I played with one in sportsmans, thought about replacing my Nalgene with it for backpacking. The plastic felt a bit cheesy though

I haven't used that bottle in particular but I do use the Platypus collapsible bottles frequently to carry excess water for camp etc. I still use my normal bottle for the usual day to day drinking though.
Absolutely love them!

^^^This^^^ I use them to carry water for the dog in the game bag on my bird vest. Way better than carrying a bottle in that situation. They have held up well in a year or so of use.

maybe get the "non cheesy" model ??

I use 'em for whiskey all the time, have since they first came out - very good quality and a good resource to have

 

[Randle]

Which one do you have? Gkprice

I've used a Vapur bottle that I got as a gift for 2 years now with no issues. It's been pretty handy really.

Platys for me going on 3 years, no issues. Avoid the source ones, they leak

Usually have a couple platypus. Small rubberband around the neck comes in handy when empty so you can roll them up to stow.

$0.01 tip of the day.

Platy bottles here as well.
Kinda prefer the flat shape.

I really like the collapsible ones myself. I use Vapur ones as well as the Platypus ones. Great way to keep bulk down in the pack. Easy to roll up and stash when empty.

If I'm not pressed for room we usually take a few 2 liter bottles for camp water. Suck the air out of them and stick them under a strap. They are tough and you can probably find one laying around the house.

Those look pretty cool.

Platy bag here as well. That 1/2 gal bag with the little handle cutout is perfect for backpack hunts...but i'm not sure they make it anymore.

for $13....this is a no brainer
