Hands-free hydration so you can carry on adventuring
As far as we’re concerned, the hydration reservoir is one of hiking’s great inventions. We sure don’t miss having to take off a heavy pack halfway up a mountain, just to retrieve a water bottle in order to slake our raging thirst. And Platypus water reservoirs are rightly top of most outdoor adventurers’ lists when it comes to hands-free hydration. The Hoser is an ultralight, minimalist hydration system that delivers taste-free water, so no more mouthfuls of disgusting plastic-tasting swill. Their durable design means you don’t have to worry about leaks, even if your pack gets squished, and they aren’t bulky like many other hydration pouches, so they stow neatly in your pack. Complete with a self-sealing HyFLO bite valve that delivers a 30% increase in flow rate, hydration on the go has never been so easy. They’re easy to fill and clean too, although thanks to embedded silver-ion technology, the reservoir is protected from mould and bacteria.

When it comes to doing anything active in the great outdoors, from trail running to backpacking, thirst is one of the biggest enemies. Without adequate hydration to fuel your body, you can’t perform at your best. And not only that – if you’re thirsty, you’re dehydrated. In the worst-case scenarios, that can become a life-threatening problem.
That’s why US brand Platypus made it their mission to offer the finest, adventure-ready hydration and water filtration products on the planet. They’ve now been at it for over 20 years, fine-tuning their designs to develop highly effective, durable and taste-free bottles, bladders and filters. They even have their own certified, world-class water laboratory, which enables them to research, develop and test innovative technologies for a variety of end uses, from town to trail.
It seems that when water geeks, lab technicians, researchers, designers, directors and worker bees come together, with a shared love for outdoor adventure, the result is H2awesome.
