Good product. Light and Easy to carry when empty and holds a lot of water when full.

An amazing product, it was exactly what I needed for traveling. Collapses to nothing, you can fill it up anywhere. Also great for airport security and the no liquid ban.

I love these bottles. I ordered one for my wife so she could carry it in her purse and fill it when needed. She liked it so much, I ended up ordering two more since they are so convenient. It is easy to fill up at a drinking fountain or a faucet since it is a soft bottle. It is also compatible with the Platypus tube and valve I have for my large hydration pack. Highly recommended.

I used this in travelling for two months and loved it every day. It's easy to fill, easy to drink out of, compact, stands up on its own and doesn't sweat excessively. The push pull cap goes on and off and up and down easily, though is a bit soft and has some indentations in it from being in my bag with harder items. The water can sit in the platypus overnight and still be fine (i never left it in for longer without consuming and replacing the contents).

If you put drink mix packages in, some granules and coloring agents will get into the creases at the bottom and around the joint connecting the bladder to the hard plastic opening where the cap screws on. Excessive washing with boiling water and dish soap won't get them out, so that's a little gross to me, but it doesn't affect the taste of later beverages in there. Nothing will dye the platy either, like coffee and powder drinks.

Even after being jostled around a backpack while full, through 3 countries for the past 2 months since its purchase the Platy has been faithful and incredibly handy.



4 out of 5 stars Neat and easy but a tad awkward   July 18, 2008
The l liter version is larger than I thought. I thought it would be more wide for some reason. If you want it for every day use, the .5 liter version would probably be better.

After you finish off the water, folding it up is super easy so it is good to carry around and refill when needed.

I wouldn't recommend the 1 liter version if you plan on carrying it around, but if you can set it somewhere then it is just as convenient. You do need two hands to drink this, unless you are very talented or don't mind spilling.
