    My husband has been looking for a bottle that will fit the cage on his bicycle, which he uses to commute. This one is perfect, finally a great fit!

    It’s a nice water bottle. It looks good, tastes good, and it works pretty well. It’s nice not having to open and close the bottle. Overall though it wasn’t the revolution that people seem to think it is if you look at all the reviews out there. I had a hard time biting hard enough and sucking at the same time and I wished that you could bite it a little lower. I have only used it for one short ride so we will see but that was initial impression.

    No BPA: Important to me, but not unique. Most “bike shop” bottles I’ve seen, as well as the insulated Polar Bottle, are made of BPA-free LDPE.

    Taste: I can’t tell much difference as compared to LDPE bottles.

    Twist-lock cap: By twisting a lever on the cap, you can open and close the nipple without touching it with your grimy hands.

    Spill-proof:

    (1) When the cap is closed tightly and the nipple is closed as just explained, the bottle won’t leak even if squeezed.

    (2) When the cap is closed tightly and the nipple is open, the bottle won’t leak even if inverted, unless you squeeze it. The tradeoff is that it takes more force to squeeze this bottle than most, and less water seems to emerge from each squeeze. I did not like that aspect, so I pried/twisted off the nipple cover with the help of a chopstick, yanked out the small thin perforated diaphragm (again, with the help of a chopstick), and replaced the nipple cover. This is an irreversible operation, and defeats the open-nipple leak-proof feature, but it makes the bottle somewhat easier to squeeze and seems to deliver more water.

    Hot weather: The bottle is not insulated. But the cap fits my Polar insulated bottle, and I use it that way to carry cold water on long rides. The cap does not fit my “bike shop” bottles.

    As many reviewers mentioned, this is a really poorly designed water bottle. Very stiff plastic, very hard to squeeze after riding for a couple of hours. Also, the diameter of the bottle doesn’t fit many water bottle cages. I can’t believe they didn’t buy few of the popular cages out there and test the fit prior to releasing this design!

    I didn’t like this particular water bottle. The nozzle is unique and pretty functional but the bottle itself is very stiff. I prefer a bottle that is more flexible. Flexibility makes it easier to use.
