Love this. I bought something like 5 different water bottles before this and kept losing them or abandoning them because they weren’t comfortable to carry or were hard to drink from, loud to drink from, leaked etc.
I had this in my “buy later” for months. I kept trying to actually use the ones I already had until I finally gave up and ordered this.
Immediately, the experience was better than I expected. Carrying loop and carrying strap are both smooth and comfortable to use. Flavor is neutral. It’s extremely resilient(I’ve dropped and kicked it plenty and it’s still fine). The marks on the side help me realize when I haven’t had anything to drink in literal hours, and help me prepare and stay safe when I know I’ll be working in the heat. Top pops open easily when you want it to, the lock works great when you don’t.
All that said, here’s a heads up or three.
1. If your drink has gotten warm, be careful where you point it when opening. Because the seal is so good, pressure builds up and a small fountain of water will get you if you aren’t careful. If you press the pop open button but keep the lid partway closed, it seems like the air pressure can equalize without any water coming out.
2. It can scratch. It’s not easy to do but I managed by kicking it while it was in the nook of a metal table. Still looks cool. Color didn’t peel or anything, just isn’t matte on the top layer anymore where it scraped.
3. Sucking liquid up the straw takes a little effort. Not hard, but more than a straw in an open glass. That’s fine with me because that’s part of why it doesn’t spill when tipped.
So, with a few caveats related to the laws of physics, perfect bottle. Oh! And it fits in a lot of cupholders, too.
