Made in the USA from BPA-, BPS-, and phthalate-free polyethylene, it weighs just 1.2 ounces and rolls up flat when empty. Compatible with all Platypus caps and drink tubes, it offers versatile, leak-proof hydration with a stable base when filled—perfect for camping, hiking, or everyday adventures. ## Description The Platypus SoftBottle Water Bottle with Push-Pull Cap is not just an outdoor essential, but an everyday, everyone, everywhere essential. Reusable, and refillable, it’s significantly lighter in weight than a hard water bottle of comparable volume and, when empty, collapses to take up a fraction of the space. While it’s designed for outdoor pursuits like camping, thru-hiking, and backpacking, it’s also perfect for travel, when space is at a premium, and is a safe option for the pool and beach, or anywhere that glass is impractical or hazardous. BPA-free, BPS-free, and phthalate-free, its food-grade polyethylene liner does not taste like plastic and does not retain flavors, so it can hold water one day, and wine the next. When filled, the base expands so that the bottle stands upright; Included Push-Pull Cap conveniently dispenses contents without removing the cap. The Platypus Ultralight Collapsible SoftBottle is compatible with all Platypus caps and drink tubes. Available in two sizes: 1.0-Liter size weighs just 1.2 ounces, and measures 13 x 6 inches, 0.5-Liter size weighs just 0.8 ounces, and measures 12 x 5 inches. Made in the USA. ## Features - Highly packable: When empty, the SoftBottle easily flattens and rolls up compactly, saving space - Smart design: Bottle narrows at the middle to make it easy to hold - Versatile: Available with either a Closure Cap or a Push-Pull Cap; accepts any threaded Platypus lid or drink tube kit - Pure Platy experience: The SoftBottle is taste-free, as well as BPA-free, BPS-free, and phthalate-free - Weighs 1.2 ounces.
