Best Water Bottle for 0 Leaks and Optimum Chugging
3rd UPDATE: it has been I think a year and a half-two years now, the silicon stopper on top is hard to keep mold free but other than that no issues cleaning. The lock, etc. Still work, though the frosted exterior is almost half peeled off at this point. I think I would have preferred a non-frosted exterior to one that eventually gets damaged, but still works! 2ND UPDATE: It has been a year and this is still my emotional support water bottle! It has been dropped, scratched, and used 24/7 this entire time and it still works beautifully. The frosted exterior looks a little worse for wear at this point, but I don't care because it still looks good enough to me and most importantly works! UPDATE: I have been using this water bottle for over 6 months now, it is very easy to clean and doesn't build up mold near as early as my old one. I have dropped it on its cap multiple times with no issues, this thing is sturdy! The "frosted glass" look of it does get scratched if you're super rough on it, but I believe that is to be expected, and it still looks great. Overall I will buy again if this one ever wears out! I used to use the Pogo 36 oz water bottle, which had a very similar design in that it had a hard plastic, straw-like opening on the top. However, I had already gone through two of that water bottle, and found that the silicone strap on the side broke fairly quickly. This water bottle improves on the Pogo design wonderfully, and provided features I didn't even realize I wanted! Pros: -the strap seems like it will never break thanks to the design of the water bottle, also the strap is large enough to use as a wristlet and so I don't think I will drop this near as much (if ever, I still haven't over the course of a month) as my last water bottle -the chugging with this water bottle is SO GOOD. I think it is because there is a tiny hole right next to the chug straw that provides air to the bottle, but I can drink water so quickly with this that I surprise myself with how much I can drink in one go. With my Pogo, I had to make sure not to cover the entire chug straw or else it would cease the water's flow, but with this water bottle I can fully put it in my mouth with no issues! -comes with a brush for cleaning, and extra silicone covers for the cap. This is really convenient, as in my experience, those silicone covers get gross quicker than you'd think. -the lock feature fixes a huge pet peeve I had with my Pogo in that this NEVER leaks, no matter what you do to it. I can put it horizontal in my bag with 0 worries. -the texture on the outside of the bottle feels velvety matte, like it's frosted or something. It's a really pleasant feel. -it comes with an infusing basket, which is pretty cool! I don't infuse my water, but for those who do that would be really useful. Cons: -the lid does seem like if it were to hit the floor, it could possibly break easily. Luckily the strap has made it so that I haven't dropped it once in a month, but I would be cautious about this as it is the bottle's most fragile point. -this water bottle fits in barely any cup holders, which bummed me out. To be fair, though, at this size I don't think any water bottle does. Just something to be aware of. -this is either a pro or a con depending on what kind of water temperature you like. I prefer my water at room temperature, so I specifically seek out non-insulating water bottles so that fountain water will warm up quickly. This water bottle does not insulate well, which I love, but some people will likely not appreciate. Read more
