<description>Platypus Quick-Disconnect Kit&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;Yeah... so I&#x26;#39;m not really buying the previous answer regarding the number of male ends this thing comes with because the answer was completely different from the picture. Does this come with 1 female end for the hydration side and 1 male end for the drink tube side as the picture indicates or does it come with an extra male end you can put on your filter to back feed like with the camelback that is currently out of stock?</description>

<description>Platypus PlatyPreserve&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;I&#x26;#39;ve got this product.  Only question I have is, besides the fancy printing on the sides and the position of the spout (and a slightly more crinkly feel), is there anything different about the tech of the PlatyPreserve compared to a regular Platy bottle?</description>
