Henry Snow lived out of a van for two years with his dog Bella. That kind of lifestyle comes with trade-offs—freedom, sunsets, no rent, and no bathroom. He got used to the basics: brushing teeth in parking lots, cooking meals on a camp stove, sleeping with a hat on. But the one thing that never got easier was peeing at night.
Bottles were the usual fix. Not ideal. They tipped. They smelled. The opening was always too small or the angle awkward. Henry figured there had to be a better option. Not a hospital-grade jug or a modified detergent container. Something that worked and didn’t feel like a medical supply. He started sketching.
The Bottle
He wanted it to collapse down. Something that could stay clipped to a backpack and then expand when needed. No spills. No leaks. No weird seams or ridges that held onto smells. Something you wouldn’t be embarrassed to carry. What came out of that was PeeSport.
The bottle is made from silicone, soft but sturdy. It expands like an accordion from a compact size up to around 700 milliliters. That’s more than enough for one go, or even two or three if you’re rationing stops. The lid locks down tight, and the wide mouth makes it usable for both men and women. No attachments. No adapters.
Henry called it the world’s first “performance pee bottle.” The name was a joke, but also not. He treated it like gear—like something you’d pack next to your Jetboil and headlamp.
Getting It Out There
Henry launched PeeSport with his friend Jacques. They started small, selling direct from their website. No outside investors, no Amazon store, just photos, testimonials, and a clear pitch: this is not a novelty product. It’s something you’ll actually use.
They leaned into humor, but never at the expense of the customer. Their taglines joked about “peeing with class,” but the product was built like a tool. Dishwasher safe. Antibacterial. Travel tested.
GearJunkie picked it up early on, calling it the solution to “Dumb and Dumber” road trip moments. Outside Magazine mentioned it soon after. Sales followed. Road trippers, festival goers, overlanders, parents of potty-training kids. PeeSport bottles started showing up in glove compartments, bike panniers, and ski cabins.
Not Just for the Woods
The more bottles they sold, the more feedback they got. People used them in traffic jams. In tents. At jobsites with no nearby bathrooms. Some customers bought one for aging parents who had trouble getting to the restroom in time. Others bought three for cross-country drives so no one had to rotate a single bottle.
They started offering color options. A lavender one. A desert sand one. They improved the cap. Tightened the seal. Released a “2.0” version without needing to call it that. Just a better bottle, based on what users said.
The People Behind It
Henry calls himself the PEE-EO. He’s in his early 30s, outdoorsy, not overly precious about business titles. Jacques handles operations. They run lean. They show up in startup chats and vanlife message boards. They host small outdoor retreats when they can afford to. They want the business to stay scrappy.
They didn’t try to build a brand that felt clinical. They didn’t market it as a medical device. They built something people actually needed, made it durable, and talked about it like normal people. And sometimes that’s enough.
PeeSport is still a small operation. Orders ship from a warehouse in the U.S. They don’t sell through big-box stores. They don’t do ad campaigns. But the bottle works, and people tell their friends. Henry still keeps one clipped to his pack. Just in case.
