Collapsible Water Bottle | 25oz

I am a bit of a water flask/bottle junkie, and have numerous insulated bottles and Nalgene bottles. I needed a backup water bottle for travel that I can collapse when empty. This works very well, collapses easily, and the folding straw works well. I don't think this can be improved. In fact, I should get a second one!

I love these collapsable water bottles. I liked so much I bought 3. We like the large version best because you can collapse part way and it is a smaller bottle. I love that it collapsed flat and it had a carrying case. I know many reviews said the clips broke but we usually carried inside our bags but I also purchased a better hook and it worked great. Never had any leaks and was good quality. It is not a hard plastic or rubber so it has some give but we had no trouble.

Many people talked about cleaning and the rubber taste but I used the method of filling with water and sliced lemons, freezing and then cleaning in the sink and it worked perfect. I did this every other week and cleaned by hand the other times.

This is great for traveling! Stores flat when not in use so it’s easy to travel with.

The item is as described and performs as expected. To expand, simply pull each end. Sometimes it is difficult to expand it fully until there is liquid in it. Collapses into a convenient size. It is a bit heavier than expected and after several uses, the rubber smell hasn't gone away. Hopefully with more use and washes, the smell will go away.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:
I got thus for my son to take on his back packing trips. He said it was perfect light weight and all the other boys wanted one. He also clips it on while he goes for runs. No tears and doesn't smell.
