HYDAWAY 25oz Collapsible Water Bottle - BPA-Free, Leakproof, Lightweight, and Space-Saving - Perfect for Hiking, Travel, and All-Day Hydration

I love these collapsable water bottles. I liked so much I bought 3. We like the large version best because you can collapse part way and it is a smaller bottle. I love that it collapsed flat and it had a carrying case. I know many reviews said the clips broke but we usually carried inside our bags but I also purchased a better hook and it worked great. Never had any leaks and was good quality. It is not a hard plastic or rubber so it has some give but we had no trouble.Many people talked about cleaning and the rubber taste but I used the method of filling with water and sliced lemons, freezing and then cleaning in the sink and it worked perfect. I did this every other week and cleaned by hand the other times.

I have been looking for a non-obtrusive, compact water bottle to use when traveling. This one surprised me and is exactly what I needed. It packs very flat, so it’s easy to keep in my crossbody purse at all times. Easy to unfold and fill. It makes getting may daily 100 ozs water easier when traveling, and I don’t have to lug a backpack to carry a larger water bottle nor hold a bottle when we are out and about. I have not experienced any leakage.Some people complained about a rubber taste. I washed the bottle upon receipt in very hot water, then added some vinegar and boiling water and let it soak for an hour or so. Have not had a problem with water tasting like rubber. Others complained that the shape made the bottle unstable. I have not found this to be the case. However, it is easier if you hold the bottle along the widest part when filling. Other than that I have had no issues with the shape of it.Genius design, and easily tucks away without taking up too much space.

This was perfect for my Disney trip. Folds flat to fit in my backpack and help tremendously with water intake! It did condensate, so I wouldn’t use it for every day, but fantastic for parks. Also not insulated so ice melts quick.

I love that I finally have a travel water bottle that never leaks!!! This is a huge thing for me. I'm so tired of "leakproof" lids and straws, but this one made good on the promise. Super easy to fold in the layers so the bottle can be smaller as you drink the water, or to flatten the whole thing when it's empty. I looked at sooooooo many bottles before pulling the trigger on this one, glad I did!

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

I loved this item and carried it everywhere for 2 months, then the handle snapped off and so now it’s essentially useless for travel. The handle allowed you to hang it from a backpack or just handle with one finger through the handle. BUt realizing that the handle was not that secure is a huge disappointment. The handle flipped off in an airport and the handle slid away—I picked up the bottle but now there’s no handle. For the money, this should have been much more durable. Otherwise I loved the collapsibility and capacity but for durability it gets a Zero! Worse yet, I have passed the return window (purchased in Feb

This is great for traveling! Stores flat when not in use so it’s easy to travel with.

Washed and rinsed multiple times but the water never tasted quite right.
