Why the Hydrapak Stow is not the travel water bottle for me

[@daftpowe2362]

It is not supposed to have any air in, that's what saves space. The sides only stick together when it is almost empty and you can always just squeeze it. Also, why do you need it to stand up? It doesn't leak, so you can just lay it anyway you want.

Thanks. I want it to stand up when on my desk, but I realize this isn't the main use for this bottle.

[@superdx23]

I think you're supposed to squeeze it, not blow air in it, which is weird

[@NolanOfConsequence]

Blowing into it was a test to see if I could prevent the sides from sticking together and limiting the flow of water. But yes, it's made to be squeezed out or sucked out.

Drying the Vapur after cleaning was a bigger problem for me. There would always be a bit of water left in the bag. Over time it would probably grow mould, even if I only filled it with water. The HydraPak, being able to hold its shape, dries out much easier.

@@superdx23Oh interesting. I've never had a problem with mold in my Vapur bottle. I just wash it and tip it upside down in the sun with the lid off. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Where I see that being useful is for hiking and using it to refill a Nalgene bottle. Extra water without the bulk.

[@NolanOfConsequence]

I agree, I think it'd be great for that.

Hello! Does the standard caps fit this bottle?

[@nobledante5560]

Yep, it’s 28 mm standard mouth so typical cups from regular cola 0,5 ml are absolutely fits in

@@nobledante5560 excellent, then Sawyer filters should fit as well.

[@NolanOfConsequence]

Very nice!

The whole point of the design of this is in "space saving" + "Ultra Lightweight".

[@NolanOfConsequence]

So do you have one, and do you like it? I've used it a couple more times since the video - it's good for "stuffing" somewhere, but I still don't like that it doesn't stand upright and that it's hard to get the water out. Just preference.
