Best water bladder.

The reservoir did develop a leak from a small hole. What is the recommended material and adhesive to repair it?

Ok, not perfect

I had a platypus bladder for 6 years, it was great, but It finally had enough (after having a good life) and needed to be replaced. I tried another brand at first, because why not, but that was a mistake. I had very much taken for granted that there are no issues at all with plastic taste in platapus bladders. My replacement platapus reservoir is ok but not as well made and kinda disappointing. There are 2 major issues: 1) the mouth piece pops off the tube all the time and water pours out 2) the big plastic zip top part comes partly off while clipped in my backpack and at other unsuspecting times. I'm waiting for the day this makes a hug mess in my pack, but it hasn't happened yet. In addition to these there is no way to drain water from the small tube attached to the reservoir so you can clean it

Dependable reservoir

I’ve had this for a year and it is performing as expected. No leaks, functional mouthpiece. Attaches directly to my gravity water treatment system for easy refills, so no worry about water contamination on the trail.

Not my favourite bladder that I have used.

The backpack strap attachment fell off, the mouth piece consistently leaks, and one time the closure tab came off and all of the water spilled in my bag all within the first couple of uses. I have since had to replace it with a different brand that has been working well.

quality is gone

Familiarity:
I've put it through the wringer
Size Bought:
3L

I've had Platypus products for years and have the 2L version already. This one has fallen apart. First the slide stopped sealing the bag after about 5 months and leaked everywhere. So now I have to seal it by hand before putting the slide on. Then about 2 months ago the handle on the slide broke on the one side so I have to gingerly pull it out of my bag each time. Not worth the money.

Old Big Zip was better

Old big ZIP was better easier to clean. New bags are terrible. Who ever designed this should be fired.

It's okay

I like the pouch filling it was a little hard and I wish it had the magnetic clip for your bag instead of the plastic one
