Great bottle but not for during exercise
Over to aluminium because I was fed up with the plastic taste. Nice water bottles, look fine. There is a plastic protective cap on the water bottle that you can easily remove if you want. The drinking bottle has a red drinking spout that you pull out. Then the bottle is open and you can drink from it by sucking. After all, squeezing is not possible. And therein lies a problem. Half the time, no drink or too little drink comes through the spout. And you have to suck, or in other words, your breathing is disrupted. With a plastic bottle, you open your mouth, put your uvula shut and squeeze and boom, 100% guaranteed booze. With this bottle, you have to suck hard whereby you may accidentally squeeze the spout again and get no or too little drink. And so you are suddenly fiddling with getting enough drink while exercising at your max. Fine bottle but not for during exercise. Fine for the gym or work but me?...unfortunately back to the plastic flavour. Then I still choose functionality instead of looks or taste.
Pros & Cons
3 / 5
Reasonable bottle, improvements possible
The bottle does not leak. However, when driving it is a bit harder to drink from, the spout slides shut again with the slightest push, which can be irritating. The bottle is quite heavy when completely full, I would have liked it to be a bit smaller. Otherwise a fine water bottle.
