HYDAWAY Collapsible Water Bottle - 25oz I Reusable Water Bottle with Flip Top Lid for Travel, Hiking, Backpacking I Portable & Leakproof, Food-Grade Silicone, BPA Free, Collapses to 1.5”

**⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Essential for Every Road Trip!**"I recently discovered a life-changing use for the HYDAWAY Collapsible Water Bottle. Forget hydration—this little wonder has become my go-to 'emergency pit stop' device! As a frequent road warrior with a penchant for pushing the limits of my bladder, this bottle has truly revolutionized my travels.Let's start with the collapsibility: it’s perfect! When the need arises, it expands to hold my… um… ‘liquid contribution’ without spilling a drop. The 25oz capacity is more than generous for even the most urgent situations. And once I’ve relieved myself, it collapses back down, discreetly tucking away until the next call of nature. No one would ever suspect its alternative function!The flip-top lid is a godsend. It's secure enough to prevent any unfortunate accidents, yet easy to open in a hurry—crucial when you’re stuck in traffic and nature’s calling louder than your GPS.Bonus points for the fact that it’s reusable. Just a quick rinse at the next rest stop (or if you’re really lazy, a splash of hand sanitizer), and it’s good to go. Sustainable and sanitary!My only caution: remember to empty and clean it regularly. I learned the hard way that a forgotten ‘full’ bottle on a hot day can lead to some very unpleasant car aromas.So, if you’re like me and value every precious minute on the road, the HYDAWAY Collapsible Water Bottle is a must-have. Whether you’re using it for water or… other purposes, it’s an indispensable travel companion. Five stars!"

This worked great for my trip to Italy and it was nice that it could compact very small. I will say, though that it is kind of heavy, especially if you’re on a tour guide group having to carry a lot of stuff.

Very nice and fits into the case perfectly

My primary goal was portability. However, the rubbery taste was unexpected. Here's how I broke down my evaluation, highest rating to lowest:5 - Expansion: expanding and folding down is easy as long as the spout is open. There's a lip on the bottom you can use to pull the bottom portion open.5 - Portability: while collapsed, it can be thrown in just about any sized bag; at the airport, I can fill it up after going through security and hook it to my backpack5 - Leakage: the container does not leak for me, even if held upside down, or if light pressure (like being inside my carry-on) is applied3 - Grip: for longer periods of time, it's not comfortable to hold a full container around the hard center (and I have large hands for a woman, 8-9" thumb to fingertip). I can hold onto the lower part of the lid if needed, but that's a bit awkward3 - Versatile functionality: the carry ring on the lid works great when hooked to my carry-on for short distances, but I can see that letting the container swing around while full might put undue stress on the ring3 - Cleaning: general cleaning is easy (soap and water), but a wire brush is required for deeper cleaning of the spout and folds2 - Stability: it wobbles a lot when full; it is slightly more stable when the spout is closed. Fold it up a bit at a time as you drink the water, and it becomes increasingly more stable. But that's a lot of work for stability and functionality. Once you drink 1/3 of the water, you can collapse the bottom portion, then it holds very firmly, more than a regular water bottle can suffer.2 - Drinking: it's easier to drink if you reduce the amount of air in the container as you drink. Same issue as above: that's more work than it's worth1 - Taste: rubbery taste and smell are persistent

We were looking for a travel cup. It had to travel small, hold enough water to hydrate, and clip on to a bag. This was the absolute best option we found. Even better, it is dishwasher safe. It collapses, does not leak when the spout is correctly closed, and, if you grip in the firm middle section, is easy to get a drink. The mug will even stand up in its own. There is a mini handle at the top that we attached a carbine clip to attach to a bag. Do be aware that one time when the bottle was full and got jostled a bit, the mini handle did fall off. We just snapped it back on. Also go in knowing this bottle is not for hot liquids and will keep a drink cool for a bit when ice is added (the opening is large enough for a standard ice cube). It will not keep your drink cold all day. Before using, I recommend washing once or twice. The price was a bit more than we wanted to pay but would still recommend.

Took this to an event and filled up at the filtered fountain -- water tasted terrible; it had a distinct rubbery taste which made it undrinkable!!! Don't buy this product if you care what your water tastes like.

Love this solution for travel and pairing it with the case is the best thing I’ve ever done

I love everything about this collapsible bottle except the lid. This is well made and does exactly what it is supposed to do. But as a bit of a germaphobe I hate that the only way to open the straw to drink is to touch where my mouth will then go. If Hydaway were to redesign their lid they would have the perfect collapsible bottle.

I recently went oversees and didn’t want to have to buy a plastic bottle of water at the airport after clearing customs. Also, I like to carry water as I travel around. This product looked liked a good solution. It does fold down, but is quite heavy, which is a concern as I travel with carry on only. Also, when it’s extended and filled with water, it’s an awkward shape - doesn’t fit into side pocket in my backpack and doesn’t easily fit into the seat pocket of the plane or cup holders in vehicles. Also, if you don’t hold it on the rigid centre ring, it collapses while you’re trying to drink from it. The only way this product might work when filled with water is using a carabiner to hang from a backpack, but overall I don’t think it’s worth it and don’t recommend this product.

RECOMENDABLE

Excelente botellas para viaje 👍👍👍

Me encanto, es compacto y no requiere mucho espacio. El agua no adquiere sabor desagradable, ni olor. Me encanto su capacidad ya que diariamente debo de beber mucha agua.

I'm very surprised at the size of this collapsible water bottle is. I'm equally excited about the very small size. I often only extend it half way to use as a desktop cup for water, making it very stable. I've not noticed any bad aftertaste. A little pricey but we'll worth it, especially the matching case that holds the 25oz water bottle. Christmas presents are going to be easy to wrap this year!
