get rid of that plastic taste, and I tried a lot of things. I tried all of the suggestions on Camelbak's website, as well as the suggestions of others with the same complaint. In the process, I learned that Platypus is made of a different type of plastic... either the whole thing, the inside lining, or the tube alone. I don't know, but it solved the problem. Now water tastes like refreshing water.
Only hydration pack I will ever use again Jun 09, 2008

LOVE this product. I've tried lots of different brands and usually get a plastic taste from them. Not the case w/ Platyus brand. The big zip on top is the way to go. It makes cleaning easy plus I fill my pack up w/ ice then add water. When I put it in my day pack for work or hiking I can but snacks next to the pack and it keeps my water and snacks cold all day.
