A single piece of stiff polypropylene bent into an open trough, the pStyle is the one reusable device here that does not ask you to be careful with it. Hold it with one hand, slide it through a fly, and the walls stay where you put them. On a hike with a pack and a schedule, that stiffness is the difference between a stop that takes twenty seconds and a stop that costs you a sock.
The trade is aim. Nothing wraps the urethra, so the seal comes from angle — rim back a little, front tipped down — and a sloppy first attempt will tell you so immediately. We practiced in the shower twice at home before trusting it on a trail, and by the second attempt it was already boring, which is the goal.
Nothing ships with it. No pouch, no case, no cap. Ours lives in a small zip bag with a scrap of microfiber, which is a cheap fix for a problem the maker decided not to solve.
Cleaning is where it pulls ahead of the soft funnels: the open top rinses under a tap or a water bottle, and there is no closed channel holding water until you get home. Against the Tinkle Belle it is lighter and considerably cheaper; against the silicone funnels it is the one that cannot fold over mid-stream. After a season riding in a hip-belt pocket, ours still rinses clean and has not gone cloudy.
Pros
- Stiff walls stay put one-handed
- Open top rinses in seconds
- Slides through a fly without undoing a belt
Cons
- No case, cap or pouch included
- Seal depends on getting the angle right
Our pick for hiking and travel: stiff enough to hold one-handed, light enough to forget, and it rinses clean with a bottle of water.
