WATER: PLATYPUS BIG ZIP SL

Hydration reservoirs are the canteens of the 21st century. A drink hose snakes near your mouth, easily connecting you to 100 liquid ounces stowed away in your backpack—keeping hydration within your reach at all times. A leak-free closure and no-taste plastic reservoir make the Big Zip a solid choice for on-the-trail water needs.
