User Review: Platypus Platy Bottle

Summary

Lightweight, durable, and folds down to nothing.

A great bottle for your water needs when in camp or when moving.  A lighter option to the hard bottles and less bulky...barely takes up any pack space when not in use.  Price wise, it's inexpensive and in my opinion, a good investment if you're looking to lighten your pack weight.

Manufacturer Specs:

• Capacity: 70 fl. oz / 2 liters
• Weight: 1.3 oz / 36 g (per my scale, 1.2 oz.)
• Width: 7.5 in / 19 cm
• Length: 13.8 in / 35 cm
• Film: Nylon / Polyethylene
• Spout material: Polyethylene
• Cap material: Polypropylene
• Country of Origin: Made in Seattle, USA

I would recommend this piece of gear often overlooked for your water carrying needs. It's definitely lighter than a hard bottle container plus it can fold flat and stowed away in your pack without taking up much space.
