Platypus Platy Bottle
Best lightweight hydration solution for space conscious backpackers and travelers.
This is the ultimate solution for weight-conscious hikers who hate carrying empty bulk. It collapses down to almost nothing when empty, saving precious pack space, though you sacrifice the structural rigidity of a traditional hard-sided bottle. It is a simple, taste-free essential that prioritizes efficiency above all else.
