#Platypus water bottle taste plastic full#

Even half full it will still stand up very securely. It cleans very well and because the two openings (on the bladders not the bottles) it dries very quickly too. And also is not showing any signs of use. The mouth piece is good size and doesn’t leak like the Outdoor products. When they are new, therefore, it is not uncommon for them to smell and taste slightly of plastic. Maybe duct tape would work as well in an emergency since the material seems to be very smooth. Hydration bladders are made from plastic. I don’t have any experience with them though.

They also sell some patches so they can be very easily repaired when unexpectedly ripped or instead of buying whole new system before a long track just because it looks little warn and it may leak in the middle of nowhere just grab some of the patches. It is very durable, I use it every time we go hiking and that is very often. It also fits right in to the Katadyn water filter so there is one tube less to carry. The tube can be exchanged between the bladders and bottles. This is not happening with the platypus line and so I started buying more and more of their products (1 & 2 liter collapsible bottles, different closing tops act.). Until than I have been using Outdoor Products 2L bladder and in hot weather the water was definitely taking the flavor of the plastic. Ever debated whether you should carry your water bottle on your trip Maybe youre short on space or not sure if youre even going to use it. The 3liter platypus bladder came free with my Go Lite Speed Adventure Racing Pack.
