The Platypus 500ml Soft Bottle with closure cap is a secure way to cart extra water on day hikes. A real space-saving bottle that’s also BPA free is hard to come by, which is why Platypus came up with their Soft bottle range.
This flexible bottle is perfect when you need to save on as much space and weight as possible – as it weighs 80% less than hard drink bottle, and can be squeezed in down the side of your pack super easily. Filled, it has an ergonomic shape that is easy to hold and drink from and because it is pliable, it will conform to a drink holder, a round pocket, a flat pocket or your hand.
Best of all the Soft Bottle from Platypus won’t leave you with a funny taste in your mouth every time you need to hydrate.
What is the diameter of the mouth piece? Also, I'd like to know from people who have used these bottles whether water tends to gush out of the bottle when you grab it to take a drink unless you take it carefully. Eg. like a kids fruit box/popper drink?
G'day Kerrie,
Thanks for your enquiry. I've just measured the mouthpiece of the display model and can confirm the piece measures 21mm in diameter. A teammate told me liquid does tend to flow quickly from the bottle with the closure caps but not necessarily gush. They recommended purchasing the soft push-pull cap version if you want a more controlled flow.
