I am a occasional hiker, quickly moving towards avid as the weather gets warmer. I purchased this 3L Platypus reservoir to go in a reservoir compatible small day pack I already owned. I found that the reservoir fit well in the pack, and I was able to use it easily.
The biggest plus I found with this reservoir is that it had absolutely no taste what so ever. Even at the end of a 3 hour hike the water tasted as if I had just poured it into a glass from the fridge.
I also liked the size of the reservoir, as it allows me to carry the majority of my water needs all in one container. This makes it excellent for a single person on a long hike, or even for sharing among family members. I always have a back up vessel in case of a problem, but assuming all is going well with a 3L reservoir I don’t have to worry about running out quickly and finding water sources on the trail.
There were two things I had problems with using this unit. I found that the reservoir became difficult to fill once it reached about 2/3 of the way full. I have to use a water filter pitcher and trying to hold the reservoir around the small opening with one hand while pouring with the other became slightly tedious as the reservoir became heavy and wet from spillage.
The bite piece also took a little getting used to. It has to be bitten a specific way in order for water to flow freely. Once I figured it out I didn’t have many problems, but occasionally I wouldn’t quite have it in my mouth right and I would suck and get very little water. In a way, the valve being finicky is also a plus because the valve seals tightly enough that it doesn’t allow air back into the system.
One additional plus is that these reservoirs are compatible with a range of accessories offered by Platypus, including an attachment that allows you to connect a filter straight to the bottle.

It does what it says on the box, holds a lot of water, no plastic taste, and folds down to almost nothing when empty. I don’t know if it fits in a standard hydration compatible pack (I don’t have one), but I don’t have any trouble tossing it in my pack with the tube sticking out through the zipper.

As others have said, yes, the bite valve takes a bit of getting used to, but that’s hardly a reason to take a star away. It is well built, the water has no plastic taste, it is well-built and is a good value.
