The "wide mouth" is nice for filling without spilling, but the lid is not a squeeze-bottle top it is just a screw-on cap. It is very durable plastic, available in several colors and sizes. This particular one (36 oz) is too big for a standard bicycle bottle rack but great for backpacking or camping. It also has volume markings up one side so you can see how much is in it or how much you've been drinking.
The wide mouth top is NOT wide enough to fit a whole hand into, and the bottle is too deep to reach the bottom with your fingers, so cleaning may be an issue. Use a bottle brush!! Only use regular dish soap and warm water, any stronger chemicals will eat the plastic. Failure to use soap and a bottle brush will allow algae and bacteria to grow in the bottom corners of the bottle, which will make you sick if you keep drinking from the bottle. So keep it clean, wash it every few days at least!! Also try to avoid filling it with any sticky liquids that leave a hard to clean residue, like milk or cola. It might be fine to mix up a little bit of Koolaid or Propel Fitness Water or something similar though.
Bottom line: durable plastic bottle with a plain screw-top cap, volume markings on one side, and a wide mouth to accommodate using a bottle brush to clean it. Good choice for backpacking but might require an extra wide bottle rack to put it on a bicycle. I like it.
