Platypus Soft Bottle

A keenly priced two litre Platypus reservoir & a Platypus Soft Bottle caught my eye ; both appear to be very good quality & pack away small … and, they arrived appropriately packaged & very quickly, thank you :)

Have used platypus soft water bottles for many years. Purchased a new one from Base Camp, brilliant promot service.

Got 4 for a hiking trip and the first 2 I tried leaked straight away - seem to both have holes in the plastic near the opening. Disappointing. The other two so far are ok, though haven’t started the 5 day hike yet so we’ll have to see how the hold up.

I was reluctant to purchase this product as I avoid plastic in any form. But guess what, this is an absolute game changer. Compact lightweight and multipurpose. My second platypus I have purchased as I love my 2 l one I have used on hiking trips, at the gym travelling abroad, also as a hot water bottle while camping in cold weather, nothing happened to the bottle itself! Even tho I was worried to store hot water as wasn’t sure if the lid won’t leak. Worked perfectly I even use it as a pillow just covered with towel. Absolutely amazing product

This is to replace a Platypus that I lost recently. over the years I took it ski-ing, climbing, mountain walking and most times outdoors needing a water bottle. On a bike I carry standard bidons but have used my Platypus as a hydration bladder on multi-day bike rides - needs the mouth valve and tube for that, though. Great for sub-zero temperatures because you can carry it in a map pocket next to your body and it won't freeze. Or you can freeze it for really hot outings. All in all, one of my favourite items of kit.
