Where to buy:
Designed for traveling and outdoor adventures, the Platypus Platy Collapsible Water Bottle is a reusable, heavy-duty plastic bladder that can carry up to 2 liters of liquids. Once it’s folded, it will easily fit right inside a small pocket—perfect for your carry-on suitcase and hiking backpack.
It’s BPA-, BPS-, and phthalate-free as well as made from food-grade polyethylene lining, which doesn’t taste like plastic or retain flavors.
The Platypus Platy Collapsible Water Bottle is very practical and versatile. It can serve you as a water bottle, an ice block, and a dirty water bag for filtering water for cooking when hiking or camping. However, the new threads are not compatible with Sawyer or other standard thread devices. It only accepts the Platypus GravityWorks water filtration system.
All in all, this is a great versatile, light, functional, and affordable outdoor gear.
