Sports bottle HydraPak Softflask collapsible 500 ml blue

HydraPak Softflask collapsible 500 ml blue is a lightweight, packable sports bottle designed for running, cycling and outdoor activities. The soft, flexible body reduces in volume as liquid is consumed, minimising sloshing and saving space in a pack or hand. It features a bite valve for one-handed drinking and a secure screw cap to prevent leaks when stored or carried.

Advantages

The collapsible construction and soft materials make this 500 ml sports bottle unusually compact when empty or partially filled, aiding packability and reducing carried weight. The bite valve enables quick, one-handed hydration without unscrewing caps, and the secure cap protects the valve from dirt and accidental opening. The bottle’s shape and flexible body provide easy gripping and controlled flow, suitable for active use.

Suitable for

• Long-distance running and trail races
• Cycling and commuting where space is limited
• Day hikes and lightweight backpacking
• Gym sessions and interval training

How to use

Fill the Softflask with fresh water or an appropriate sports drink up to the 500 ml capacity, screw the cap closed and ensure the bite valve is clean before use. During activity, bite the valve gently and squeeze the body to control flow; release pressure to stop the liquid. After use, rinse thoroughly with warm water and allow to air dry with the cap off to prevent odour and microbial growth. When empty, fold or roll the bottle to reduce volume for storage.

Usage recommendations

Use for plain water or formulated sports beverages; avoid hot liquids and prolonged storage of sugary drinks to minimise staining and odour. Clean regularly and store dry. Inspect the valve and cap for wear and replace if they no longer seal reliably.
