Overview
A hollow fiber cartridge does the filtering in this Platypus QuickDraw system, fed from a wide-mouth two liter dirty bag. Squeeze it into a bottle, drink straight from it, or hang it to fill a reservoir through the hose.
Backpackers get fast flow and broad compatibility with common bottles and bladders. Travelers worried about viruses need a purifier instead.
Who it's for
Backcountry hikers and thru-hikers on clear streams suit this system. International travelers facing viral risks need a purifier.
Pros and cons
- Fast flow when squeezed
- Threads onto common bottles
- CPC hose fills hydration bladders
- Tool-free shake or backflush cleaning
- Does not remove viruses
- Spec weight figures disagree
- Two liter bag limits batch size
Performance notes
Flow depends on squeeze pressure or bag height, and both drop as the fibers clog with debris. Shaking or backflushing clears the fibers and restores flow during a trip.
