      Comments about Platypus Hoser Reservoir - 100 oz.:

      REI seems to be phasing out the Platypus line of gear, which is too bad. The bladder is very, very durable, and the plastic doesn't retain odors from rehydration mixes. Better, it stands up when filled or inflated to act as a canteen when you're sitting still. Filling it from a hose, fountain or sink is easy enough (if you're filtering water another might be better). I've replaced all my camelback bladders with Platypus as it's such a superior product.

      Comments about Platypus Hoser Reservoir - 100 oz.:

      I have a Camelback and I must say, I prefer using my Platypus. On an overnight hike, it was very convenient in my backpacking pack as it fit perfectly into the detachable lumbar sac. I was able to use the lumbar sac as a daypack that carried my Platypus and my lunch. and I could also slip the Platypus into the hydration compartment in my big backpack.

      I like the versatility of the item and the clip and the mouthpiece. It is just handy to have for any type of outdoor activity!

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

      Tough but not perfect

      About Me Avid Adventurer

      Site Member

      Pros

      • Leak proof fittings
      • Tough laminate bladder

      Cons

      • Needs insulated tube
      • Needs larger filler spout

      Best Uses

      • Day Hikes
      • Large Packs
      • Weekend Trips

      Comments about Platypus Hoser Reservoir - 100 oz.:

      Almost perfect. The only thing that keeps this bladder from getting five stars is the small filler spout and the lack of insulation on the drinking tube. A filler spout that fits a MSR filtration pump shouldn't be too much to ask for. If you've ever ripped or pierced a single-layer bladder you'll appreciate the Platypus.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

        This is my 2nd platypus; my 1st lasted many years, and this new design is sturdier, and I really like the newer hose & mouthpiece.
