CASANOVA'S Tip:

Using Technology Wisely

After Years Of Using Different Hands-Free Systems, Our Chief Equipment Technologist, Recommends Outfitting With The Latest Maximum Capacity Platypus Hydration System For Most Applications.  FACT - A Reservoir Can Not Be Enlarged When Extra Water May Be Needed In The Field!  However, Used Effectively, A 3L Reservoir Can Be Filled To Any Level Up To 3L.  Water Is Heavy, So There Is No Need To Fill The Reservoir, When The Application Doesn't Need 3L.  After each Use, Note The Amount Of Water Consumed.  After Several Repeated Applications, An Average Volume Of Water Can Be Determined.  With This Method, The Extra Capacity Of 3L Is Always There, At A Moment's Notice!
