Platypus Big Zip LP Review by Barefoot Jake Brown

Описание: A video review of the Platypus Big Zip LP 3.0 ltr/100 oz hydration system. I'm in love with this thing. It's definitely made the cut and has a permanent spot #InsideThePack. Get yours from Amazon, here: https://amzn.to/2AqDRqS

Highlights:

Hinged connection between hose and bladder.

Easy-open-easy-fill; zip-style top seam makes refills a breeze.

Quick-connect between hose-bladder doesn't allow water to leak out; ideal for awkward refills or hose replacements while unit is in use.

One thing I neglected to mention in the video is the thin dividing wall inside the bladder that cuts down on sloshing.

My main concern is that the zip-sealed top seam doesn't lock in place. It's unlikely, but I think there is potential for it to rub enough inside the pack that it might open and spill contents; it may also loosen over time, making that scenario more likely. That's hardly a deal-breaker, though; just something to improve upon.

As with most hydration system bladders, I think it could be a little thicker. I'd rather carry more weight and get there, than die or have to call for evac because my water bladder ruptured.

I give the Big Zip LP 95/100, and am very happy to have it in my pack.
