Now more durable and flexible than ever, the taste-free Platypus plusBottle™ water bottle with push/pull cap is an excellent option for bringing water on your backcountry adventures.

  • Features a new shape that's even easier to hold and drink from than earlier versions; carry/hang loop adds convenience
  • Incredibly durable triple-layer laminate, welded construction lasts trip after trip
  • Food-grade polyethylene lining ensures bottle won't retain flavors or taste like plastic
  • All-natural, silver-ion-based SlimeGuard™ antimicrobial keeps the taste-free film clear of bacteria
  • 80% lighter than standard hard-plastic bottles, it takes five 1-liter Platypus bottles to equal the weight of one 1-liter hard-plastic bottle
  • Compact and flexible design can be flattened when empty and rolled up to fit practically anywhere in your pack
  • Tough enough to handle temperatures from freezing to boiling; bottle stands upright when full
  • Push/pull cap allows quick and easy drinking
  • Add Platypus accessories such as a taste-free drink tube or screw-on cap (both sold separately) to increase the bottle's versatility

Please note: Platypus products can only be shipped to U.S. addresses.

        Comments about Platypus 1-Liter Water Bottle with Push/Pull Cap:

        I've been using the bottle for a few months now, but I am now thinking about purchasing a different bottle made with harder material (see cons #5).

        Pros:
        1. Very lightweight
        2. Fits 1-liter of water, perfect amount for me
        3. Bottle material is translucent so I'm able to tell how much water I have left
        4. Collapsible (without full amount of water)
        5. The finger loop is VERY convenient
        6. The flexible material is thicker and more scratch resistant than the previous version

        Cons:
        1. Difficult to clean, opening too small
        2. Too flimsy to hold
        3. Push/pull cap is more of an annoyance for me now, I actually unscrew the whole cap to drink instead
        4. Push/pull cap is not secure (in comparison to the closure cap), it came loose once and water spilled all over my bag
        5. My brother stuffed my bottle into my car drink holder once a couple months ago. Since the bottle is too wide for the holder, it doesn't fit perfectly. Now, one end of the bottom of my bottle doesn't want to open up all the way out. My bottle can't stand on its own most of the time anymore, it tips over! I tried freezing the bottle to stiffen the end; flatted the end underneath something heavy; nothing works!

        Comments about Platypus 1-Liter Water Bottle with Push/Pull Cap:

        This is a bit of money, but worth every cent. The only draw back is that it has a plastic smell. When you drink, it pushes the air into your mouth first, and you can smell the plastic. It does not affect the taste of the water though, and 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 shapped to fit your hand easy.

          Comments about Platypus 1-Liter Water Bottle with Push/Pull Cap:

          I need to shave weight from my gear for an upcoming expedition and decided to try one of these bottles. I found the bottle extremely durable, very easy to use so I can drink while moving (I use a nonlocking carabiner attached to the bottle loop and attach both to my packs sholder strap). The bottle has not leaked. For one test I placed it in my pack under about 30 pounds of weight and it handled the weight perfectly. The only negative is the ability to clean bottle with ease. Because of its very small opening one must manually use hot water and soap and just make sure all of the soap is rinsed out.
