Whether you’re sipping near-scalding water during a desert hike or reaching for your bottle on a ski trip only to find a solid ice block, you need the Platypus Insulator. This insulated hydration pouch features a Platypus Big Zip SL reservoir with a padded insulator sleeve that keeps water from freezing or getting hot. An insulated tube and bite valve cover keeps your tube from freezing over, and attached D-rings make it easy to attach the insulator to your pack or kayak deck. And with Platypus’ SlimeGuard antimicrobial treatment, your water stays fresh and tasty no matter how long it’s in there.
Lash it to your kayak, your pack, or even your bucket seat - Platypus's Insulator Hydration System holds off freezing temperatures and blazing hot sun with equal ease, keeping your beverage drinkable no matter the season.

Review Title | |

the detachable tube is brilliant. it's not super difficult, but still a small chore to thread the drinking tube through the shoulder strap of my pack. so i'm thrilled with the ability to simply detach the tube from the bladder and leave the tube in the backpack. | |

Best of the hydration bladders | |

| I've used the major brands and Platypus is the only one that doesn't make water taste bad. In the past, the zipper tops became difficult to close up as the material aged---it appears that the slide top addition may solve this problem. The detachable hose connection is a superb addition, and simplifies all kinds of pack installations. However, when detaching, be sure to clear the hose first, because any water in the hose will immediately spill out when the hose is detached (the bladder automatically seals). I bought the cover to keep condensation at bay in the back in hot weather. I removed the rubber hose insulator, which is thick and bulky and will probably cause problems with some pack entry slots. | |

Best Reservoir Out There | |

I bought this as a replacement for my other insulated reservoir. I took a hard landing on my back while skiing and the Camelbak burst and I had a rucksack full of Nuun, http://tinyurl.com/nuuntablets. Ugh. Anyway, the Platypus is MUCH easier to clean than the Camelbak as it has a mouth that opens full width and the drinking tube detaches from the bag. I replaced the Platypus drinking tube cover with my old Camelbak one as it has a smaller profile. Now my wife and daughter want new reservoirs so it looks like I'll be buying a couple more. Cheers. | |

I love this bag. The big mouth zip opening makes filling, emptying, and cleaning the bag a snap. I enjoy the way the tube detaches from the bag, allowing an ease of use with all of my packs that support hydration bladders. | |

Great quality, and no leaking at all whatsoever. Seemed to keep water cool while hiking in Arizona. Also doesn't have that "plastic taste" that my last hydration pack had. Great buy! | |
