      Comments about Platypus Drinking Tube:

      I used one of these on my A.T. thru-hike earlier this year with a 1 liter platypus bottle. It was great to have the functionality of the platypus and the convenience of a bladder while hiking. I used it every day for 4 months and 9 days.
      The clip broke within a month, but it was easy to rig it to my shoulder strap with a cheap carabiner. Frustrating, but no big deal - I got used to things breaking.
      The most annoying thing about this is the lack of on/off valve. If there is water in your platypus, this WILL leak. It doesn't matter if there is water in the tube or not. Totally sucks in below-freezing weather or when you are in a dry area.

      Overall, it makes the platypus more useful, I just wish it was made better.

      Oh yeah, mold will form in 3 months or so of daily use ;-)

        Comments about Platypus Drinking Tube:

        Bought this since I have an older Platypus bottle and holder; the one that attaches to a belt. it was a pain to keep taking off the belt to use the platypus bottle, so when I say this at REI, I had to get it.

          Comments about Platypus Drinking Tube:

          I had an old platypus bottle and belt pouch that you had to take completely off your belt to use. one day in REI I saw the tube and knew I had to get it. Makes life much easier.

            I actually have one of Platypus' original hydration bags. After 10 years mold started to form and I could not clean it anymore. 10 years I got out of this hose and finally had to get a new one.

              Comments about Platypus Drinking Tube:

              We use these with the 1L platypus collapsible bottles in the side pockets of my husband's REI Galaxy pack. As compared with some of the other drink hoses, this one is extremely easy to drink from! Longer hose than we need but we're very happy with it.
