NefeekoCollapsible Water Bottle, Reuseable BPA Free Silicone Foldable Water Bottles for Travel Gym Camping Hiking, Portable Leak Proof Sports Water Bottle with Carabiner

The Nefeeko Collapsible Water Bottle is a reusable, eco-friendly water bottle designed for convenience, portability, and sustainability. Its standout feature is its collapsible design, which allows it to shrink in size when not in use, making it ideal for travel, outdoor activities, and everyday use.Pros:I love the space-Saving Design•The collapsible feature is excellent for those who are always on the go. It can shrink to about a third of its full size, making it perfect for packing into a bag or backpack without taking up much space.• Made from food-grade silicone, it’s BPA-free, odorless, and safe for both hot and cold beverages. The material feels sturdy yet flexible, and it doesn’t collapse accidentally while in use.• The secure screw-on cap prevents leaks, making it safe to carry in a bag without worrying about spills.• Even when full, it’s lighter than most standard water bottles, making it great for hiking, travel, or the gym.• It’s a great alternative to single-use plastic bottles, helping reduce waste.• The bottle can handle beverages ranging from -58°F to 392°F, making it suitable for water, tea, coffee, or even cold drinks.Cons:• Like many silicone products, it may retain odors from strong beverages (e.g., coffee or flavored drinks). Washing it thoroughly after each use is necessary to avoid this.• Its capacity when fully expanded (typically around 18-20 oz) may not be sufficient for people who need a larger water supply, like during long hikes or extended outings.• When partially filled, the collapsible structure can feel less stable or prone to tipping compared to rigid bottles.

While we were going to use it for water on the beach, we ended up using for our pool side drinks and as it got low, we collapsed the bottle, closed the top and continued with activity, and refilled again. Convient, less bulk, bug resistant, and spill proof. However, the downside was it was flimsy and do not maintain the coolness of the beverage. Therefore, whatever was needed to be consumed, needed to be done soon, otherwise enjoy environment temperature. Unique item received many complements. We did fill it before boarding plane also, which was great because we had to stay on the plane extra time and still had beverage with us.

Works as expected. Great for traveling - light weight, stands on its own, but collapses easily when empty. And it does NOT have the smell others are complaining about. However, it is hard to get it in the side pocket of a backpack if it is even a little tight or the backpack is full. The material is “grabby”, so if the backpack material isn’t slick nylon, it is impossible to get it in the side pocket. Nevertheless, we found it useful when traveling, and it did not leak when put in the upright position inside the backpack. Not ideal but it did keep us from having to buy water everywhere while we were on our trip.

I really liked the concept of this water bottle; it's so useful being able to collapse it as you drink throughout the day so that eventually the bottle takes up less space whether in your bag/purse or hanging with the included carabiner. The silicone material worked great at safely containing a drink without risk of leaks or condensation yet lightweight enough that it's not annoying to carry all day. In fact, I brought this on a multi-day trip to various theme parks, and it held up perfectly for my needs - conveniently compact, sturdy, easily washable, no noticeable bad taste.One minor thing I didn't like was how goofy it looks/feels to drink from since the flexible material means you sometimes need two hands to support it as you tip it back into your mouth. Additionally, my friends delighted in making fun at how this bottle looks like a "floppy dildo" particularly when placed on a table. Because the base of the bottle isn't very heavy or sturdy, it easily topples over by itself. Not a big deal to me though.Unfortunately, mere months after purchasing (and of course just past the return window) the bottle broke. I was wondering why it was suddenly leaking and not screwing tightly like before only to realize the plastic ring at the neck of the bottle is cracked. I didn't drop it and was careful to hand-wash only, but clearly the plastic is just poor quality (or perhaps I got a defected item). I have a Nalgene bottle that is also plastic, and somehow that one has lasted over a decade. Meanwhile, this Nefeeko bottle couldn't last 2 months.tldr; Neat concept if quality was higher. Plastic ring (where top screws on) broke within months. Not bad if you want a $14 carabiner.
