Win a Hydaway collapsible water bottle – perfect for summer travel

The British summer has well and truly switched itself on. Temperatures are expected to hit 30 °C across much of England today, with yellow heat-health alerts in place until Sunday evening - a warning that the hot weather poses increased risks, particularly for older people and those with health conditions.

That doesn’t mean we have to park up our bikes just yet, but it does mean the school run, the café ride or even the usual dash to the station might feel a little more like hard work. When the air turns thick and heavy, dehydration can sneak up fast - bringing headaches, fuzzy thinking, and the kind of slowed reactions nobody needs when navigating busy roads.

A water bottle that shrinks to the size of a coaster

Hydaway’s 17 oz (500 ml) collapsible bottle is made from food-grade, BPA-free silicone. It concertinas from a full-sized 15 cm bottle to a tidy 1.5 cm disc and weighs just 156 g. Toss it in a pannier, bar-bag or even your pocket, then flip the leak-proof lid and fill up at the nearest tap or water fountain.

Every minute, around a million single-use plastic bottles are bought around the world - the vast majority destined for landfill, incinerators or, all too often, the sea. Campaigners say plastic pollution now rivals climate change in its threat to ecosystems. But here’s the good news: over 3,000 public water fountains have sprung up in UK town centres in recent years, making it easier than ever to top up on the go. The only thing missing? Something to fill. That’s where the Hydaway comes in - reusable, collapsible, and small enough to live in your bag full-time.
