Platypus 1-Liter Water Bottle with Push/Pull Cap

 

Favorite water bottle!

This is a bit of money, but worth every cent. The only draw back is that it has a plastic smell. You need to wash it out very good before you first use it.
This water bottle withstands my heavy beatings of my day to day use. This new model is an improvement from their last. It comes stander with a sports cap, and stands on its end better. Also is shaped to fit your hand easy. This new 2009 model also comes with a hard plastic ring on top so you can clip it on to your pack while hiking for quick easy access.

The drawback is that since it made out of a more malleable plastic, its not as slick as a regular water bottle with a stiff surface. So this means you can not put it in most water bottle holders build onto packs fully loaded with 1 liter of water in it. It has to go inside your pack, or clipped on outside somewhere.

I do enjoy the light weight of it and its durability. I take it to school everyday and when done, I can just squeeze all the air out and roll it up to almost nothing.
