DESCRIPTION
Introducing the Big Zip™ EVO — the latest evolution in taste-free hydration from Platypus. The Big Zip EVO delivers a significantly higher flow rate than previous Platypus reservoirs and a host of new features, making it a great option for backpackers, hikers, and mountain bikers.
The Secure SlideLock slides both directions to easily open, securely close and fill reservoir while the handy pincher grip allows for easy one-handed filling.
The high mount quick-disconnect offers fast, easy access—no more digging down in your pack.
Leak-proof shut-off valve instantly stops flow and offers reliable stowing. The semi-rigid centre baffle provides low-profile support and makes for easy cleaning and drying. The HyFLO™ self-sealing bite valve improves flow along with new, larger 5/16" drink tube. All materials are certified taste-free, BPA-free, BPS-free, and phthalate-free, and the embedded Silver-ion protects clean water from mould & bacteria.
