Platypus - Intelligent systems for hydration

The US brand Platypus has specialized in the production of hygienic and functional drinking containers for years which serve their purpose in military service as well as on private trekking tours and excursions. In addition to easy-to-transport containers in various formats, the manufacturer offers accessories such as hoses, caps and bite valves which can be assembled into a functional system in just a few simple steps.

The use of Platypus liquid systems

The basis of each system is a soft bag with a capacity of one or more liters which can be worn directly on the body or in a backpack. In addition to closed transport using a sealing cap, it is possible to attach a valve with a tube that can be routed under clothing or outside towards the mouth. The Slidelock closure prevents the valve from opening unintentionally and precious drinking water from leaking out

Depending on the model series, a filter system can be built in between the container and the mouthpiece in order to carry out a biological or chemical cleaning of the water. Replacement hoses and filters also be included in your gear especially by longer trips and can be easily exchanged since every drinking system has a modular character and is designed for the exchange of individual parts.

Information to Platypus

- The US brand is named after the platypus, which is one of the few egg-laying mammals and lives both on land and in water. With this, the company makes its versatility and suitability for any outdoor use clear.

- Despite the great international reputation of its drinking systems, platypus continues to rely on the production of all components in Seattle on the American west coast. Both US and imported materials are used after extensive quality testing.

- In addition to its modular systems, Platypus also offers classic drinking bottles and water containers that were primarily designed for civilian use. The advantages of all containers are the soft and flexible outer material, which allows easy folding and storage when empty.
