Product Details

Add Icon
The Purist WaterGate Bottle features an amorphous silicon dioxide coating that's infused into the inner-wall of the bottle. Essentially, this forms a glass-like finish that provides a totally natural, and completely inert, solution to the problem of your drinks staining the bottle or leaving behind any residual aftertaste. This infusion also shields your fresh water from tasting like plastic on very hot days, making it akin to drinking straight from a sparkling clean glass.
  • Purist infusion shields the bottle from odor, stains, and mold to keep your water pure and your bottle clean.
  • Simple hands-free open and close valve: Nothing to turn.
  • 100% leak-proof top locks down for transport or mixing powdered drinks.
  • Self-sealing Heart Valve™ delivers a high rate of flow with a 100% leak-proof design—even when the valve is open.
  • Rubber over-molded on the outside of cap for easy, sure grip.
  • Made from easy-to-squeeze LDPE material.
  • Clear viewing strip makes it easy to see the bottle's contents.
  • BPA-Free plastic is made from 100% FDA food-grade materials, and it's printed with non-solvent base (UV Cured), CPSC-approved ink and materials.
  • Available in 22oz and 26oz Purist Bottles.

Good Bottle, poor cap

The caps on these bottles WILL build up black sludge/residue from past backwash so be very good at cleaning the rubber spout! If you just simply rinse them out like regular spouts it is not enough. I don't know why they are so good at keeping germs on the spout compared to Specialized regular plastic-type spouts which do not do this..

Great price point, perfect water bottle

These are a perfect water bottle, and the price point is hard to beat. The cap on his actually allows for more output than normal water bottles. This is really nice, as you really only need to squeeze once to get what you need. I’ve rinsed well after every ride and have had no issue with build up or taste.

Purist is the best cleanest tasting liquids! Rest of bottle is average.

Purist is the way to go for clean tasting liquids! "Watergate" cap kinda sucks though. You have to squeeze kinda hard to get the last 20% of liquid out of bottle. I like the "Big Mouth" cap better. I got the "woodmark smoke" bottle and it gets scuffed easily with the specialized rib cage II cages i have but i guess who cares. I think all bottle brands get scuffed/scratched easy which is why they are cheap. The "purist" coating is what its all about for me though.

I Should've Known to Avoid a Product Called 'Watergate'

A water bottle has 2 jobs to do: hold water securely, and deliver it to your mouth when you want it. The Watergate caps fail spectacularly at that second job. It's next to impossible to actually get the water out of the bottle. The caps also don't allow any air back in, so the bottle remains scrunched/deformed after you drink, so it won't fit securely in a bottle cage. I've never come so close to throwing away a bottle in the middle of a ride. These were an infuriating waste of money.

Ok

It takes a lot of squeeze to pressurize the bottle to release its contents. When it gets low it is almost impossible

It’s great that you can

It’s great that you can leave the top open but only get liquid out when you squeeze the bottle. It doesn’t leak when it’s like this. No fiddling around whilst on the move. Excellent.

Bottle is GREAT. Cap is INFURIATING.

Purist bottles are the best, hard stop, but this WaterGate cap makes me want to scream. The one positive of the cap is that it does not leak, even in the open position. But the negatives, my goodness. You have to squeeze the bottle so hard to get water to come through that if you're tired in any way you might not be able to activate it. And when the seal finally does open, you're going to shoot water into your mouth and down your throat at a rate that could choke you if you're not ready for it. AND the valve doesn't bring air back inside in the reverse direction so now your bottle is permanently squished until you can get on a flat and unscrew it enough to let air back in. This thing is terrible. I have other caps that work just fine so no losses here, but man, don't buy this cap — buy a Purist with a standard cap.

Would Recommend?
Yes!

Tastes like water, not plastic.

Tastes like water, not plastic. But I find it easier to just remove the cap than to squeeze the bottle hard enough to get past the cap seal.

Great bottle - Wish it were bigger

So far these two bottles have been great. Easy to use, leak proof and have left very very little taste after using electrolyte pills. However, I wish the bottle were bigger. I live in the Central Valley of CA, and my Summer rides are often at temps over 100, so I need lots of water.
