Likes: very durable container and I like that it is clear.
Dislikes: the bite piece / mouthpiece leaks and the container does not stand on its own making it difficult to set it down when filling it.

Likes: Sturdy water holder, didn't find a leak and good price!
Dislikes: I don't know if this was just user error, I looked into the other reviews and didn't see anything about it, but I found that it was really hard to pull water out of the platypus while I was hiking. I've never had trouble with my camelbacks before, but this was kind of a chore to drink with!

Likes: Took this on a 3 day backpacking trip. Seems like good material / will hold up well to wear and tear.
Dislikes: By the end of the first day, I noticed that the bite valve had a small drip. It wasn't enough for me to worry about significant water loss, but still... Also, with no way to refill from the top of the bag, if you put this in your water reservoir in the hydration pouch in your bag, you'll have to undo your compression straps on your pack, take out anything in the way of it, and pull it completely out of your bag to refill the thing. All things said, not bad for the price.

Likes: This thing holds as much or as little water as you want! Love the ability to store hot water or freeze it before a long trip for nice refreshing ice cold water. Great flow through the mouthpiece.
Dislikes: Small opening for bladder. i still give it 5 stars though

Likes: My second Platypus. The first is still going strong, but wanted to pick up another for an extra for long hikes, or if my wife decides to come along! Everything about these are excellent. I'll continue to use these without a second thought on something else. Get one and keep hydrated!
Dislikes: Never an issue!

Likes: Have used this on many hikes now, and it has held up to having me laying on top of it after a fall, being thrown around in the pack, and many cycles of being filled and emptied. The bite valve has also held up well. A buddy I hike with has replaced three bladders of a competitive brand in the same timeframe. Do your self a favor and get one!

Likes: Bite valve is the best going, and the water pressure is great (cap down in your pack). Watch the height difference if selecting a 2L over a 1.8L.
Dislikes: Nothing.
