Description of Platypus Sport Bottle
Perfect for backpacking or travel. This portable container is shaped to fit your hand and weighs 80% less than conventional hard plastic bottles.The Platypus Sport Bottle is an ideal hydration solution for backpacking or travel. This portable container is shaped to fit your hand, and its collapsible design allows you to roll it up for easy, compact storage as you consume its contents. Perhaps best of all, it weighs 80% less than conventional hard plastic bottles, a stat sure to please backpacking purists who love to travel light.
The 100% BPA-free, non-taste-retaining bottle measures five-by-7.5-inches (W x H) and weighs only 0.7 ounces, and can be stashed almost anywhere for maximum portability, but don't mistake its soft-sided design for a lack of rugged durability. The Platypus sport bottle is tough enough to be frozen or boiled, and a gusseted bottom allows you to set the bottle down upright.
About Platypus
The Platypus sport bottle is from a company named Cascade Designs, started by three friends and former Boeing engineers--Jim Lea, Neil Anderson, and John Burroughs--who were laid off from the aeronautics giant in 1971. Outdoor enthusiasts looking for the next great gear idea, they went on to design the world's first self-inflating mattress, the Therm-A-Rest.
Today, Cascade Designs remains a private, family-owned company that has grown to be one of the most respected outdoor manufacturers in the world. The company has achieved that distinction through a combination of the Therm-a-Rest brand's enduring popularity, the acquisition of strong companies with superior products and shared visions, and by sticking to the same fundamental principles Cascade Designs was founded upon: providing relevant and innovative products, exceptional quality, and service that exceeds customer expectations.
Sports reviews of Platypus Sport Bottle
Customer Review: A have a question...
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I have several of these and they are great for storing (non-carbonated) liquids in the refrigerator.
QUESTION. Are they safe to carry liquids inside suitcases on airplanes? Mouthwash, shower soap, wine, etc.
Customer Review: Neat and easy but a tad awkward
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
The l liter version is larger than I thought. I thought it would be more wide for some reason. If you want it for every day use, the .5 liter version would probably be better.
After you finish off the water, folding it up is super easy so it is good to carry around and refill when needed.
I wouldn't recommend the 1 liter version if you plan on carrying it around, but if you can set it somewhere then it is just as convenient. You do need two hands to drink this, unless you are very talented or don't mind spilling.
Customer Review: Good for ice

I like this bottle because it is one of the few re-usable bottles you can freeze. I put it in my lunch box so I have cold water at work without buying a new bottle of water. However, it is hard to drink out of since the bag is floppy, so I keep a cup by my desk.Customer Review: so far so good

Just got it yesterday and it seemed to work nicely. I called their customer service about the temperature tolerance of these bottles, and they said it would withstand hot boiling water, which makes this bottle even more useful for me!Customer Review: Water Bottle with No Top.
Sport shop rating: 1 Stars
I am very disappointed with this item. The description clearly states that it comes with sports Push-Pull top. It did NOT. What good is a water bottle without any top. This item was sold by Amazon, so there is no seller feedback. I guess I will just throw it away.
