http://www.15-below.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=163

Found it here for a bit cheaper;

May have to order off the second site as 15-below take 5 days to deliver, where as with the second link I can choose delivery for 2-3 days..
If you need it quick blacks and millets sell them. Go outdoors are also worth a look.
Yeah had a look at go outdoors, costs a little bit more, are they good though?
Will check out blacks and millets.
Edit: Can't find much about blacks and millets on Google.....
OH!, there's a place called Blacks and a place called Millets :lol:
Edit2: Blacks and Millets don't sell Platypus.
Right, so gooutdoors.co.uk, I can get a 2 litre hoser for £17.40, wanted a 1 litre but 2 litre will be OK. Seem's an OK deal?
blacks and millets are owned by the same company. I tend to get kit from go outdoors when I'm visiting Sheffield, have had some bits mail order as well. As to the platypus I have several bottles, and a single hose. Very handy bits of kit and very strong, much better than normal water bottles as they store flat and you can vary the bulk depending on how much you put in them.
Sounds good, £17.40 inc delivery too (forgot to add that)
Will order from there then, delivery is fast usually yeah?
Really need it for Saturday! :p.
The hoser is all I need too right? I don't next any extra parts? I can use it (basically) straight out of the box?
So is the hoser the whole kit that I need to use it? (Sorry for the bump, want to get it ordered by tonight!) :)
The hoser is the bottle, hose, and bite valve. Thats all you need.
Bit cheaper http://www.summits.co.uk/acatalog/Pl...er_1.html#a268
Will get it from that link then.

Parcel force better deliver it in time!
Is that site good? You ordered from there before?
Used them a while ago, were good. Might be a good idea to phone and check stock / order.
Have used one of the bigger plats as a pillow before :) Handy bit of kit. They also do a model with a bigger opening, think you can put ice cubes in the opening.
Bugger it, will just order it and keep my fingers crossed.
Thanks a lot Flibb, you've been very helpful!
Edit: Bugger, can't buy from that site as I don't have a credit card, just debit >_<.
Just checked and there is a millets in Scarborough, if you really need a plat by friday give them a bell. They stock them in my local branch.
www.wiggle.co.uk do loads, look in the hydration system spares bit.
Or look into camelbak's unbottle range, no space taken up inside your pack then. And if you can afford it, get a MULE, awesome little pack, easily fits everything you need for a long day in the saddle, especially if you share bits like tools/pumps etc round wiht your mates.
Really? Well it's too late now, ordered it already.Quote:

Went into town to have a look for it - found it, got myself the Hoser 2 for £16.
Ingenius invention! :D.
Thanks for the help guys.
Site note: Bad thing about it is, once you start drinking you want more and more! (weird I know)
You stay hydrated http://forums.hexus.net/images/icons/icon14.gif
but you also end up peeing more, which can be awkward when on exposed hillsides http://forums.hexus.net/images/icons/icon13.gif
Yeah, had that problem once too many times!Quote:
