Platypus Platy 2L is the ultralight water carrier for thru-hikers. We researched Sawyer Squeeze compatibility and compared it to Smartwater 1L bottles for pack water strategy.
Who it's for
Buy this if: Thru-hikers and ultralight backpackers who carry multiple water bottles and want minimum empty weight.
Skip this if: Car campers or anyone who wants a rigid bottle — Platy collapses and can't stand upright empty.
In practice
Squeeze Filter Compatibility
Platypus 2L threads match Sawyer Squeeze standard threads. Fill the Platy at a water source, attach Sawyer Squeeze, and drink directly or squeeze into a clean bottle. The soft walls squeeze easily — better than the rigid CNOC Vecto for hand-squeeze operation.
