The water bottle design has seen a number of changes over the years. One of the biggest trends we've seen in water bottle design is the
collapsible bottle that compacts down to pocket size when empty. But, Hydaway offers a slightly different take on the trend, its silicone
body compacting like an accordion into a flat, pocketable disc.
The bottle still has a protruding cap that keeps it at 2 in (5 cm) thick
when packaged up, however. With its soft-sided, accordion-like folding
action and flat cap, the Hydaway bottle manages to compact just a tad
thinner, measuring 1.25 in (3.2 cm). On the downside, it is larger in
diameter at 4.25 in (10.8 cm) compared to the Stash's 3.5 in (8.9 cm).
The body of the gadget has been created
from silicon that is food-grade and comes with a BPA-free plastic base
and cap. It is being promoted as a taste and odor-free gadget. The cap is
screw-on and comes with a drinking valve and seal that is watertight.
While the Hydaway's collapsed form looks smooth enough, its full-sized
bottle form looks awkward. It essentially looks like they glued together
large and small collapsible camping cups. However, we still think that the experience could be worth it when the
actual thing comes out.
Apparently, Kickstarter users feel the same
since this device has raised three times its funding goal, and there are
still a few weeks before the campaign ends.
You can place an order for your Hydaway with a pledge of $20 and options
for 350ml and 600ml sizes. Both versions have the same diameter,
however vary in their height. The larger one measures in at 6 inches
while, the smaller one measures in at 4 inches. If everything goes
according to plan, deliveries will start in August, 2015.
