soft-water bottle
I have been using Platypus water bottles for about 25 yrs. They are so handy - weigh almost nothing, fit in a purse and go flat when empty. Always carry a 1 liter (which I usually use as a hot water bottle plus 2 of the .5 liter bottles for drinking. I need to replace the .5 liter size, but I can't find them in the catalog now. Is that size not made anymore? I really like that size and use it the most, so I hope that it is still available!

I have one of these
I have one of these that’s 15 years old and it has never let me down other than the color starting to get a bit yellow. That said, I bought a new one for my ski pack. I prefer the closure cap, I just feel it’s more secure. Wasn’t sure how I’d feel about the narrow waist, but it actually allows you to hold and drink from the bottle like you would any other bottle. Good bombproof soft bottle that packs down to nothing and should last a long time.

Platypus options
What has happened to the 17 oz 0.5 liter bottle? Can't find a retailer that has them anywhere, sometimes you just need smaller, the 17 oz was great for Chest Rig carry, it wasn't only great for carrying water but I used one for my cooking oil also.

One of the two bottles
One of the two bottles has a tiny leak. But overall I like these bottles.

Lightweight but cap does not seal
I bought two of these but the cap does not seal. As others have said the cap does not fit correctly on the bottle so water leaks out. A litre of water inside my rucksack is no fun!!

Just buying replacements. Good quality
Just buying replacements. Good quality soft bottle. I do wish they still had the style with a carabiner clip spot.

Good, better with the insulating case they don't have anymore.
Very practical. Once emptied, it weighs next to nothing. I bought my first one a long time ago with an insulating case that allowed easy attachment to a belt or backpack. Pls make insulating cases like this available again. It makes this water bottle very useful.

These bottles worked out great
These bottles worked out great for our multi day backpack trip! They are lite and fold up nicely when storing them away. They can be a challenge when cleaning the inside, but I do like how they’re clear, which I think helps to allow sunlight into the container and kill things, along with helping to evaporate any left over water, when I’m finished using the container.

Light weight for day hikes
I really like this because it’s the lightest weight way to carry water in my pack. The one flaw is that it is easy to lose the screw cap and they don’t sell replacements. Maybe the cap should be attached.
