Full details
This Six Peaks Collapsible Water Bottle is designed for active individuals, offering a lightweight and compact hydration solution for running, cycling, and outdoor adventures. Its key benefit is its space-saving design that easily fits into hydration vests.

Troubleshooting
Bottle leaks from the bite valve.
Ensure the bite valve is securely attached to the spout. Check for any debris obstructing the valve. Make sure the cap is screwed on tightly.
Water flow is restricted.
Ensure the bite valve is fully open by biting down on it. Check the spout and valve for any blockages or kinks in the tube if applicable. Make sure the cap is not preventing airflow.
Bottle retains an odor or taste.
Wash thoroughly with mild soap and water, and allow to air dry completely. For stubborn odors, try filling with a mixture of water and baking soda and letting it sit overnight before rinsing.
Bottle does not fit well in vest pocket.
Ensure the bottle is not overfilled, which can make it more rigid. Try adjusting the position within the pocket for a snugger fit. This bottle is optimized for specific vest designs.
