Platypus says

Our largest flexible water carrier is made with our premium taste-free materials and is ideal for storing and dispensing water for groups. It features a wide Big Zip™ opening for easy filling and cleaning, convenient carry handle, and a flexible design that packs small.

Our Verdict

Its not always possible to camp very close to a water source (nor desirable in some cases) carrying one of these adds next to nothing to your pack weight but saves lots of trips to bring water back to your camp.
