Review on πŸ’¦ Platypus Big Zip Water Reservoir for Hydration Backpacks, 2-Liter: EVO with Fast Flow Valve, Clear | Ultimate Hydration Solution by Marcus Barlow

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Big disappointment good for outdoor recreation

The water didn't flow well. I've had May Camel Back Hydrators and other non-brand hydration packs and know how they work. I happily bought it and used it on my W Trek Patagonia Trek. I filled it with water and checked it at home, it seems to be working fine. When I got to the beginning of W Trek and started using it, I kind of had all sorts of problems. First problem, it was very difficult to drain the water. I've tried connecting and reconnecting at each connection point. I've never had such a big problem with quality products and hydration packs from other brands. The second problem, the lines were constantly kinked and jammed. I tried to keep the line straight and smooth. Even if the line was not pinched, no water flowed. At the end of the campaign, the third question was mouth-watering. Some of the electronics got wet. Fortunately, I realized that the damage was permanent. Overall I had a terrible experience with this hydration pack. Return him as he became a dead weight during a very long and important campaign. You can't experience the Patagonia W Trek, but you can do it once at a time. I'm sad to have struggled with this with a malfunctioning hydration pack.
