Two decades of backcountry use have proven that the simplest hydration solutions are often the best ones.

The Platypus SoftBottle has stayed relevant because it solves a real problem: carrying enough water without dedicating precious pack space to a rigid bottle that takes up the same volume empty as it does full. When the SoftBottle is empty, it flattens and rolls down to almost nothing. The narrowed midsection makes it comfortable to hold even with a full litre inside, and the materials are completely taste-free, BPA-free, BPS-free, and phthalate-free, so what you taste is water and nothing else.

It's available with either a Closure Cap or a Push-Pull Cap depending on how you prefer to drink, and it accepts any threaded Platypus lid or drink tube kit, making it compatible with the GravityWorks system and Platypus Drink Tube Kit for hands-free hydration on the water or trail.
