These 2 tubes will replace 2 other tubes that I had purchased 4 years ago. Which is good, considering that I have probably used at least 300 times during tgat time.

This is replacing my old Hoser that was over 10 years old. The new mouth piece is better than the old one and the new protector fits better than the old style. Awesome, lightweight, easy to use hydration system. I use it for hiking and back country skiing. Awesome product, thanks Platypus! It is a quality product, the only reason my old one wore out is because I have to remove the mouthpiece to move it from my hiking pack to my ski pack. The silicon on the mouth piece wore out. It lasted a lot longer than expected.

We took it with us for 4 day trip to havasupai backpacking. Worked great better than any other filter I have used. No pump. Intuitive. Easy to backflow/maintain. Good quality. Non stinky, no smell/odor in the water.

These things have been bursting at the seams in the last two years but I thought I’d try it once more because I had one that lasted 5 years

For me, this has the same foul taste of every other bladder I’ve owned. I clean things well and live a healthy lifestyle, so I don’t think it’s me. Also, it leaks a bit, no matter how tightly I close it. Also very hard to fill with river water on the go. Disappointing.

Had my Platy for many years and its absolutely brilliant. Still fresh clear tasting water. Now looking for a 2nd one for my daughter for our bike journeys so she stops trying to drink all my water

Hi there's no actual hole in it- how do I get the water through? I don't want to stab it with a knife...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The quality of my reservoir is awesome. I’ve tried other brands and always go back to platypus. It’s strong and there’s no nasty plastic taste

Beats heck out of the jury rigged soft-bottle I’d been using. Ensures I stay better hydrated. Light as heck. Tip: Just ensure the hose, where it exits the cap, is routed in the plane of the reservoir and not at an angle.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a few different styles of platypus and this one is now in my mountain biking bag. I like the clip that keeps it on my pack. It has a sturdy hanger.

I have had my Platypus Hoser for more than 15 years now and it still works great. It's the two liter version, very similar to this one. No complaints ever, easy to clean, light weight, and very durable. My version even has "patent pending" still on it. And a logo with a Platypus illustration, which I love! Thanks @Platypus for all these years of joyful and well-hydrated hiking and biking thanks to the Hoser :)

On my holiday in the US I bought an new hoser reservoir 3L in an outdoorshop. Unfortunately it turned out that the connecting part was ruptured, must be damaged when still in the package. So when I put in water it sprayed out. Unfortunately I cannot use it because of this leakage. And because we are travelling I also cannot go to the store I bought it.

Unfortunately this bite valve just doesn't seal and drips right from being brand new. There is no need to bite it really, it just drips everywhere. I had a better version 20 years ago, blown away that this design is currently being sold. I do appreciate it is medical grade silicone, but not helpful if it doesn't keep water in the hose until it is needed. I don't think the valve cover would even help as it would just fill with water.

I purchased 3 of the 2.0 liter Hoser Resevoirs and 1 happened to have a small leak after a couple of uses. I sent the reservoir in and received a whole new replacement without any issue. I have other Platypus bottles as well and they have been working great. Very satisfied.
