So I will start by saying I was hesitant on whether to purchase this product. I own a Hydroflask - several in fact. I love said Hydroflask(s). However, I am an avid hiker/camper/backpacker. At times I admittedly opt for the low key car camping variety adventure but my real passions are sparked when I venture off into the unknown and have to subsist off of the land minus the minimal supplies I can carry in a rucksack. This is where the collapsible water bottle presented an intriguing option.
Yes it is a good-sized bottle. Yes it keeps the water (or whatever liquid you prefer) relatively cool. Yes it is light weight and easily collapsible. No this is not a substitute for a well-insulated type bottle such as a Hydroflask. But that is not what this is designed for. If you want a light weight, space saving, moderately insulated bottle than this more than does the trick. It has uses for a variety of purposes but for the hikers and backpackers among us it is especially useful. In fact, I am considering purchasing another one for the simple reason that refills on hikes are not always an option but saving space and going light on weight should be.
So far, so good. We've not used it to drink water from yet, got it for a trip to Israel. Hope to soon, but not had occasion to. It came quickly, and Monument offered a handy short video to show how to roll it up. I saw in some reviews when purchasing that this was difficult. Not so. In fact, it is very easy, and appears to be a very high quality product at a very reasonable price.
This is a follow up to my earlier review. I like this product! Was very handy on our trip. Pretty much carried water in it every day on a 13 day trip. Absolutely no complaints. No bad taste. And something I had never thought of... was very handy to take with me on my carryon. With TSA not allowing water bottles through security... I discovered they do allow empty ones. I would flatten this out, put it in my satchel. Security would ask if I had any fluids... No. And then when in the departure terminal, I found several airports with water fountains designed to fill bottles. And voila! I had water. And I didn't have to mortgage my first-born to get it. Handy. Great product. Great Price. 6 stars! Oops... I mean 5 :-)
Great water bottle to take with you on the go. I got to a point when my hand bags and purses became way too big, so I had to downsize but couldn't find a water bottle that easily fit into my new bag. This water bottle is a perfect fit and it easily goes with me no matter the situation. Its a huge help being able to stuff it into the compartment of my bag. Sometimes I don't even roll it up, I just fold it in half after I have finished all of the water in it, and I then have much more room for other items.
This is a great water bottle! There is no strange taste, as I had read about some other collapsible bottles. I like the mouthpiece better than those found on a number of other water bottles I have had. It is sturdy enough to stand upright just fine, so I can put it on my desk and it is stable. It is also easy to fold up when it is empty, to make it more convenient for carrying. I am very happy with it.
I fly a lot and I prefer to bring my own water bottle and fill it at the airport. I wanted something that doesn't take up a lot of room in my bag, is easy to fill and easy to clean. This fits the bill. The bottle is really well designed and sturdy. I like that it has a wide opening (makes refilling the bottle at airport water fountains easy). I like the flip cap that prevents spills and leaks; and I like the hard plastic sliding ring around the middle, which makes it easier to hold onto. It feels like whoever designed this put a lot of thought into it. The one problem I've had is that the strap can easily come off of the little tab it hooks onto when it's rolled up. It would be nice if there was a way to secure it in place. It would also be nice if it had a hook on the strap so I can hang it from things when it's filled.

Description
Hydrate with Peace of Mind, Drink with Simplicity, Travel with Convenience, and Explore with Freedom!
Cool product. Clever idea. Very convenient to keep and store in a car or in your house in a drawer. Folds up for a back pack. The best part is that it does not have any plastic chemical smell at all which is a concern I have sometimes with these types of products. Also, even though its flexible it is very sturdy standing up on its own just like a regular water bottle. This is my new regular use water bottle.
I bought this water bottle for use on flights and I love it. It's easy to fill once through security, seals well (no leaks!), and cleans out easily and well with a bottle brush. It's also pretty easy to roll up and pack away. I'll be using it for travel, for hikes/walks.... it's a very handy tool to have in your arsenal.
I was desperate to find a water bottle that didn't leak, had a good mouth piece, and could be traveled with. At first, I was a little confused as how to roll it up, but I got the hang of it. The tab that holds it closed when rolled up is a small piece of plastic, and it looks kind of flimsy so I hope it doesn't break, but for now it seems fine. I love the top of it and the color and I like how it stands up on its own without any liquid in it.
Love the feel and ease of using the bottle. Lost my first so quickly reordered a new one. It doesn’t collapse as small as I’d hoped but those that do seem to require 2 hands to hold. Easy to clean too!
