Does anybody know where to get a quality collapsible water container with at least a 25 litre carrying capacity.
 
look for a silverline (toolstream) distributor for one of these, should be about £5
 
reference code 159729. says it holds 20 ltrs
 
25 litres is 25kg and that’s heavier than a big airline suitcase and I don’t think any plastic container that is foldable or squishable would be durable. The one pictured above is 10 litres and that’s the more usual size.
Edit
Having said that, you can get collapsible water bladders such as these but they are much larger

5 and 10l are available in most Caravan Stores. I suspect that a 25l (25kg of water) would have to be fairly substantial in construction and that would likely prevent them be truly "collapsible"? I carry I 5l one, which rarely gets any use, its there really against the day when (say) the pump packs up and we need water fast.
 
Friendly Swede 10 or 16 litre Collapsible Bucket - buy on Amazon
Superb quality and will last a long time.
 
Most people will struggle to carry 25kg any distance. There is no specific safe maximum weight for repetitive lifting, but one reason why aircraft suitcases are usually limited to 20-22.5KG is for the safety of baggage handlers and if you go over that you "enjoy" not only excess luggage costs but a nice "heavy sticker. Most bags of sand / cement and similar from builder's merchants are limited the same. Oh and ladies are expected to lift less than the above.

So, unless your carrier also has wheels, 25 litre (1 litre = 1KG) capacity collapsible will be challenging to find.
 
I bought two 16litre collapsible ones and find them rather annoying and tricky to handle when full. So ended up buying a couple of 10 litre hard plastic ones.
 
I normally use a 30litr solid one with fold up trolley to move around when full, all kept in the boot of my PVC and pump it into my onboard tank when pitched up on a campsite but I’m now storing my recently purchased inflatable kayak in the boot hence no space now for water carrier. I’ve found what I was looking for now on Amazon USA . Thanks for all your replies. Ps I never knew condensed water took up less space than normal water ??

Forget the 25ltr collapsible container for the sake of your back, unless you have a trolley to carry it ofc.
