About Platypus
The Platypus sport bottle is from a company named Cascade Designs, started by three friends and former Boeing engineers — Jim Lea, Neil Anderson, and John Burroughs — who were laid off from the aeronautics giant in 1971. Outdoor enthusiasts looking for the next great gear idea, they went on to design the world’s first self-inflating mattress, the Therm-A-Rest.

Today, Cascade Designs remains a private, family-owned company that has grown into a respected outdoor gear manufacturer, thanks to a combination of the Therm-a-Rest brand’s enduring popularity, the acquisition of companies with superior products and shared visions, and by sticking to the principle of providing relevant, innovative, quality products.

Great for Sawyer Mini gravity feed filter setups I’m using this as the top bag of a backpacking-friendly gravity-feed water filter system using a Sawyer Mini. The threaded neck of this bladder perfectly screws into the Sawyer Mini inlet, and I just use a piece of old hydration tube with a male quick disconnect for my Camelbak system as the outlet. Now I can fill this Platypus with dirty water, hang it on a tree, and let it gravity filter clean water right into my hydration bladder in my pack while I take a break. It’s very lightweight and…
