Platypus Insulator

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.

Bottom Line: It even works with beer. We’re just saying…

Great Product

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.

Cascade Designs does make the Platypus Insulator in 3 sizes: 1.8L, 2.0L., and 3.0L. Currently backcountry.com only has the 1.8L and 2.0L in stock (click on the drop down bar titled 'select options' under the price). Hopefully that helps.

Best Reservoir Out There

By:
May 6, 2009

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.

Love it!

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!
