A Pack Friendly Necessity

By Jeff Gerhard Ranked #1 - Water Bottles August 17, 2009

These containers last a long time. I still have my first 2L from @ least ten years ago. It still works but has since been retired from backpacking trips. Two 2L containers will hold enough water for 1 1/2 days of normal use. Empty they weigh only 1oz. & fold down to nothing. The ability to stand on their own helps while filling. I have never had one leak, anytime, anywhere even in the creases caused by repeated folding, making them extremely dependable. After repeated usage, they could possibly turn an off-yellow color which is totally normal. This has no effect on the contents. Platypus has a patch repair kit available but I've never had to use it.
