"High quality, robust, doesn’t leak"
"Most durable bladder out there."
"Super easy to fill, never had a leak. Works great season after season. Always suggest this product to friends"
"Very durable bladder and very easy to use and the locking mechanisms are fantastic."
"Purchased the Platypus to replace an older Camelback. Works as it should, no leaks, easy to break down and clean, perfect capacity for a day hunt."
"Love the zip style Closure, very durable"
"I do not understand the 5 star ratings. Maybe I got a bad one. When you hang this bladder from the top of bag inside the hydration compartment on the exo pack, the hanger separates from the bladder. I have to stuff game bags under the bladder to support it so it does not separate. I bought it because the ratings but its misleading."
"Seems to be pretty leak proof. Good value"
"When hanging in an exo pack the bladder pulls away from the blue hanger. I don't understand why this bladder has good reviews. Everyday I used this bladder I'd start out with bladder hanging from velcro hanger. After hiking I'd notice my hose was super tight and I'd find my bladder separated from the blue hanger and balled up in the bottom of hydration compartment. The hanger they use to seal the bladder and hang the bladder is simple not strong enough. I'd cut the hoses off is a heart beat and put it on a camelbak."
