        This hydration system weighs 4 ounces as opposed to my camelback bladder which weighs 1/2 pound. Rolls up into a small package when not in use. A must have for ultra light backpacking.

          Comments about Platypus Hoser 3.0L Reservoir - 100 oz.:

          This is by far the best bladder/bottle out there. I use this for every type of hiking situation and if I feel like 3 Liters is too much then I just fill it up half way and fold the other half as to save the space. Do yourself a favor and get one of these and never look back.

            No taste, flows well, good price. The lapel clip is nice, and it fits in my small backpack and large pack well, although I have to fold it to fit it into my large pack.

                Works great in my backpack. Delivers plenty of water when needed, though it does take a little while we you first get a hydration bladder to figure out the best way to bite the valve for maximum water flow. Keep it in the freezer between uses and no mold will grow. I've had Platypus bladders for years with no leaks or bursts. Can freeze or boil these things, I love them.

                  I initially bought this as it's the cheapest 3.0L reservoir at REI, and I wanted something larger than my 1L Camelbak. Now that I've used it a couple times, I am a very happy camper.

                  Yes the opening is small, but the reservoir is huge and it's stupid light to boot. Also this bag doesn't leak. Period.

                      I recently bought this platypus bladder to replace the bladder that came with my North Face hydration pack. I could never seem to get the north face bladder completely dry and i always worried about storing it away for a month or so at a time still a little wet. That's not a problem with the platypus, i just hang it after i've used it and it dries in about a day. The only downside is that the opening is small so you can't put ice cubes in it. But that's ok with me!

                          Great purchase! Easy to clean. Easy to use. I found I drink a lot more water with a hydration pack than without, so that's a good thing. The plastic that this bag is made out of is super thick and sturdy so I don't really worry about it tearing. Definitely recommend this product!

                          These water bags are awesome, I own several of them. The make hydration easy and compact. The one downfall is that they do not dry completely between uses and have trouble evaporating out of the only tiny opening at the top. It is also difficult, because of the same small opening, to fill these bags from running water outside. I spent about 15 mins trying to fill this up at a stream before giving up and filling a bottle, then pouring it into the bag.

                          Otherwise, it does the trick and is a good price.

                            Comments about Platypus Hoser 3.0L Reservoir - 100 oz.:

                            I used the platypus daily for two weeks hiking in warm weather. It never had the opportunity to be dried during those two weeks and never had a funky smell. I found it easy to fill with the zip top and even easier to reseal after filling. I used a Camelbak for years and it was always a juggling routine to reseal it. Never once did it leak within the bag or via the mouthpiece. I had a cover on my mouthpiece which helped keep the funk off of it. However, the mouthpiece did require a thorough cleaning once I returned home. My hiking partner had Camelbak and her mouthpiece leaked constantly thus soaking her clothes and gear.
