I purchased this bowl to use as a water dish for my bassett hound that go hiking with us. they have long ears and the soft side collapsible water bowls found at pet supply stores did not work well. The X-Bowl is a great solution for a food or water dish for your K-9 Buddy.

The X-Bowl is a legit backcountry bowl. It's highly collapsible, lightweight, and the bottom can be used as a cutting board. These things are food safe, can go down to 40F, up to 356F, can be used with boiling water, and are dishwasher safe. Talk about bombproof. These things rock!

these are great bowls for backpacking and camping but I have found that the collapseable tupperwareworks better for me just because it comes with a lid and I can use it to store things if I need to. These bowls are easy to clean

These X-Bowls are the cats meow!!! Packs tight, functional, easy-to-clean and they don't collapse with food in them. what else could I say? If I'm not eating food directly out of the package I'm eating it from the X-Bowl!

This thing is durable, packs small, and is easy to clean. It might be slightly heavier than some other option, but it's worth the extra half ounce. If you need a backpacking bowl that will last forever, get the X-Bowl!

I like this bowl because its light, small and made of durable rubber and plastic. The only thing I don't like about it, is that it won't stay collapsed. It immediately pops half way open, but it''s still small enough to pack.

light and easy to clean.

So glad these finally came back into stock. I recommend buying one now if you are considering it cause they sell like hot cakes and for good reason!

The only bowl or plate I ever take camping now. Slides right into my pack or dry box, no more trying to find other things to nest into the bowl that never really fit right.

Holds the smell of everything I put in it. After awhile I could not get it past my nose. Perhaps it is me, but I would not buy one again.

Took up very little room in the pack. Very light!! Was easy to wash out. Heated up my food beyond a temp I could eat without affecting the bowl...

can't get much better than this. I'm gonna have to buy another for my car camping dry box (my other bowl doesn't collapse and is taking up way too much space). I've been using this all summer for bike-camping trips. I used it for an overnight tour in the spring as well where i crammed all my stuff in to a day pack and it was so nice to just slide this bowl in flat. wish i could choose my color, but oh well, it's great either way!
