Well, for starters, I don't like having such a small opening for a bladder that I suck on all day. It is a PITA to fill.

The Zips don't allow you to connect a drinking hose to it. My understanding is that they are just canteens. I know I'll be corrected if I'm wrong.

Caps are easy to lose

I have a Camelback which I love and also a Nalgene bladder that I love even more. It has snap-on connectors for the hose to the bladder, very light-weight and wide opening.

otherwise.....I guess Platy's are fine. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
