Review on Portable Collapsible Water Bottle with Carabiner - Ideal for Camping, Travel & Hiking by Kyle Fachini

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It takes a little getting used to, but a good experience so far and a happy purchase.

I first saw this while watching the Revain Haul video on YouTube where it got rave reviews. I was on a plane trip and thought this would be perfect after going through TSA security checks. I love how compact it folds and how easy it is to carry around. I have found that the attached lid gets in the way when drinking. I've found that if you clip the carabiner through the lid's strap, it helps keep it out of the way. I followed the instructions that came with it and filled it with water before use. It really helped negate the "gummy" aftertaste that some complained about. The biggest downside I've found (at least for me) is that it takes a bit of getting used to before you can use this without spilling the contents on yourself. It's a bit of a learning curve, but well worth it once you get the hang of "compression protection".

Pros
  • EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE - Can be hung on your bag with hand rope and portable hook. Much easier to hold and drink from the rim of a stainless steel mug. The tight fit of the lid prevents the ingress of dust and dirt.
Cons
  • There are flaws
