The official HYDAWAY 17 oz and 25 oz product pages and feature details were checked October 16, 2026. Specifications and use claims are manufacturer-provided; GolfTested did not test fit or leakage.
HYDAWAY’s collapsible bottle comes in two useful capacities for a golf bag: 17 oz and 25 oz. The smaller option is lighter and narrower; the larger holds eight more ounces but takes more width when expanded. This is an unscored buying brief based on the maker’s listing, not a leak, cleaning or on-course fit test.
Compare the two sizes
| Listing detail | 17 oz bottle | 25 oz bottle |
|---|---|---|
| Capacity | 17 oz / 500 ml | 25 oz / 750 ml |
| Listed bottle weight | 5.5 oz / 156 g | 6.3 oz / 179 g |
| Expanded height | 6 in / 15 cm | 8 in / 20 cm |
| Collapsed height | 1.5 in / 4 cm | 1.5 in / 4 cm |
| Outside diameter | 3.75 in / 9.5 cm | 4.25 in / 11 cm |
| US listing price checked October 16, 2026 | $29.95 | $34.95 |
These are the manufacturer’s published measurements. If you want to store the bottle in a cart cup holder or narrow side pocket, measure that opening and compare it with the expanded diameter. The 25 oz bottle is wider; a collapsible body does not tell you whether it will fit an existing holder.
The 17 oz product page showed several available colors and listed Agave and Coral as sold out when checked. The 25 oz product page showed an in-stock cue. Color inventory changes, so treat these as dated listing states rather than a promise of current stock.
Decide around your refill plan and storage
Choose capacity around access to refill points and how much filled weight you want to carry. The 17 oz model suits a smaller refill between stops; the 25 oz model holds more before its next refill. Neither amount is a hydration recommendation. Plan what you will drink based on your own needs and the course conditions.
The main storage benefit appears when the bottle is empty: both pages list a 1.5-inch collapsed height. The 25 oz version is still half an inch wider than the 17 oz bottle. Compare that footprint with the pocket where you would store it between rounds, and check whether a cap, strap or other item changes the usable space.
Lid, materials and care
HYDAWAY describes the bottles as having a flip-top lid and a food-grade silicone body, and its product pages call the lid leakproof. Those are manufacturer descriptions, not GolfTested results. We did not carry either filled bottle in a bag, measure leakage or test the plastic components.
The product pages say the bottles are dishwasher safe; the 17 oz page specifies a top-rack dishwasher. Check the current care notes for the selected model and remove the lid or components only as the manufacturer directs. The brand lists a one-year guarantee against manufacturer defects. Read the current guarantee and delivery terms on the product page before ordering.
The supplied HYDAWAY partner route has no GolfTested coupon or fixed saving. On October 16, the official US listings showed $29.95 for 17 oz and $34.95 for 25 oz. Confirm the selected color, availability, shipping and final total.
