Product Information
Full details
The Karrimor Collapsible Water Bottle is designed for hikers, travelers, and athletes who prioritize gear efficiency and weight reduction. Its primary benefit is the space-saving, flexible design that allows it to shrink when empty, making it perfect for minimalist packing. However, users should note that because the material is flexible, the bottle can be slightly more difficult to fill or handle when full compared to traditional rigid plastic or steel containers.

FAQs
Is this water bottle dishwasher safe?
Hand washing is recommended to preserve the integrity of the flexible material and the cap seal.
Can I put hot liquids in the bottle?
It is designed for cold or room-temperature water. Hot liquids may deform the material.
Does the bottle leak when collapsed?
The bottle should be empty when collapsed. Do not attempt to store liquid in it while in the folded state.
What is the weight of the bottle?
The bottle is designed with lightweight materials, making it significantly lighter than standard hard-plastic alternatives.
Can I freeze this bottle?
Freezing is generally not recommended as the expansion of ice could compromise the seams of the flexible material.
Is the material BPA free?
Karrimor uses standard food-safe materials suitable for hydration; always check the specific markings on the product base.
Troubleshooting
Bottle is difficult to stand upright.
Ensure the bottom base is fully pushed out and that the bottle contains enough liquid to create stability.
Plastic taste during initial uses.
Rinse the bottle with a mixture of water and a small amount of baking soda or lemon juice, then let it soak for one hour before final rinsing.
Difficulty collapsing the bottle.
Ensure all air is expelled from the bottle before you begin rolling or folding it from the base upward.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare your bottle for use, expand the body fully and rinse it thoroughly with warm water and a mild detergent before the first use. When filling the bottle, hold it by the neck to ensure the walls expand properly. For long-term care, always allow the bottle to air dry completely in the expanded position after washing to prevent moisture buildup inside. Avoid using boiling liquids or abrasive sponges, as these may damage the flexible material. When not in use, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the elasticity of the container.
