Description

The Platy Bottle is a water bottle made by Platypus. It has an average rating of 5 stars (out of 5), based on 1 user review.

Here's what other sites are saying:

From Campmor:
"All Platypus bottles are made with lightweight, yet durable, 3-ply plastic laminate and welded construction. They're so lightweight that the Platypus 1 weighs only 20 percent as much as a conventional 1-liter bottle! Unlike standard plastic water bottles, Platypus bottles are lined with food-grade polyethylene film that won't flavor your drinking water with a yucky plastic taste. Platypus collapsible water bottles are unlike any other bottle or reservoir you've ever seen. They stand on a stable base, yet can be flattened to conform to small spaces and roll up when empty. They can be frozen and boiled! The 1 liter Platypus weighs 0.6 oz."

From Backcountry.com:
"The Platypus Platy Bottle is a portable fluid container that's perfect for backpacking or travel. Platypus shaped the Platy Bottle to fit comfortably in your hand making it easy to drink on the go. The Platy Bottle is significantly lighter in weight than conventional hard plastic bottles, making it an ideal choice for serious backpackers. Add a Platypus Taste-Free Drink Tube to the Platy Bottle and you have a hands-free hydration system."

From Moosejaw:
"Platypus Platy Bottle (Fall 2009) The 100% BPA- and taste-free Platy Bottles by Platypus when compared to a hard bottle of equal volume, weigh 80% less and take up a mere one fifth of the space when empty. Stash a few in your purse, breeze through airport security without wasting room in your carry-on, or just fill one with your favorite earthly grog and hit the trail. Collapsibility is versatility and you'll wonder how you ever got along without it. Capacity: 1L, Closure Cap: 34 fl. oz / 1 liters 2L: 70 fl. oz / 2 liters .5L: 17 fl. oz / .5 liters 1L, Push-Pull Cap: 35 fl. oz / 1 liters Weight: 1L, Closure Cap: .9 oz / 24 g 2L: 1.3 oz / 36 g .5L: .8 oz / 22 g 1L, Push-Pull Cap: 1 oz / 26 g Width: 1L, Closure Cap: 5.8 in / 15 cm 2L: 7.5 in / 19 cm .5L: 5.5 in / 14 cm 1L, Push-Pull Cap: 5.8 in / 15 cm Length: 1L, Closure Cap: 11 in / 28 cm 2L: 13.8 in / 35 cm .5L: 8.5 in / 22 cm 1L, Push-Pull Cap: 11 in / 28 cm Film:(all sizes) Nylon / PE"

From Altrec Outdoors:
"Empty hard plastic bottles have an annoying habit of consuming precious pack storage space when you don't need them. That's why Platypus designed bottles like this one-liter Platypus 1 with a plastic laminate that flattens and rolls up when you don't need it. A gusseted base allows for free standing convenience in camp and at rest stops. This one has a closure cap that accommodates other liquids like sauces and syrups--the right sort of culinary touches for a sophisticated base camp. If you want a Platypus for drinking, check out the Platypus 1 with the Push-Pull Cap."

Reviewed by Winston, Mar 20, 2008

"I have used many different kinds of water bottles these are by far the best. There is no excess with this design. They quite simple work great and are durable. I still have the firs one that I purchased 6 years ago and it has never leaked.
