Big Zip EVO Shutoff Valve

The Platypus Big Zip EVO Reservoir is designed specifically for outdoor activities, featuring a larger capacity for holding water and an improved design for easier dispensing. Its "EVO" designation indicates enhancements over previous models, ensuring better durability and functionality for hikers and backpackers.

If you notice that water is leaking from the valve, or if the flow is significantly reduced, it may be time to replace the valve. A replacement valve is easy to install and ensures that your hydration system functions optimally, allowing you to hydrate efficiently during your adventures.

A wider angle in the replacement valve allows for a larger opening, which means water flows out more quickly. This feature is particularly beneficial during high-intensity activities like hiking or biking, where quick hydration is essential to maintain energy and performance.

A larger on-off lever makes it easier to control the water flow, especially when you’re wearing gloves. This design improvement is crucial for outdoor enthusiasts who may need to hydrate in cold or wet conditions, ensuring they can easily access water without fumbling with small components.

"Glove-friendly use" means that the reservoir and its components are designed to be easily operated while wearing gloves. This is particularly important for outdoor activities in cold weather, allowing users to hydrate quickly and efficiently without having to remove their gloves.

Absolutely! The Platypus Big Zip EVO Reservoir is versatile and can be used for various outdoor activities, including biking, camping, and running. Its design ensures that you stay hydrated no matter the adventure, making it a great addition to any outdoor gear collection.
