Great product

Does exactly what it is supposed to. Holds water

no leaks and is compact and easy to use

This was a great asset for camping! We will probably buy a few more. We bought 2 and if we go somewhere where this is no running water, 4 would probably be ok.

We purchased 2 of these because we lost our water source due to a major leak. We live in an RV and needed a product that are very durable and can be stored easily. We used the water carriers and were surely glad to have them, they worked exactly like the advertising.

Read Best Reviews of Coghlan''s Expandable Water Carrier Here

I had a week long backpacking trip into the backwoods and this worked perfectly. Nice and sturdy. No problems with leaks the whole trip. Not exactly rigid but definitely formed. I agree with another reviewer who said the 2 gallon size is best. It fit right into the pack I had and even when full was still manageable to carry, weight-wise. The expandability is very nice you can probably get around a gallon into the more rigid part of it before the sides even start expanding.

Now though, if you''re not getting this for being able to take water with you when you >need< to have water with you, you might be disappointed. The plastic taste that at least one other reviewer mentioned is the truth. I filled it up and let the water sit a couple times before I left to try to leach the taste out, and even at the end of the trip the taste hadn''t really diminished. It''s not bad, but it is noticeable. I wouldn''t want to use this for any kind of long-term water storage and there''s better things to take if you''re just car camping, but for backpacking or a grab-some-stuff-and-go situation it''s the best.

Want Coghlan''s Expandable Water Carrier Discount?

I''ve used other collapsible plastic water containers over the years when camping. This product solves the problem of the container wanting to roll off of the table or bench, especially when full. The integrated handle makes this container easier to support when filling, and to carry when full.

After only a few uses, I noticed that a leak had developed in the cap. Closer inspection revealed that the thin white rubber gasket in the cap, that seals against the lip of the jug, had shifted and folded over a bit, causing the leak. I moved the gasket back to its original position and that fixed the leak, until the gasket shifted again. The gasket seems a bit too small for the purpose.

Due to the leak problem, I''m changing my rating from 5 stars to 3 stars.
