Review on Portable Gowithwind Collapsible Water Container: BPA-Free 5.3 Gallon Camping Water Storage Jug with Spigot for Outdoor Hiking and Emergencies by Matt Dyen

Revainrating 4 out of 5

So far, so good! - camping and hiking

I only gave this unit 4 stars because I haven't had it long enough to really know how it will perform over the long term. I bought it for our camper. First, it was a little more expensive than the others, but for me it was worth having an extra "handle" on the bottom to conveniently tip it on its side when we're using it. (Tip: remove the cap so you can open it when you take it out of the pouch.) It shrinks pretty well after use. It doesn't leak anywhere and the spout closes completely. No smell when I took it out of the packaging. I filled it about 1/4 full and added a few drops of bleach, swirled it around and rinsed thoroughly before using. With an added "handle" on the bottom, it was great to hang to air dry.

Pros
  • few competitors
Cons
  • unreliable
