Review of Platypus Hoser 2 Litre
Review by Jamie 22nd September 2009, 20:00Wouldnt go drinking, i mean walking without it!
The good:
Perfect fit for most rucksacks with built in hydration pockets, and slides easily behind your kit close to your back if not. The quality is also brilliant, i've had my platypus for 5 years and it has been seriously abused with showing no signs of giving in soon. The bite piece is also replacable to keep your drink tasting fresh.
The bad:
Not great for winter climbing, due to the fact the tube usually freezes, although the neoprene tube cover (optional extra!) helps to prevent this. Dont sit rucksack on the bite piece otherwise all your fluids will leak everywhere leaving you parched. I would also advise against filling with strongly flavoured drinks as you will be tasting the flavour in the platypus for many fillings to come!
