Two parts hydrogen, one part oxygen. What could be more elemental? At
Platypus®, we think staying hydrated should be just as simple. So we’ve done
all the big thinking, creating an assortment of easy-to-use modular
hydration systems that fit with every active lifestyle. That’s why you’re
just as likely to find our products tucked into the bags of on-the-go
urbanites as strapped to the backs of elite endurance athletes.
Our smart, versatile designs—including collapsible bottles, taste-free
reservoirs, and wide-mouth carriers—boast interchangeable pieces that let
you create a hydration system tailor-made for whatever activity you have in
mind. And because your performance depends on ours, we test everything we
make, and back it all up with a limited lifetime warranty. The only question
left:
WHAT ARE YOU
DOING WITH YOUR PLATY TODAY?
Reservoirs
We climb. We run. We cycle. We’ve been a long way from the
trailhead, as dusk approaches, without the faintest clue how to get home.
That’s why we know last thing you need is for your hydration reservoir to
crap out in the middle of some epic. Unlike others on the market, the super
strong Platypus reservoirs won’t leave you parched. They are the ideal
upgrade or replacement component for your existing hydration system, and
instantly convert any pack into a performance hydration pack.
Taste Free
Made with FDA
approved, food-grade polyethylene, Platypus’s durable reservoirs deliver
clear, fresh tasting water as long as you own the product.
Flexible to Fit
Anywhere
Unlike traditional
water bottles, Platypus reservoirs are flexible, not hard. The more you
drink, the smaller it gets. When empty, roll it up and stick it anywhere.
Durable
Our triple
laminate material is super strong and puncture resistant. So strong, in
fact, that it can withstand boiling, freezing and squishing. Covered by a
lifetime warranty.
Adaptable
Swap the drinking
tube for our shower kit to rinse off the trail dust. Or add a Closure Cap to
create a secure water storage container. Insulating sleeves are also
available as an accessory to keep them cool in summer & warm in winter.
Bottles
Unconventional by design, flexible Platypus Bottles are
everything that a hard bottle isn't. 80% lighter than conventional bottles
of the same size, they pack down to next-to-nothing when empty. The solid
plastic neck is easy to hold when filling, and they're available in a wide
range of sizes.

SoftBottle
There’s not a hard bottle out there that’s cleaner, greener, and more
flexible than a Platypus SoftBottle. Each one comes with our Clean-Taste
Guarantee™ and it’s made with zero BPA. The SoftBottle is green, too,
because it’s ultra-reusable and lightweight, it uses less energy and
materials.
Finally, your SoftBottle defines flexible. It fits in a drink holder, a
round pocket, a flat pocket, or any hand. When empty, it rolls up and fits
anywhere you want it to fit. Plus, it weighs 80% less than hard hydration
bottles.
Accessories
Want to upgrade your kit? Had an accident on the trail and
need to replace a part? No problem with Platypus. The wide range of parts
has been developed not only with performance and quality in mind, but also
modularity.
Accessories available include:
Hydration insulators
Slip one of these insulating sleeves over your Platypus™
reservoir and drop into your back pack for year round use. Keep your
drinking water cool during hot weather and prevent freezing in winter. They
also protect the reservoir against accidental punctures inside your pack.
Available in three sizes: 1.8, 2, and 3 liters.
Gravity filtration system
This system lets you filter four liters of drinking water
effortlessly. It includes a Platypus® 4-liter Big Zip™ reservoir and Water
Tank™ and is designed to work with any water filter (sold separately).
First, scoop collection water into the wide-mouth Big Zip, then attach to
the intake hose of your water filter. Next, run the second hose from the
filter's outlet to the Water Tank. Gravity forces the water through your
filter. No pumping is required. Gravity does all the work.
Filter link
Special cap for attaching water filter outlet hose directly
to a Platypus™ bottle or reservoir.
Push-pull caps
Platypus Replacement cap for quick and easy drinking.
Closure caps
A secure replacement cap that won't leak inside your pack.
Bite Valve cover
Keeps Bite Valve clean and ready for use and helps prevent
freezing in winter. Includes Velcro® straps for easy placement.
Drinking tube insulator & bite valve cover
Helps prevent freezing of drinking tube in winter. Includes
Bite Valve Cover that attaches to shoulder strap.
Drinking tube
Includes a 42" (106cm) hose, HyperFlow™ Bite Valve, Lapel
Clip, and cap fitting that attaches to any Platypus™ bottle or reservoir.
Shower kit
Hose with showerhead and on/off valve converts a Platypus™
reservoir or Water Tank™ into a welcome camp shower.
Platy patches
Six self-adhesive repair patches if you accidentally puncture
your Platy.
Lapel clip

Cleaning Kit

HyperFlow™
Bite valve
Our new improved HyperFlow™ Bite Valve has twice the flow of
the previous Bite Valve. It's soft, drip-free, and easy to hold in the
mouth. Can also be pulled apart to remove built-up grunge. Now available as
a shut-off valve to completely eliminate any chance of drips or leaks when
accidentally squeezed.
PlatyPRESERVE
Whether you are a connoisseur, an enthusiast or a casual
admirer of wine, one truth remains: the delicate taste of wine change upon
exposure to oxygen. That means wine is best enjoyed within a few hours of
being opened. If not properly preserved, wine can go bad in as little as 2
to 8 hours.
Don't just minimise oxygen exposure, eliminate it with
PatyPreserve. Much lighter than carrying the bottle to begin with, plus with
PlatyPreserve you can open a bottle or two of wine to enjoy them at your
leisure.
