Platypus Quickdraw

When I was hiking that through hike, I'd roll up my filter inside of the bag and over time. I think that created an issue with the seams around the li...

It covers my butt and the sleeves can go over my hands too. It works very well.

I always believed that Cascade Designs might not be the first to market with a product, but when they did get there, they did it right. Not so on this one - it appears they are trying to take back market from Sawyer, and it's doubtful they'll succeed.

Instead of using normal threads that you can start at any rotation, it has two protruding plastic pi...

With the platypus QuickDraw I’ve been using the platy bag it came with and I’ve found that has the best flow rate. When I use it with my 2L evernew, it’s weirdly slower.
