Lugging around polycarbonate or aluminium water bottles to work and school these days is almost a must: the realization that tap water is as good (and usually better) than bottled water has become widespread. There is however a problem: these water bottles are huge, sometimes heavy, and are no easier to carry empty than when they’re full.

Platypus fills this need with their SoftBottles. Made in the USA – not much is anymore – and weighing significantly less than the water within, their major selling point is that they can be rolled to a fraction of their size when empty. They’re also less expensive than most.

Stay hydrated, find an authorized dealer at Platypus, and pick up the best water bottle ever - 9$+.
