Platy Sports Bottle (1 Liter)

The collapsible design is handy, but be aware that it takes two hands to use and will not work in any cup/bottle holders. The biggest problem for me is that they are difficult to wash and take 2-3 days to air dry.

I bought two of these as water backup for hiking. The Camelbak is my main water carrier; the platy bottles were to keep my reserves, "just in case". It is a good bottle, seems sturdy enough, but I wouldn''t want to be drinking out of it on a regular basis. It seems a bit clumsy with the one loop, and the need to protect it means it stays in my pack. I don''t think you can have it on the outside unless they make a carrier for it.

All in all, if you''re looking for something to keep at the ready while on the trail, the platy bottles won''t cut it. If you''re looking for a reserve to stay in the pack, then the platy bottles are perfect. When you need them, just dump them in the Camelbak and fold up the platy bottles.
