Platypus Hoser 2

Item #: 12339

Our Price: $22.95

Made with the same welded plastic laminate as Platypus bottles. Hosers are water reservoirs with a drinking tube assembly that convert an ordinary fanny pack or day pack into a 'hydration sports pack' for a fraction of the cost. Hoser 2 holds 2 liters and weighs 1 oz and will fit most top pockets of backpacks. The drinking tube length is 40"

      I like the rounded design instead of the square corners. It makes it much easier to clean.

      Comments about Platypus Hoser 2:

      Worked well and made hydrating a lot easier, but cap came off when I hiked through some tight bushes and had to retrieve it from a branch - worked ok once I tucked it into my chest strap. Also, no stop valve so leaked when sitting in my pack full.

          Comments about Platypus Hoser 2:

          This fit right in to my non platypus backpack. Durable construction. Only problem is at below freezing the water in the hose freezes, but you'll get that with any camel pak. Wrapping the hose with insulated tape gives you a bit more time before the water in the hose freezes. At 20 degrees it takes about 30 min for the hose to completely freeze uninsulated. For the money its a great buy and very compatible with off brand paks.

                A:

                Zip Hosers has the zip lock opening where the entire top opens for easy filling. The standard hoser needs to be filled through the cap at the hose outlet.

                These reservoirs are sized by the quantity of fluid they can hold. This can hold 2 liters of fluid.
