Comments about Platypus Hoser 1.0L Reservoir - 34 fl. oz.:

This was my first hydration bladder experience. I was tired of dealing with water bottles and I thought I might be inclined to drink more if it were handier to use. I was right. It makes drinking water so easy.

I filled it the night before my first hike with it and hung it up--no leaks!

The big bite valve delivers a good dose of water and does not leak.

I will be adding a bite valve cover--I already know the advantage to it--you will get the mouthpiece dirty (no matter how hard you try) if you don't protect it.

You can keep it cooler by making a sleeve out of that mylar stuff they make car window shades out of (get at home improvement shops)--it works and it weighs only ounces. I happen to like my water COLD.

This is a perfect size bladder to use in the REI Flash 18!

Comments about Platypus Hoser 1.0L Reservoir - 34 fl. oz.:

I like the quality of the plastic better than the Nalgene canteens, and I liked that the edges are rounded and much easier on the fabric of my pack. Don't like the small mouth though, it's difficult to fill at some water sources and it cannot accept a SteriPen.
I bought the on/off valve, which I think should have been included in the price, and also a bite valve cover to keep it out of the dirt and cactus thorns.

It gets the job done, but 1-liter for anything past 3 hours in the sun probably won't cut it.

Comments about Platypus Hoser 1.0L Reservoir - 34 fl. oz.:

I just came back from a four-day hike in hot weather and can't say enough good things about this bladder with drinking tube. I was able to leave at home my in-the-pack reservoir which takes up a lot of space and is heavy even empty. Before I used the Platypus I soaked the hose and mouthpiece in a very weak bleach solution, then flushed it with clean water . . . no taste at all. I carried a spare Platypus bladder and a 3-liter collapsible, light-weight canteen. One thing, I'm going to super glue a string the cap of the spare bladder and tie it to the neck of the bladder so I won't worry about losing the cap.

Unpleasant Plastic Taste

Comments about Platypus Hoser 1.0L Reservoir - 34 fl. oz.:

I haven't yet used it on a hike, but in testing I found a very unpleasant "plastic" taste in the water. The manufacturer never replied to my email, but REI suggested a baking soda treatment. Instead I used cider vinegar, and after 2 treatments that seemed to work.
