Very easy to use features The Platypus has a superb design and easy to use features. Its a hassle free hydration, I really am pleased with auto-shutoff valve when removing the hose from the bladder which makes removal of the whole system from my backpack a breeze.

Was this Platypus Big Zip SL Hydration System - 34835 Review Helpful? - Yes - No

The best hydration system I've ever owned! I have had North Face, Camelback and Neagle and by far this beats them all. I use it for mountain biking and backpacking. This size provides me enough water for 2 days hiking even when I don't feel like I am conserving very much. The best feature in my opinion is the wide mouth. It makes it much easier to clean and it also drys thoroughly (unlike my Camelback which mildewed even using the hanger system).

Is this Handy? - Yes - No

Great design, plenty of volume I like the Platypus design better than the Camelback. I got tired of switching my Camelback 2L from my day pack to my big Kelty pack for longer trips. I also wanted more volume. My boyfriend has the 2L Big Zip and loves it, so I bought this one and it's great. The best feature is the quick disconnect hose.
