I like that this water bottle is lightweight but has some insulation to keep your drink cold longer. I take it hiking and mountain biking which it fits perfectly in the water bottle rack I have on my bike. I appreciate that it has a cover for the lid to keep the dirt out when I’m on the trails. It’s a great brand and I’ve never had a problem with it leaking over the past few months.

Great bottle! It Really did help to keep my water colder on my bike ride today in Florida.

The insulation really does nothing; maybe it keeps water colder marginally longer, but no noticeable difference to me. It's not super easy to drink out of, you do have to squeeze the bottle quite hard. And if you're sitting in a quiet environment, it's annoying to listen to as it slowly pulls air back into the bottle. I see no value in the water lock-out feature and never use it. This bottle is fine, but only has two particularly special qualities, in my opinion. 1. The first cap is great. Keeps dust mud and dirt out of your mouth-- excellent. 2. The printing on the bottle seems to be very high quality and doesn't get abraded off by my tight carbon fiber bottle holder.

I bought this one to be able to cover the nipple from dirt while mountain biking. Works perfect, and I will likely be buying another

Good bottles. Freeze well and haven't cracked from being dropped yet

I originally got this for my trail rides but I ended up using for work. I work in construction areas, so mostly outside, and I need to hydrate myself during the summer. I took this bottle because it keeps my drinks cool a little longer that just a regular water bottle, and it's lighter that a metal insulated bottle (it does sacrifice how long it keeps the water cool compared to the metal bottles). The dirt cap does an excellent job at keeping mud or sand from the tip. My only complaint is that it's hard to clean, especially inside the cap since it's easy for mold to accumulate if not wash properly. overall I love these bottles for both work and MTB, I have 3 of these.

This water bottle is perfect for when I go on bike rides. It’s exactly what I was looking for- has a cap cover to protect from gravel and dust that always kicks up from the trails, and it’s plastic so it doesn’t rattle in the holder. It’s not great with keeping the water cold on a hot day, but I haven’t tried it with ice yet. As a bonus you can squirt water out the top when you squeeze (we used while cleaning up after a dog we were babysitting)
