New push/pull caps all leak
I've been using these collapsible water bottles for years only replacing them when I've lost them. They last forever, fit in anything, weigh almost nothing when empty, and I've never had any problems with them, UNTIL... I couldn't get the closure cap bottles locally any more. I bought 3 bottles with push/pull type caps and every one of them leaks terribly. The threading is already warped from trying to close it fully enough to stop it from leaking. It gets all over the inside of my bag and leaked hand filtered water I filled it with during a backpacking trip into my pack and then again all over my tent when I knocked it over accidentally during the night. Do not buy the push/pull caps. It says it all in the name. Buy the "Closure" cap.

It’s catching on.
This is my second soft bottle. I only replaced the first one because I lost it. The push pull cap is a bit stiff but I think that’s just mine. Highly recommend! People always seem skeptical, until they see you fold it up and put it in your pocket or bag when it’s empty. Several of my friends have seen mine and have ordered them.

Keep them in the freezer for storage, when not in use. You can boil them as well. Great for the outdoors. Watch out for eukaryotic organisms, though. Cheers.

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!

The cap is hard to
The cap is hard to pull open but otherwise it works great. I carry two when upland hunting and that gives me and my lab enough water to keep on going. I have used the two liter platy for a long time and two of these work better for me.

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.

Wish it had a spot
Wish it had a spot for a carabiner holder like the prior version.

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!!

Used it as a lite
Used it as a lite option on a 4 day hike. Worked perfectly, only complaint was that it was hard to get into the side pouch of the bag sometimes.

Great Bottle
It is lightweight and does not have a plastic taste at all.
