Clip It or Pocket It? Carry Your Lieber’s Collapsible Bottle Your Way

A bottle that fits your bag is useful. A bottle that swings into everything while you walk is less useful.

The Lieber’s Silicone Collapsible Travel Water Bottle includes a carabiner, giving you an attachment option as well as ordinary bag storage. Choose the method around your bag and activity, not simply because a clip is included.

Start with a suitable bottle pocket

If your bag has a pocket that holds the bottle securely, try that first. Check the fit with the bottle filled and make sure it doesn’t slip out when you move.

Keep the stainless steel cap properly closed and inspect its sealing ring. Place the bottle separately from electronics or other belongings that could be damaged by a spill.

Clip only to a suitable attachment point

If you use the included carabiner, choose a secure attachment point appropriate for the bottle’s load. Check that the clip closes properly and that the bottle’s own attachment is intact.

Don’t assume a decorative loop or zipper pull is designed to hold a filled bottle. Follow any instructions supplied with the bottle and bag.

Test movement before heading out

Carry the loaded bag and walk a short distance. If the bottle swings into your body, catches on things, or gets in the way, choose another position or store it in a pocket instead.

For cycling or other activities involving moving equipment, keep the bottle away from wheels, controls, and moving parts. Don’t improvise a mounting method that interferes with safe operation.

Collapse it when empty

The bottle holds 500 ml, approximately 16.9 fluid ounces. Once empty, the collapsible silicone body lets you reduce its size for storage.

You may prefer clipping it in one situation and putting it away in another. There’s no need to use the same carrying method all day.

Keep the accessory’s job clear

The included carabiner is a bottle-carrying accessory. Don’t use it for climbing, supporting a person, or other safety-critical loads.

Check the clip and attachment between uses. If something is damaged or no longer closes properly, don’t rely on it.

Our take

Choose the position that keeps the bottle secure and out of your way. A convenient attachment is useful only when it works with the bag you actually carry.

Our BPA-free, food-grade silicone bottle is $17.99, with a stainless steel cap and wide mouth for cleaning. Follow the supplied care instructions and allow it to dry before storing.
