4.0 out of 5 stars A trade off: Convenience for so-so durability, August 16, 2007

This review is from: Platypus Platy Sport Collapsible Water Bottle (Sports)

I bought my first one maybe 6 years ago, back when they had lifetime guarantees. I've never tried to return them after they break because they were cheap enough that their cost didn't justify the time expense necessary to go through with the process. I've used mine for the gym and work. I've since gone through 3 more (including one of the 500ml ones) and noticed that they don't have lifetime guarantees anymore! I would say they last about 1-2 years. Not bad for seven bucks. Even in the heat, the water is as tasteless as a Nalgene bottle (which would be the less convenient more durable competitor). However, the light weight and malleability let it fold into your bag MUCH easier, which is why I keep coming back. When it breaks, it will be by the spout - it will just leak one day where the hard plastic meets the bag...hopefully not on anything important (don't get too comfortable sticking it in your laptop bag).

As an international flight attendant I take this on all my flights.
I have had one of these for about 10 or plus years. I have used it heavily. It is worn out now, and I am ready for another one.

Travel tip:
If you are cold at the hotel you can fill it with hot water for your bed. Just wrap a towel around it if it is too hot.
This thing is sweet.

3.0 out of 5 stars Different water bottle, September 8, 2007

This is certainly a cool and attention-getting water bottle. Be aware that the two-liter size is very large and probably too big for every day use. Because it is not rigid, you need two hands to drink from it (or spill it all over yourself.) Can be frozen.
