Product Description

The Platypus SoftBottle Water Bottle with Push-Pull Cap is not just an outdoor essential, but an everyday, everyone, everywhere essential. Reusable, and refillable, it’s significantly lighter in weight than a hard water bottle of comparable volume and, when empty, collapses to take up a fraction of the space. While it’s designed for outdoor pursuits like camping, thru-hiking, and backpacking, it’s also perfect for travel, when space is at a premium, and is a safe option for the pool and beach, or anywhere that glass is impractical or hazardous. BPA-free, BPS-free, and phthalate-free, its food-grade polyethylene liner does not taste like plastic and does not retain flavors, so it can hold water one day, and wine the next. When filled, the base expands so that the bottle stands upright; Included Push-Pull Cap conveniently dispenses contents without removing the cap. The Platypus Ultralight Collapsible SoftBottle is compatible with all Platypus caps and drink tubes. Available in two sizes: 1.0-Liter size weighs just 1.2 ounces, and measures 13 x 6 inches, 0.5-Liter size weighs just 0.8 ounces, and measures 12 x 5 inches. Made in the USA.

Like the concept, not the execution
3 out of 5 stars
Like the concept, not the execution
[Price] Currently $13/per 1L bag. The 1L water bottle in the photos was $5 from the airport (overpriced), which I have used many times after my trip and could continue using (presumably less off-gassing/plastic leaching the more you use). [Space-efficiency] The bag is not particularly space-efficient, as you can see in the photos. Although I can appreciate the design on the bottom which allows the bag to stand upright, it wastes a lot of space. Given how large the bag appears relative to the bottle, I assumed it actually held more than the stated 1L, but was surprised to find it doesn't when emptying its contents into the bottle shown. It seems the designer(s) primarily prioritized "empty-state flatness", but I think they should have compromised on the empty state geometry a bit and optimized more for the "full-state", even if it meant the empty-state was not 100% flat. [Packability] While I appreciate that the bag has a rounded perimeter, the edges still catch on (and potentially would wear over time) the water bottle pockets and nearby seams of my backpacks. I have never had this issue with a water bottle, as it's always just smoothly slid straight in. I also took a photo of both types of water bottles in the side pockets of one of my backpacks (canvas/non-stretchy pockets), but can't tell which one encroaches more on the interior space. The bag may actually be superior here, given that it has a more flattened as opposed to circular top-down profile, and so doesn't waste space in a bottle pocket like a typical water bottle does. [Durability] Of the two bags I bought, each inflated with slightly different creases/pinch points on the bottom fold (where other reviewers said it eventually leaked from). It does seem to catch a bit on each bags unique pinch points when filling/emptying, and doesn't inspire confidence in terms of longevity. There's a bit of that on the top and sides as well, but I'm less concerned about it there. Again, something I have never worried about with a typical water bottle. I think they need to rework the design to avoid these sharp catch points, and ensure things expand/compress smoothly. [Conclusion] Quite expensive (at current price of $13) for what it is, given space-efficiency and packability issues (and especially durability issues). I feel just reusing a typical plastic water bottle may be preferable and less of a hassle. If they could rework the design and how the bag inflates/deflates (avoiding pinches, and providing a more rounded form when fully inflated), it could go from questionable/annoying to being a clear winner. I may update this review after traveling with 2 of them for 3 months.

    I bought the 1-liter Platypus collapsible bottle for my vacation, and it met my expectations.
    The bottle is incredibly lightweight and collapses down to a compact size, making it easy to fit in my backpack without taking up much space. The only negative, and it’s a minor one, is drying it out between uses. It takes a couple of days to completely dry.

    I have carpal tunnel and joint problems so I try to seek out ergonomic products. What's the healthiest vessel to drink water out of was also a concern of mine because I drink about a gallon (3.75 L) of water per day. The answer to that is glass, and I was in the market for a glass water bottle initially, but came to the conclusion that glass is just inconvenient. Mason jar styles with handles are fairly durable, but they're damn heavy, and you also look like an obnoxious hipster carrying one around.

    Then there's the glass water bottles with neoprene sleeves, but they still break very easily, and are still too heavy and too small.

    I wanted a bottle that's close to 32 oz or 1L, and I'm so glad I stumbled across Platypus products! This review is getting long so I'll just list the pros and cons:

    PROS:
    -Most lightweight reusable water bottle EVER! Doesn't make my hand tired from drinking or carrying it.
    -BPA free, but still plastic, that's good enough for me because I'm not a paranoid little snowflake about everything (I mean come on people, "lighten up" (ha) a little) It's just the most practical, honestly.
    -Anti microbial lining!!!! I didn't eve realize this until later, but had been noticing the water never got that nasty stale water bottle taste, even if forgotten for a few days.
    -Perfect for airports. Chug all your water before security, tuck it neatly in your bag, fill it up after security.
    -Easy to clean.
    -Seems quite durable as long as you don't puncture it with something sharp or something. You can fill it with water and throw it in a backpack and it never leaks.

    CONS:
    -Small mouth opening makes it annoying to fill up with a Brita pitcher; you have to be patient.
    -I'm scared I'm going to lose the cap and then I'll be screwed as far as portability goes
    -Sometimes slightly awkward to drink out of, might look a little funny.

    That's it! The pros far outweigh the cons! Get this bottle now!

    Our family has used Platypus soft bottles for a while now, and I accidentally left one in an airport. That's when I realized how much I loved these since I missed not having it with me.
    When unused and prior to going through security at an airport, you can roll this baby up and tuck it in a side pocket of your backpack. Once you're through security, just fill it up at a fill station. As we drink on our flights, we press the excess air out (to minimize size), tighten the cap, and store it back in our backpack under our seat. It makes easy access for water on a flight so easy. Never had any leak problems with these either. Just problems leaving them at airports apparently. :)

    I have been a consumer of Platypus products for many years and have used them as they've evolved from thick plastic to this space age light polyethylene plastic. I have never had a problem with the quality of the bottle. I have never had a leak or had a bottle damaged by regular use. They fold up into small bundles for traveling and make excellent everyday reusable water bottles. This newer style feels fragile when you receive it but is as tough and reliable as any Platypus bottle I've ever used while being much lighter.

    My only issue with the Platypus is the cap. Unfortunately I have lost more caps than I care to admit. If you lose the cap and can't replace it, especially when you are hiking or away from water sources the bottle becomes nearly useless. I always carry spares from older bottles and the cap is a relatively standard size so you can usually find some kind of replacement, so it hasn't been a huge problem yet. If I had any suggestion for improving the design of these bottles it would be to include a cap which can be attached to the bottle like a gas cap is tethered to a car.

    Even with this issue, I can't imagine not using Platypus bottles when backpacking or traveling. They are a great value for a great product.

    The plastic is not a those soft plastic which tend to rip. I've tried a few other soft bottles, these ones are the best so far. Just make sure to clean them out and dry well.

    These bottles are great. Not much to say it's as advertised a 500ml bottle that collapses down quite small. Doesn't leak and holds up well even to accidental freezing. I use it for snowboarding, golfing, or any other time you don't want to carry a clumsy empty water bottle after you drink it.

    Great for flat packing and travel, just roll it up when empty into as small a space as you want and then fill it up when you get through security, the cap has a tight seal and has yet to leak through countless days being squashed in a rucksack whilst being pressure by a lab coat and folders and the quality is what you would expect of a platypus product, I will get another platypus bottle in the future should this one break due to my own negligence.
