Platypus Platy Bottle

Read All 13 Reviews

Item No. 5197

The 100% BPA- and taste-free Platy Bottles by Platypus when compared to a hard bottle of equal volume, weigh 80% less and take up a mere one fifth of the space when empty. Stash a few in your purse, breeze through airport security without wasting room in your carry-on, or just fill one with your favorite earthly grog and hit the trail. Collapsibility is versatility and you'll wonder how you ever got along without it.

"Convientent and light weight." 11/30/11

Great light weight water pouch. I like carrying this for when i'm at camp. I like having lot's of water at camp. I'm lazy and hate to refill my water more than once or twice.

"Stow-away" 08/15/11

I picked up one of these once I realized that it holds more than two nalgenes worth of fluid for the same price. The compact design got my attention as well, as I can roll it up to the size of a small TV remote! The bottle is a little tipsy (I found this out after spilling half of it on my friend's sleeping bag) but just remember to cap it and your set!

"Good product" 06/20/11

I use it in my river kayak. It's great because it doesen;t roll around like a water bottle.I wish it had a attachment loop like the 1 liter model because when my kayak capsizedmy other bottle ended up floating down the river., also it should come with a pop top lidbecause the screw off cap can be easily dropped overboard in rough water

"Great" 05/31/11

I put this in my dog's pack this past weekend when we went backpacking. I got the type with the screw on cap and it stayed nice and tight in her pack the whole time! Even though my hyper lab was running around with it in her pack, it didn't leak at all! When she finished all her water, I just folded it up and let her carry something of mine, so I thought it was great! Not sure how she felt about that though! haha!

"Good water bottle... plastic... squishy sack thing..." 04/26/11

The platy bottle is not the best of the platypus selection. It is good though. Its a good 2 liters and has a nice structure. The best part about it is once your done drinkin' you can fold it up and stuff it in your pocket or pack. Its not a bad water bottle, its just not the best choice of the brands small items. i

"The best "bang for the ounce" in light weight backpacking." 02/23/11

I have several of these Platy bottles and absolutely love them. They are surprisingly durable for the relatively thin and very lightweight material that they are made out of. The 2L version weighs in at just 1.3 oz, and the 2.5L will still be well under 2 oz. Also nice is the fact that these bottles don't leave a nasty plastic aftertaste in your water and they are BPA free. Want a super cheap and light weight hydration system? Buy the 'Platypus Drink Tube Kit' and connect it to one of these bottles and presto! I always carry an extra Platy bottle in my pack just in case.

"Light and durable water bottle." 12/12/10

I use this bottle for trips where I may have to carry an entire days worth of water or when water supplies are infrequent. It packs down to and ways almost nothing when not in use and works perfectly with the hose system from my Platypus bladder, so when that is empty I just have to switch the hose and I keep drinking! It's made from the same material as other platypus bottles so you know it can be trusted.

"Great and lightweight" 11/11/10

No complaints about this bottle, though it's actually more like a bag. You can fold it up when it's empty. The cap feels secure, water does not taste like plastic either.

"Yes, please" 09/21/10

Keeps your water cold and doesn't leak. It's also very light.

"Easy to pack, light weight, but has it's cons." 08/16/10

Pros- light weight, easy to pack away when empty, easy to tell how much water you have left.Cons- flimsy when getting empty, easy to squeeze and accidently spill water when handling, hard to get back into backpacks side pockets because it has no stiff structure.Overall if you need a packable bottle this is the one to get. The con's aren't deal breakers, and I think the packability ( I rolled mine up) might out weigh them. Just don't use you're kung fu grip while drinking and you'll be fine.

"UL for everyone!" 07/16/10

You can't find a lighter and more compact bottle. A nalgene weighs 6.2 ounces and this weighs 0.8 ounces, think about it. When its empty just fold it up and it slips inside your pack. A good cheap way for everyone to starting dropping pack weight.

"Hard Plastic and Aluminum Bottles don't work for UL people" 04/27/10

Plain and simple this is what you use for UL backpacking. They are extremely lightweight, dependable, and they compact very small. Theres not much to say about them other than great product.
