Some water bottles are inexplicably designed so you have to unscrew the entire lid to take a drink. Not this one. It has a nice, easy-open spout, and you can still remove the entire lid for filling or adding ice. It also needs no tube, so, one less thing to require cleaning. And it has a nice carrying handle, easy to carry with a few fingers. Just right.
I’ve had this water bottle for about a month now and I really love it. I’d been looking for a water bottle that fit everything that I want in a water bottle (big, easy to clean, one handed use, easy to carry, durable, no sweat, big enough to put ice into) and this water bottle fits all of those! My one complaint, and it’s very minor, is that the spout I should hard to chug out of. Sometimes I really want to get a big gulp of water and it’s hard to do that with the small spout. Something you can do though is use the bigger opening rather than the spout to get a big gulp in. Other than that, this is an amazing water bottle and I would definitely recommend it!
I bought this because my roommate had a similar one, and I loved how easy hers was to clean. I got an 18 oz in the solar yellow to help me remember to bring it with me every where so I would drink more water. The combination of the color, the ease to clean, and how I can easily carry it while my hands are full (the ring on the lid) makes this the perfect water container. It keeps ice pretty much all day, and the rubber bottom on the style I purchased helps protect it when I inevitably drop it.
I bought this after seeing the 18 oz version in my local 7Leaves Cafe. This is the best water bottle I have come across. Easy to carry from work to the gym and it truly does keep my water cold.
