[QUOTE="geocodyrgia, post: 1970405, member: 98212"] I use a 3L platypus with the spout at a 45* angle on the corner and like it a lot. I was going to go to the ziplock style to more easily get water from streams but didn’t like having to pull the bladder out of my pack. What I did was to cut the hose about 6-8” above the height of my bladder and put a connector set in. Now I use the ziplock-style as a dirty water bag, connect my Sawyer in between that and my linkage to my bladder in my pack and have the best of both worlds. When the bladder in my pack is full I reattach my hose to the connector and roll on. Went this way after 2 weeks at Philmont wrestling my bladder in and out of a full pack a couple times a day. This approach fixes the biggest PITA’s about using bladders. I’ve had mine for a couple years (probably 8ish) and I don’t remember them tasting like plastic after a couple months. I always hang them upside down and open and wash out right before a trip. [/QUOTE]
