The original Platypus water reservoir that became a backcountry classic, the Platypus Hoser Hands-Free Hydration System Reservoir is an ultralight, minimalist hydration system that delivers taste-free hydration with a versatile, durable design that makes it great for backpacking, thru-hiking, and day hikes. Offered with or without the Fast Flow Valve, the self-sealing HyFLO bite valve delivers a 30-percent increase in flow rate, making it quicker and easier to hydrate on the go. An integrated hang/carry loop makes it easy to secure the reservoir in a backpack or elsewhere. The Hoser is taste-free, BPA-free, BPS-free, phthalate-free and features embedded silver-ion to protect the reservoir from mold and bacteria. The outlet on this versatile reservoir also accepts any threaded Platypus drink tube or closure cap.
