Having helped my son buy luggage pieces I am now looking for the best collapsible water bottle for backpacking. The reason for it is that he doesn't drink enough water, and in hot weather, it can be dangerous. My hope is that having it tucked in his backpack would serve as a reminder to use what's inside.
The first things I looked for was the number of people who have purchased the product and left feedback. I was looking for an average rating to be above 4. My other box to tick was the price. Even though it was not number one thing I looked for, I always ask myself if the price is justified by looking at the product features and reviews. If the product is in a higher price range, it's got to be good, and I'll always make sure to check if it is.
Survivor 2 x 2 Litre Collapsible Water Bottle for Backpacking with Virus Tested Filter
I was blown away by the functionality of this product. Not only does it include 2 big water containers, but it comes with a carbon filter for cases when clean water is not available as can be the case in nature or in countries where water purity is under question. It can filter up to 100,000 litres (26,417 gallons) of water. There are also 6 pre-filters included in the package. The capacity of the containers is also very impressive at 2 litres each. Moreover, it contains a protective mouthpiece to keep bacteria out. This is definitely for you if you consider a serious journey to places you've never been before.

It has lots of reviews (over 1,000), with an average score of 4 which works very much in favor of this product.
